I have just bought this camera and I find your advice invaluable - you explain clearly and concisely, just what a DSLR novice needs! Thank You!

@asianlaxer i do believe that difference regarding what appears semi professional and expert is little nowadays. d7000 is perhaps all everyone need. go to... freedslr(.)com remove () and take the chance to bring home completely new Nikon D7000

Aah thanks! Did found it already on the manual.

Thanks for your time to answer.

@RobinMoviesOffical I found out that there is a buffer that limits the number of pictures you can take. If Active D lighting or Noise Control are turned on it reduces this buffer size to like 5 photos. With those options off you can take 100 photos under most conditions. Look at your manual, I think page 58. Search for buffer. This limit can be seen in the viewfinder when the shutter button is half way pressed down.

Thanks! I got another question probably.

How to photograph in the 3fps? I hold the shutter button and it makes 4 photo´s (pretty quick) and it stops. I saw on other videos they can do like 10 photos.
