Is the new Canon 60D and the New Nikon D7000 an entry level or a semi pro dslr?
I'm new to photography and will be taking courses on it soon. I have been researching dslr's mainly the Nikon d5000, Nikon d7000, Canon Rebel T1i and Canon 60d. My goal is to buy a dslr that I can start out with (hopefully make a little money after I learn) as well as have for a while to make a career out of. I would love to have the Nikon d300 or a higher model but can't afford those at the moment. What is a good camera I can use for portraits, kids, and after experience… Weddings to start out with but can give photos a professional look? I'm not at all interested in starting with a film camera so please don't give advice or recommendations on those. Also can you please tell me which groups the cameras listed above fall into entry level or semi-pro?
Added (1). The courses I'm taking require a digital slr. The school has an introductory to photography class for film cameras and another introductory to photography for digital slrs.
While you might not be interested in starting out with a film camera, you better check into those courses you are going to take. Many require a film SLR.
Learning using film is THE fastest way to learn how to produce perfectly exposed shots every time you press the shutter release.
It also teaches you discipline when taking photos. Look through the camera, compose the shot, confirm the exposure, press the shutter release. When you have this process down to where it is almost automatic, moving over to digital photography will save you a ton of time in post processing. Basically the less time you have to spend in front of the computer, the more money you will make shooting images
Of the two cameras, I would suggest the D7000. The reason is, as you move into the role as a professional photographer you will want to be using the Nikon D3s or D3 cameras. Already having a Nikon system will optimize your capital expenses.
They're all basically the same. All dSLRs have aperture, shutter and ISO control. Those are the basics.those are all you need. The cheapest to the most expensive have all those. They're all the same.
More expensive, more extreme the control values get, easier to access those controls. That's basically what your paying additionally for. If you can't live without ISO 12800 or 1/8000s shutter speed then get the entry-level dSLR. It is still possible to get the shot somehow with a lesser camera.
I would consider the 60D as enthusiast level
and the D7000 will fall under semi-pro for me
I would suggest to have a look at entry level DSLR such as Nikon D3100 14.2MP Digital SLR Camera
* 14.2-megapixel DX-format CMOS image sensor;
* 3-inch monitor with One-Touch Live View shooting and movie capture
* Full 1080p HD Cinematic Video with full-time autofocus and sound
* Easy-To-Use Nikon Guide Mode with intuitive controls and on-board assistance
