Usable ISO range of Nikon D7000?

Martha, keep in mind...the information you have received about the D7000 ISO, is the same information in all DSLR on ISO (give or take on the cameras range of ISO). So don't let what the rep tell you about the D7000 ISO keep you from getting the camera. Because all DSLR will have noise. 
Shadowfixer1 wrote: Think of ISO like you do volume on a stereo. At a normal volume (ISO), it sounds great. Turn up the volume (ISO) and the sound (image) becomes distorted (noise). Cranking up the ISO is just amplifying the signal which introduces noise. Just because you get noise doesn't mean you can't use it. That's the only way to get the image at times. These are happy days when comparing digital with high speed film. Much better images today when using high ISO. Better to have a sharp image with noise than a blurry noise free image due to using a slow shutter speed and a low ISO.
That's a good visual, I'll need to remember that one when I try to explain ISO next time
