DSLR lighting problems?
I have a Nikon D7000 and when I would take pictures indoor where its darker, I would need to raise the ISO to 6400 and the shutter to 1/40 of a second and aperture of 3.5 to make balance the exposure but i don't want to use the flash because I want the most natural lighting possible. But when the setting are like this, the quality of the picture will be extremely bad. I use to have a Nikon D5200 and when I was indoor I could put the ISO at 320 and shutter at 1/100 a second and aperture at 4.0 and it would be perfect lighting. Is there something wrong with my D7000 or am I doing something wrong? Please help?!

Not all indoor lighting is the same, just because you were able to use ISO 320 1/100 f 4.0 in one situation indoors doesn't mean that will work in every lighting situation. Try to boost your ambient light

Jeanette is correct. You are comparing apples and oranges. What you consider the same light is not necessarily the same to the camera. You cannot base what you did with another camera at another time to a shot you are taking now. Though you may think the light is the same, it actually is not. It is not the camera that has "lighting problems". All cameras meter the same. It is the ambient light that is not the same, even if you think it is.
Also, if you had a faster lens, such as a 1.2 or 1.4, you would not have to raise the ISO so high.

Not all indoor lightings are the same. The D5200 will behave exactly like the D7000. In fact all cameras will behave the same way.
