Lens do make all the difference. They are mainly using prime lens here with fixed focal length, these give much crisper pictures compared to zoom lens. They are also using their top of the range primes as well, the sort that sell for twice as much as the camera. But these can be hired at resonable rates for important shoots, also older nikkor manual prime lens, without any AF functions will fit the camera and can be bought relatively cheaply.

You’ll probably need to adjust the exposure setting properly to get an achieved look. You can’t just shoot out of the box thinking it’ll be amazing off the bat. Plus, like the video indicates, they used an assortment of lenses for each different shot.

Are this video is really taken with Nikon D7000? Why my D7000 video doesn’t look like this?

I think it’s “Meet the Rabbi” from “Lucky Number Slevin”
