It all depends on how much availible light you have and what lenses you have to work with.

Thanks for your response.
Let's say I have bumped up my ISO to the maximum (which is 200 on my D70) and also opened up my lens to the max at 2.8. The problem is that at 2.8 I am not getting a deep enough depth of field. I need at least a 5.6 to keep enough of the model in focus.
At that point I need to either
A) add more light
B) open up the shutter
IF I open up the shutter very far I need to put the camera on a tripod to avoid blur.
At what shutter speed to I need to use a triopod. Also, if I am using a image stabilized lens how much does this help?
(I am looking at getting a Canon 5D which has a much more sensitive ISO than my D70)
