🎯 Кому и зачем эта камера
Никоновский кроп-флагман 2013 года — классический случай «когда хочется верить в лучшее, а получается как всегда». Инженеры сделали ставку на 24‑мегапиксельную матрицу без AA-фильтра, и на бумаге это выглядело убийственно: двойной слот под SD, 51‑точечная система автофокуса, продвинутая эргономика с двумя дисками управления и 1.3x кроп-режимом, заточенным под спорт и дикую природу. По сути, перед нами нечто среднее между рабочим инструментом для энтузиастов и лотерейным билетом: одни экземпляры радуют глаз, другие вынуждают переснимать архивы и с тоской вспоминать старый Nikon D7000 или даже бюджетную Sony A3500. В первую очередь D7100 подойдёт тем, кто готов мириться с капризным сенсором ради проработанной детализации на низких ISO и кому нужен именно никоновский байонет с моторчиком для «отвёрточных» объективов. Если вы точно знаете, что будете снимать при хорошем свете, обрабатывать RAW и подбирать экспозицию с ювелирной точностью — шанс получить резкие сочные кадры есть. Но если душа просит предсказуемого цвета и малошумной картинки без плясок с бубном — присмотритесь к другим вариантам.
📸 Резкость и шумы: плата за мегапиксели
Первое, что бросается в глаза — почти хирургическая резкость при ISO 100–200. Отсутствие оптического низкочастотного фильтра действительно даёт прирост детализации, и на хорошей оптике, вроде Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 или фиксов 50mm f/1.4, снимки выглядят так, будто их можно потрогать. Владельцы отмечают, что по детализации D7100 превосходит старичка D90 и даже способна удивить владельца D600 в дневных сценах. Но как только вы поднимаете ISO выше 400, картинка уходит в платный сегмент. На ISO 800 шум уже заметен, а к 1600 он принимает характерный «грязный» рисунок с цветными артефактами в тенях — тот самый, который в отзывах называют «чудовищной дичью». Плотность пикселей в 3.9 микрона (против 4.78 мкм у D7000) делает матрицу очень требовательной к точности экспозиции и выбору света: недодержка в контрастной сцене мгновенно вытаскивает паразитные оттенки. По данным независимых тестов, динамический диапазон на ISO 100 составляет около 13.7 EV — на уровне Canon EOS 70D, но заметно ниже, чем у полнокадрового Nikon D610. По факту это камера для студийной и пейзажной съёмки со штатива на низких ISO. Для жизни с частыми перепадами освещения, свадеб или прогулок в пасмурный день она скорее разочарует — шумы придётся давить в редакторе, теряя ту самую хвалёную резкость.
🌈 Цвет и баланс белого: не верьте ЖК‑экрану
Производитель гордо заявляет о «точной цветопередаче», но практика рисует иную картину. В стандартном режиме Vivid красные и зелёные оттенки превращаются в пережжённую кислоту, а нейтральный белый уходит в синеву или коричневатую грязь. Даже принудительный замер по серой карте не всегда спасает: камера подмешивает в тени паразитные оттенки, которые сложно убрать в конвертере. Переход на нейтральный Picture Control и съёмка в RAW несколько улучшают ситуацию, но всё равно после Nikon D800 или современных беззеркалок от Sony цвета кажутся неестественными. Монитор на задней панели — красивый, яркий, но при этом врёт с балансом белого, поэтому полагаться на него при оценке кадра не стоит. Автоматический баланс белого работает более‑менее при дневном свете, а при лампах накаливания и смешанном освещении начинает жить своей жизнью. Придётся либо колдовать над пользовательскими пресетами, либо заранее снимать с запасом по экспозиции и править всё в Lightroom. Для конвейерной работы без глубокой обработки этот цвет скорее недостаток, чем особенность.
🔍 Автофокус и буфер: быстро, но не всегда точно
51‑точечная система автофокуса с пятнадцатью крестовыми датчиками досталась D7100 прямо от профессиональных тёзок. При хорошем контрасте она цепляется за цель моментально — хоть бегущего ребёнка, хоть птицу в полёте. Режим 3D‑слежения работает предсказуемо, а боковые точки почти покрывают весь кадр, особенно в 1.3x кроп-режиме. Но именно здесь и прячутся главные болячки конкретных экземпляров: регулярно встречаются жалобы на систематический фронт‑ или бэк‑фокус, причём даже после юстировки в сервисе. На «отвёрточных» объективах (без встроенного мотора) фокусировка может быть нестабильной: в одном кадре резкость есть, в следующем уходит. Многие владельцы вынуждены пользоваться центральной точкой и перекомпоновкой — парадокс для камеры с такой продвинутой системой. Портят картину и чисто аппаратные компромиссы: буфер при съёмке RAW забивается на 5–6 кадрах, после чего скорость падает до 1–2 fps, что делает D7100 малопригодной для репортажа. На практике это означает, что спортивную или детскую фотографию придётся планировать заранее: короткими очередями, с быстрыми картами (Sandisk Extreme Pro) и постоянной мыслью «а вдруг промахнётся». Для неторопливой пейзажной работы или студийного портрета таких проблем нет.
🕹️ Эргономика и управление: почти профессиональный стандарт
С точки зрения управления D7100 — одна из лучших кроп-зеркалок. Большой пентапризменный видоискатель со 100 % покрытием кадра даёт яркую и информативную картинку, два управляющих диска под большим и указательным пальцами позволяют оперировать выдержкой и диафрагмой, не отрываясь от съёмки. Настраиваемые кнопки (FN, Pv, кнопка AE-L/AF-L), монохромный дисплей на верхней панели, удобный хват и наличие двух пользовательских режимов U1/U2 — всё это делает камеру дружелюбной к тому, кто привык работать в ручном режиме. Единственное, что вызывает неудобство — кнопка ISO, расположенная на левой стороне передней панели: при съёмке с тяжёлым объективом вроде 70-200mm её трудно достать. А ещё хлипкая резиновая заглушка разъёма питания на правой грани вечно норовит открыться под мизинцем правой руки. Работать с D7100 приятно, если вы строите кадр в видоискателе. Но стоит перейти в Live View, как фокусировка становится медлительной, а изменить диафрагму в видеорежиме вообще невозможно — об этом ниже.
🎥 Видео и Live View: запоздалый пассажир
Формально камера пишет Full HD 1080p при 60 кадрах в секунду (в 1.3x кроп-режиме), имеет вход для стереомикрофона и выход на наушники. Но на практике видео получается мыльным, автофокус в режиме Live View работает медленно и шумно — звук моторчика объектива отчетливо слышен на всех записях. Изменить диафрагму во время записи нельзя (зафиксирована при первом кадре), а предусилитель микрофонного входа добавляет заметный фоновый шум. По качеству видеоряд проигрывает не только беззеркалкам Sony A5000, но и старенькой Sony NEX-3N. Единственный плюс — возможность снимать с ручными объективами и полным контролем экспозиции, но ради этого проще взять отдельную видеокамеру. Не рассчитывайте на D7100 как на видеоинструмент. Для случайных роликов её возможностей хватит, но если видеосъёмка для вас в приоритете — смотрите в сторону других систем или как минимум Nikon D610 с более живым автофокусом в Live View.
🛠 Проблемы с качеством сборки и масло на матрице
Отдельная головная боль — контроль качества. В отзывах стабильно возникают жалобы на битые пиксели дисплея прямо из коробки, пыль и масляные пятна на сенсоре после первых сотен срабатываний затвора. Масло, разбрызгиваемое механизмом диафрагмы, создаёт полупрозрачные пятна, которые не счищаются встроенным ультразвуком. Владельцы вынуждены либо отдавать камеру на чистку, либо осваивать ручную очистку матрицы. Другая типичная болячка — неравномерная закрутка винтов крепления байонета, из‑за которой контакт с объективом может пропадать при съёмке с тяжёлыми стеклами и требует переустановки объектива. Эти дефекты проявляются не на всех экземплярах, но шанс нарваться на брак достаточно высок. Перед покупкой обязательно проверяйте матрицу на наличие пятен на прикрытой диафрагме (f/16–f/22) и тестируйте фокусировку с разными объективами. Лучше брать камеру с возможностью возврата, чтобы в случае дефекта не превратиться в героя форумов с рассказами о «тех годах».
⚖️ Итоговый взгляд
Nikon D7100 — это сильный, но глубоко неоднозначный инструмент. С одной стороны, она дарит восхитительную детализацию на штативе и настоящее удобство управления для тех, кто мыслит выдержкой диафрагмой и ISO. С другой — ненадёжный цвет, сюрпризы с шумами и риск получить экземпляр с маслом на матрице заставляют серьёзно сомневаться. Для размеренной творческой работы с хорошим светом она ещё может быть актуальна на вторичном рынке. Но если вы планируете снимать динамику, работать в сложных условиях освещения или снимать видео — пройдите мимо, даже не оглядываясь.
🆚 Топ‑5 альтернатив: Nikon D7100 против конкурентов
Ценовой сегмент около 70 000 рублей заставляет выбирать между кроп-флагманами и базовым полным кадром. Ключевые параметры, по которым различаются эти модели: работа на высоких ISO, серийная съёмка и удобство видео.
| Модель | Разрешение/ISO | АФ/Буфер | Видео/Экран | Вердикт |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nikon D7200 | 24 Мп, до 25600 | 51 точка, буфер 18 RAW | 1080 60p, без поворота | ⚖️ Nikon D7200: расширенный буфер и чуть меньший уровень шума, но по‑прежнему капризный цвет — для спорта выбор очевиднее, для студии разница минимальна. |
| Canon EOS 770D | 24 Мп, до 25600 | 19 точек, буфер около 6 RAW | 1080 60p, поворотный сенсорный экран | ❌ Canon EOS 770D: уступает по числу точек АФ и динамическому диапазону, зато видеосъёмка с автофокусом Dual Pixel намного быстрее — если вы видеоблогер, D7100 нервно курит в сторонке. |
| Pentax K-3 | 24 Мп, до 51200 | 27 точек, буфер 23 RAW | 1080 30p | ✅ Pentax K-3: лучше собрана, имеет встроенный стаб на матрице и огромный буфер, но система автофокуса проигрывает никоновской по цепкости — выбор пейзажиста, который не гонится за скорострельностью. |
| Sony A77 II | 24 Мп, до 25600 | 79 точек, буфер 26 RAW | 1080 60p, откидной экран | ✅ Sony A77 II: скорость серийной съёмки 12 fps и полупрозрачное зеркало дают почти профессиональный репортажный темп, но расход батареи и совместимость с оптикой — слабые стороны. |
| Nikon D610 | 24 Мп, до 25600 | 39 точек, буфер 14 RAW | 1080 30p | ⚖️ Nikon D610: полный кадр даёт лучшую картинку при слабом свете и натуральный цвет кожи, но фазовые точки сосредоточены в центре кадра — для динамичных сцен D7100 может оказаться удобнее. |
Таким образом, D7100 остаётся интересной только для тех, кто уже плотно сидит на системе Nikon DX и не планирует переходить на полный кадр в ближайшее время. Если же вы собираете систему с нуля, разумнее посмотреть на более свежие и сбалансированные модели — либо добавить и взять полный кадр, который избавит от мук с шумами и цветом.

Хорошо
As a photographer, I find that every couple of years I need to upgrade cameras to keep up with the rapid advancement of technology. Last year I purchased a Nikon D7100, and immediately fell in love with it. The D7100 is a brilliant 24.1Mp powerhouse that can cover both the basics, to the more advanced camera functions.The shutter speeds span an impressive range, from Bulb to 1/8000. The camera's lowest and highest standard ISO's are 100, and 6,000, but Nikon also has built in high range ISO sensitivities, which can max out at 25,600. The meter features a 2,016 pixel RBG sensor, which does an excellent job for exposure metering.The camera has plenty of uses for both experienced and novice photographers. In my experience with the camera, it has always been best to run the camera on full manual control, unless dealing with active motion shots, such as you would find in sports.As with most dSLR's, there is a level of fall-off for novice photographers, and while this camera shoots well on auto-features, using the camera's adjustable functions will always provide a better picture. One of the other reasons to shoot in full-manual, is that the auto-focus speed is rather slow. If you will be shooting faster shots, using the auto-focus to set the initial focus is alright, but then its best to turn that off so you can maintain a fast shooting speed.This camera's ISO allows it to deal with dark rooms quite well; attaching it with a very low aperture lens, you can essentially take a picture in absolute darkness.The camera is also capable of shooting in 1080HD. The video function allows you to film while also taking stills, a useful feature if you need to check focus, or capture stills to reduce post production work. The downside to filming with the camera, is that the built in microphone is not the strongest receiver. The sound that it records is usually too quiet, and not of the best quality. If you do want to film sound, I suggest attaching a separate, more powerful mic to the camera's easy to reach port.As a nature photographer, I spend a lot of time in the bush without a tripod. The camera is pretty robust, but that also means that it's heavy (about 3lbs with a lens). It can be uncomfortable to hold at odd angles for long periods of time. I like the size and weight, but for someone just stepping into the world of dSLR's, this is something to stay mindful of.The lens (the 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR ED Nikkor Lens), is alright for what it's worth. A good starter lens, but the thing surely isn't perfect. The aperture doesn't go as low as I would like, and the auto-focus is, as I mentioned earlier, a little slow. A good lens will usually cost more than the camera itself, which is why for a start into the world of SLR's, the accompanying Nikkor lens will do until you get your feet wet.The +/- function on the camera are a little confusing, as they are reversed in comparison to previous models. I have been using this camera for over a year now, and I still haven't gotten used to it.A disappointing aspect of the camera that I have noticed, is that the monitor does not do a great job expressing the actual lighting and contrast of a photograph. Often the pictures will appear lighter than they actually are, which can result in some frustrating post-production work.I can't speak for much post-production (which effectively cuts me out of RAW), as I tend to dislike the need for heavy editing. I have little to no experience with Photoshop, and most of my touch-up is done in GIMP. This dislike of post-production work has led me to make great use of the camera's dual memory card storage, which is nice to stuff with a couple of 32g cards and never worry about running out of space.Overall, the camera is an impressive piece of equipment, and I have enjoyed the upgrade from my old p90. Having so many controllable functions means that the camera's shooting capabilities will last much longer, as one progressively learns more about photography. While I wouldn't recommend this camera to someone who has no experience with manual photography, it is an excellent step into the world of digital SLRs.

I had to make a major decision before buying the D7100: FX or DX. I have been dithering for quite a while and have a hodge podge of Nikon lenses. FX lenses include the 24-70mm f/2.8, 70-200mm f/4.0, and a TC-14E II teleconverter. DX lenses include the 10-24mm and the 85mm VR micro. My belief is that DX was the right way to go for me because 1) good DX cameras produce superb photos, 2) I can buy less expensive lenses because the pretend focal lengths are larger, 3) only the sweetest part of FX lenses (their centers) will be used, 4) DX camera bodies will remain less expensive, and 5) my default print size is only 13"x19". This introductory paragraph is not to convince you that DX is the right way to go but to explain why I bought this camera instead of a D600 or D800.Let me start by saying that I love this camera! Nikon managed to do a few stupid things that I'll mention below but let's talk about the positives first. The shutter release - including focusing, VR, and metering - is so fast that it's hard to press just half way to lock readings. I'm sure there is some shutter lag but I couldn't measure it. Focus is spot on with all my lenses and I have not used the capability to do individual lens adjustments. Other positives as reported by most other reviewers: camera feel (solid); good controls; sensible blend between menus, buttons, and dials; viewfinder setup and image size; etc.I have read some other reviewers that say this camera isn't very sharp. Not so! If you have moved up from a 10-12 megapixel to this one, you can be fooled as I was. I typically pixel peep in photoshop with the image at 100%, i.e., one picture pixel per one monitor pixel. You are looking at a much smaller piece of real estate in this mode when you have twice as many pixels per unit area and that means that you are looking at smaller, less contrasty details. Remember, manufacturer's MTF curves pretty much measure contrast as an approximation to sharpness. Of course the pictures look "oh my god" sharper when you print them since they have twice as many pixels per unit area on paper.I shoot 14-bit raw images with loseless compress and rarely use the 1.3 crop mode though I've mapped crop mode to one of the external buttons. Warning, the full-sized raw files are 25-30 megabytes and that means you can only store about 35 files per gigabyte of hard disk. So make your plans carefully before buying your next large pixel-count camera. Further, photoshop 16-bit psd files from D7100 images take 137MB on disk. I think that I would have bought a less capable camera if I were not shooting raw and running a 16-bit post process. Raw and 16-bit processing are not snobbery, rather they allow me to make up for virtually every type of error at picture-taking time except bad focus, bad subject selection, and excessive camera shake. That for me is the big advantage of digital photography but the D7100 or any other large pixel-count sensor makes you pay in disk storage.Now lets talk briefly about a few snafus. SubjectDistance is a standard Exif parameter and used to be generated in all Nikon DSLR images. ApproximateSubjectDistance is not a standard EXIF parameter but D7100 firmware generates it instead of SubjectDistance! Why is that bad? Three reasons: 1) photoshop will not display the field, 2) ViewNX 2 - Nikon's own software - dosen't display this nonstandard field either, and 3) Nikon support staff will not comment on whether or not either, neither, or both software and firmware will be repaired. The simplest way to recover the information is to load the sidecar file created by photoshop into a text editor and search on "distance" and read a fractional number. I can also convert that distance from metric if I like using a pencil or a calculator. Only a diseased mind could cause such nonsense.Another snafu reported by many in these reviews is the smallish memory buffer that limits rapid shooting. Memory is really cheap - I'd guess that for a two dollar bill, four times as much memory could have been included. I almost never use multiple shot modes or bracketing; rather my problem arises when my shutter finger gets itchy. This is a rarely occurring issue but the symptom of an outrageously dumb parting decision.I have rated this camera 5 stars in spite of these silly design flaws. However, I'd pay money to enter a raffle to paddle Nikon suits who impose these decisions. (The other manufacturers are just as lame.) It's a great camera, impressive in so many ways. Picture quality is great and the camera is capable enough to allow top-notch image capture despite a huge number of tough environmental conditions.

To put the review into some perspective, I upgraded to the D7100 from a D3100 after having it for 18 months. The main reason I made the move was that I was shooting in full manual and wanted the extra controls, the extra focus points, the internal motor, the low light capabilities and a better screen. I will first discuss the positives about the camera very briefly and mainly focus on what I perceive as the cons, as the cons are probably most useful to those considering making a new purchase.Pros: Image quality is superb. Much better than the D3100 and the D3100 was good. I would say the image quality is professional caliber. Focus is blazing fast. The internal motor makes the lenses focus a lot faster. Low light is outstanding, much better than the D3100. You can take a good photo, hand held in nearly complete darkness. You can photograph things at night better then your eyes can see. There is a button for everything and you have a lot of control. The camera has a really nice grip and feels solid. The display is amazing, absolutely bright and sharp. That better screen alone is reason to upgrade, as the D3100 had a terrible screen.Cons: There are some awkward controls that you should be aware of this.1) The user's manual is not user friendly. The cameras functions are very different then the D3100. Prepare to invest time in learning the controls and setting up the controls. Be prepared to buy Douglas Kosterman's Nikon D7100 Experience unless you are upgrading from and D7000 or D600, as this a different camera from the D3100. For $1200 why can't Nikon give some decent instructions?2) The controls and menu are not intuitive. Unless you use this camera daily, you will not remember how to use the buttons or menu controls. I would not advise this camera to a first time DSLR user who will only use it occasionally. Stick with the D3200 or 5200 which are easier to use. I have not used a comparable Canon or Pentax DSLR, but there must be a better way to set up a camera than this.3) The ISO button is in a bad location: The ISO button, image quality size button, and white balance button are all bunched together on the front of the camera. If you accidentally press the image quality or WB button and then hit the command or subcommand dial you will accidentally change it. You will not notice this until you download your pictures and find out that they are screwed up. Both of these happened to me. The command dial changes the ISO and the subcommand dial changes it to and from Auto ISO. The subcommand dial also controls the F-stop. When you are shooting full manual you are constantly adjusting ISO, F-stop and shutter speed. After changing the ISO, if you don't remember to take your thumb off the ISO button you will accidentally change to Auto-ISO when you try to change the F-stop. This happens to me all the time.4) The autofocus button is in awkward location on the front on the camera.5) The Video controls are not intuitive and it takes some time to learn how to take a video. You have to set the ISO, aperture and shutter speed, so this takes getting used to.6) There may be autofocus problems: The focus is very fast but not always accurate. Even when you are using spot focus, I am not always sure that it picks up what you are focusing on if it is a busy seen. No problems focus in low light though.7) The Fn button cannot be assigned to ISO. On the D3100 the Fn was defaulted as the ISO button and it was terrific. The Fn can be assigned to about 18 things, none of which is ISO. The Fn button is the natural choice for ISO, not on the front of the computer.8) The grey card setup is complicated and you will have to refer to the manual often. The manual is an inch think and will not fit in your camera back. The grey card is such an important function that it should be easy and intuitive.9) There is no panorama function. Why does my IPhone 5 have panorama and this doesn't?10) The mode dial has two unnecessary locks on it. There is little chance that you will inadvertently turn the mode dial, yet it has two locks. There is about a 100% chance that at some point you will inadvertently press some other button that is all over the camera and turn the command dial, mess up your shot and you won't know about it until you download the pictures.11) Battery life is only fair, buy extra batteries.Update May, 2014.After recently purchasing an Olympus EM-10, I can tell you that the D7100 is now obsolete and a dinasaur. I have dowgraded by rating from 4 to 3 stars. Amazing what can happen in less than one year. Compared to the EM-10, the controls on the D7100 are downright awful and Nikon should be embarrassed that they did not come up with a better design in the first place. The mirorrless cameras have come so far that if Nikon and Canon does not come up with a comparable competitor they will likely both be out of business in the next decade. That is how good the new mirorrless cameras are.

Having been a heavy user of the Nikon D100, D200, and D300s starting around 2002, I watched waited in anticipation for the new Nikon D300s replacement as the Nikon DX flagship camera. When the Nikon D7100 was introduced, I followed the discussion as to whether it was or was not the replacement. Frankly, amid purely speculative rumors of a D400, I remain unsure. However, the D7100 is clearly a contender for the position (and with a 1.3 crop factor sensor versus the 1.5 of the D300s).First off, it is important to note that while there are sometimes issues with first production runs of cameras, many of the issues I researched were unusual in comparison to number of units sold. Many reported issues such as sharpness are simply from people who may be buying equipment that exceeds their skill level. For example, as you increase pixels and gather more data, proper steady hand-holding techniques become critical and the camera is less forgiving. This is why I advise people I give classes to seriously consider not jumping into advanced gear. While improper focusing and hand-holding issues may be barely evident on a D300s (12mp), they are very evident on a D800 (36 mp). Regardless, it is important to take every review with a "grain of salt." Even my review.I am a freelance part-time professional photographer and my review is in that context. Many full time pros are very hard on their gear. I am not. Nevertheless, I found the build quality of the D7100 on par with my D300s, just smaller, lighter, and arguably more ergonomic for smaller hands. Pro's will definitely opt for the grip. Though it will probably not matter to many D7100 buyers, the D7100 is not built with the same magnesium alloy frame of the D300s though it does incorporate partial alloy in critical areas. Like the D800 and D300, the D7100 is weather sealed. Neither of these features is likely to sway someone looking at the D7100 nor should it. Camera use cycles (not life cycles) are estimated around 2-4 years. That means at this level of camera purchase, it is likely the purchaser will keep the camera for that duration; a duration that more or less coincides with Nikon product release cycles for this class of camera (DX format). The D100 was released in 2002, the D200 in 2005, the D300 in 2007, the D300s in 2009, and now the D7100. Though the D7000 was released in 2010, no one considered it even a possible successor to the D300s unlike the D7100, which appears a contender in this regard. Based on all this information, it appears likely that users will ditch their camera models well before issues of build quality come into play. At most, resale value may be affected.The D7100 is a multimedia convergence device and builds on that strength. It blurs the line between still image and video art. In fact, I recently recommended this camera as an all in one solution to an organization that was starting up its public relations department and needed to capture massive amounts of video and still images. Nikon's 24 mp DX format CMOS sensor in the D7100 avoids the use of a low pass filter and thus improves sharpness (with proper technique) with "usable" (subjective term I rarely shoot beyond ISO 200) ISO to 6400 with perceptible noise issues beginning to develop around ISO 1600. There are significant improvements to focusing and speed processing through the use of a 51 point focus system and Expeed 3 processing (2016-pixel RGB evaluative sensor)- a significant improvement over the D7000 (many reported focusing speed issues). The D7100 also incorporates 15 cross type sensors for horizontal and vertical contrast detection. Significantly, and perhaps what most aspiring film producers look at most, the camera provides 1080p video in a variety of formats with an array of scalability (jacks, external monitors, HDMI out, WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter, etc..). Since video is not my area of expertise, I will rely on other reviewers to report their experiences. My short experience with testing the video yielded professional results very quickly. I just can't deal with amount of processing time needed at my computer.In the area of still photography, usability and end products were exceptional. First, the D7100 viewfinder utilizes a high-contrast OLED display for much improved viewfinder clarity at 100% coverage (the LCD is is also slightly larger). Focusing was fast and dead on (my 80-200 2.8 locked on with laser precision). As I said before, the D7100 has much improved focusing and processing speed as well as AF tracking with face priority (which, I rarely use). This might also be influenced by the elimination of the low pass filter in front of the sensor. My low light comparison tests to the D300s put the focusing speed at about the same or just slightly slower. The elimination of the filter also provides greater ability of the sensor to resolve image detail. However, using cheap lenses will offset against the D7100. In my tests, this was ex

I picked up the body three days ago, as an upgrade to my D90 - I was particularly interested in the weather sealing, how it performed without an AA filter, and some of the goodies that filtered in from the prior model, like the dual SD slots.Coming from the D90, this is simply an astounding upgrade in terms of image rendition, range, light sensitivity, and performance... but it takes spending some quality time becoming familiar with it to truly appreciate it.If you are the sort of person - like me - who simply starts tweaking things in advance without really testing them, then you can easily make things difficult for yourself. Case in point: 51 AF points. Coming from the D90, where I had 11, this seemed to be a really good thing, and it CAN be, in the right scenario. However, if you blindly set it to use 3D tracking without considering your subject, the sheer density of the focus points combined with certain subjects can lead to a lot of focus-shifting back and forth. The solution to this is to either use pure auto focus (and I know you purists are shaking your head already at that one, I know I was at first), change the AF mode to AF-S, or use less focus points. I suspect if I had just left the focus as it shipped, I wouldn't have seen any issue at all.Much of what is new to me, like the custom modes, won't be new to somebody coming from the D7000, so I won't go into detail on those. It does feel that this has become the definitive DX camera to track action - sports and wildlife in particular, given the new crop mode (which is of no use to me) and the aggressive focus tracking. But there's plenty in there for other shooters as well, and the extra resolution and light sensitivity is never a bad thing. What this really means is that this camera really has two types that will be particularly interested in it... If you are looking to shoot action affordably, this is your new camera. If you are an experienced user looking for the most advanced DX format Nikon has to offer at this time, this is also your camera. However, if you are a novice, or if you are not willing to spend some time tuning it to how you work, this may be too much camera for you.It also seems like many of the enhancements were for movie modes - and I'm a stills guy, so I can't speak to those. Technically, I'm sure it's amazing.From an image resolution standpoint - there are two things that may give a false impression that this camera doesn't perform as you would expect. The first: Sharpening is set extremely low by default, so the first time you zoom in to 100%, you are probably going to have a question or two. Dialing up the sharpness fixes that quite nicely if you are a sharpness junkie. The second: Your own technique. And by this, I mean knowing what aperture to shoot in, really knowing how to be steady, knowing how to release the shutter without adding rotational motion - There are a ton of factors that could affect this. So if you are still aren't happy with the sharpness after dialing it up, set your camera in aperture priority, dial it up to 8 (or whatever is optimal for your lens, but 8 is a safe bet), set it on something heavy, check your focus in live mode, and use a timer release mode. You will quickly see where the problem is, and unless you have a really awful lens, I'll take the odds that it's NOT the camera that is the problem- This thing is SHARP. It is only limited by the lens and the operator.Now, for those of you worried about moire, I have some good news for you: I've been shooting repeating patterns - pinstripes, grid textures, you name it - trying to create moire. I have yet to succeed... I'm sure it's possible, but I haven't been able to coax it out yet. Point is - it will take some effort to make that happen, and I don't think that should factor in your decision.My gripes are incredibly minor. The new "i" menu screen is laid out very intelligently and greatly eases camera operation, but it also just about makes the "info" button redundant - I'd rather have had the ability to hit "i" or "info" twice - once to show info, the other to open the menu - and have the ability to remap the additional button to something else.Quiet mode, well, isn't very. Probably not distinct to this model over any other Nikon SLR with quiet mode, but I was expecting more.And why did Nikon take away my ability to toggle on the info screen along with the LCD backlight?These are minor gripes, and I'm hard pressed to come up with anything. I've seen people complain about the buffer size, but I just shot 32 full-size JPGs at full speed before it started slowing down as I was writing this. There may be some focus issues for some people, but for me it was technique along with camera settings. I've been looking for things to criticize, and it's just not that easy. What I have is a truly significant upgrade that has astounded me with its performance, and is an improvement in every way from the already strong D90 I was comin

***UPDATED 3/18/13 TO INCLUDE SOME MEMORY CARD BUFFER BENCHMARKS IN MEMORY CARD SECTION***This review is aimed at people who are relatively new to photography (~couple years), as I am in the same boat. There will be much more thorough reviews on Amazon for people who are already serious photographers, written by people who are actually serious photographers.General Impression:A wonderful upgrade from my D5100 after 2 years of heavy use. This camera is obviously aimed at a different person than the D3x00 or D5x00 series as it offers quick access to advanced features without having to go through tons of menus.Construction/Feel:This camera feels like a series camera. Coming from the all plastic D5100, this thing is built like a tank. It is noticeably larger than my old camera, which is due to the fact that it has more knobs and wheels.Controls:One of the main reasons I wanted to upgrade from an entry level dSLR was so I can quickly change settings without having to hunt through menus to do so. This camera fits the bill very well and has a few major upgrades from my point of view. Fistly, the U1 and U2 settings are invaluable. Being able to have a group of settings stored such that I can revert back to them by turning one knob is major. Several times in the past I have been trying to compose one shot only to have a completely different shot appear that required different settings altogether. This takes a while to do on the more entry level camera and has been very annoying. Something that may not seem that important but I love already is the depth of field preview button. I enjoy being able to see what the aperture setting will actually look like without having to take a shot and review on the LCD. The final feature that I love are a collection of buttons/knobs/wheels that allow me to change things like shooting mode (continuous, timer, etc), AF mode, ISO setting, etc without having to get into a menu. I haven't quite committed their location to memory but once I do I won't even have to take the camera away from my face to make the changes. Again, this section here is really the reason I wanted to upgrade and I am not disappointed.Auto Focus:The 51-point AF on this camera has been a dream to use. I almost always keep the camera set to single point servo autofocus so I can select the point I want it to focus to. As long as you have some contrast, it is very quick and accurate to focus. A big positive in this camera over the lower level ones is that it DOES have a built in AF motor which means it will autofocus on lenses that do not have a built in motor. I do have the Tokina 11-16mm 2.8 which lacks a motor, so I was stuck manually focusing it on my previous camera. I notice this camera has a much faster focusing speed compared to the D5100 and also is able to focus in low light better, I believe its supposed to be a 1 stop improvement.LCD Screen:I do/will miss the rotating/articulating screen the D5100 had. I can understand why on a semi-pro/prosumer camera they would remove it (it could fairly easily break off and does seem like somewhat of a gimmick), but I mainly enjoyed it because i could turn it around to protect the screen while transporting. This screen is definitely a better quality though and shows much more information.Noise:Wonderful sensor, great signal to noise ratio. With my D5100 I would start to see things go down hill around ISO1600-3200. With this camera, I will be bumping that setting up to 6400 which gives me 1-2 stops of slack to play with. A little noise reduction in editing software makes the images completely usable. Very happy with the noise. I'm guessing the full frame bodies do a better job in this category, but this camera does all I need it to. Also, still waiting for Lightroom to update their camera compatibility.Image Quality:I'm not a pixel-peeper nor do I have the extensive experience to really discuss the image quality. It takes good pictures if I compose good pictures.Battery Life:No complaints. I have gotten a couple hundred shots off and still have half battery life. I do expect to buy another battery at some point for times when I might be taking a couple thousand shots over a weekend.Memory Card:I enjoy being able to put two SD cards in here and plan to always use them in the backup mode (in case one should sheet the bed). VERY IMPORTANT, BIG DEAL HERE: The memory you put in is very important. From my D5100 I had a few Transcend 16 GB Class 6 SDHC Flash Memory Card TS16GSDHC6E. When I got the D7100, i felt the camera was not shooting as fast as it should. I then bought one SanDisk Extreme Pro 32 GB SDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Flash Memory Card 95MB/s SDSDXPA-032G-AFFP and would like to explain the results of my tests. So i set up on a tripod the same shot with each card at 14bit RAW uncompressed, as many as the camera take in 30 seconds. The only difference was the cards. The results are astounding and are not a typo. I got 68 shots with the sandi

m3SIQ5UYC44FK4 / mo1WD2M8TAS9PVM Length:: 5:12 Mins***UPDATED REVIEW TO REFLECT ADDITIONAL USE***As a happy D7000 owner for more than two years, I immediately upgraded to the D7100. Rather than rehash all of the camera specs in this review, I'll focus on what has changed vis-a-vis the previous camera.NEW 24.1 MEGAPIXEL SENSOR, 1.3x CROP MODE, NO AA FILTERAlthough I didn't really care about having more megapixels, there are advantages. The most obvious is cropping and the 1.3x crop mode is a nice feature if you are into bird & wildlife photography. The crop mode delivers an in camera crop that essentially discards pixels around the outer perimeter of the image (instead of a 6000x4000 DX image, the camera captures a cropped 4800x3200 image). Because the resulting cropped files are smaller (about 16 megapixel) the cameras gets a slight boost in frame rate to 7 fps. There are focusing advantages as well, since all 51 focus points cover almost the entire frame of the image. Nikon has worked wonders with the 24.1 megapixel sensor, delivering amazing resolution detail while keeping noise in check. The noise that appears in higher ISO images has a grain quality that's more pleasing to my eye than previous Nikon cameras I have owned (YMMV). The removal of the AA filter is icing on the cake, placing this camera in the company of the D800E (which merely canceled its AA filter - the D7100 deletes it altogether). The new crop mode, combined with enhanced sharpness, were key selling points to me. After extensive use of the D7100, I'm happy to report that the camera is SHARP SHARP SHARP. (And did I mention that it is SHARP?) I was never 100% pleased with the sharpness of images coming out of my D7000, but this new camera is amazing in that department. Whether this performance is the result of the deletion of the AA filter, I do not know - but I know the camera is sharp.NEW WEATHER-SEALED BODYThe camera feels great in my hands, solid and substantial without being a brick. The body is now fully weather sealed (reportedly to the standard of the D800) and the button layout changes are logical and well thought out. I like the new "i" button - it's a cinch to change key camera settings, especially toggling the image area between DX and 1.3x crop modes. Nikon has tweaked the ergonomics nicely, with the larger thumb rest and raised "OK" button control pad. The LCD screen is 3.2", larger, brighter, and higher resolution than the D7000 screen. ALL of these changes are subtle but significant improvements. Note also that pressing the "OK" button during shot review zooms to a 100% review of the image at the focus point, allowing you to pixel peep on the fly - a great feature that will become essential once you start using it.51 AUTOFOCUS POINTSThe AF is improved as well, with a whopping 51 AF points (that extend edge-to-edge in 1.3x crop mode). The camera focuses quickly and (for the most part) accurately.COLORI'm liking the color captured by the D7100 better than that of the D7000 (and its Sony sensor). It's warmer and more organic to my eye.VIDEO UPGRADESI shoot a lot of video, so I'm happy about the new frame rates (including 60P). The new location of the movie record button, next to the shutter release, makes sense. I'm particularly happy that we now have a headphone jack on the camera. Sure, we don't always use the in camera audio, but it is nice to be able to monitor it now if necessary. The camera LCD display now sports audio level indicators, too.POSSIBLE WEAKNESSESThe sharp 24 megapixels demand better lenses and better technique to get the results you want - is that a weakness? In other words, the ceiling of performance is higher with the D7100, but you will need the lens and technique to take advantage of it.The buffer could be larger - this will be the Achilles Heel for some bird shooters. By limiting the buffer, Nikon has left the door open for a true D300 replacement to slot above this camera in the lineup. For me, the many considerable upsides of the D7100 outweigh the buffer issue.I'm not a big fan of the new locking control dial (I never had problems with the old dial) but it works fine - it just slows down operation a bit, and I worry that it may break. Just a minor quibble: the shutter sound is different, perhaps a little louder, than the D7000 shutter.CONCLUSIONBrilliant camera. Nikon has dialed up the D7000 in every area you would expect, and a few you would not expect. The D7000 is an outstanding camera, but the D7100 offers improvements across the board. Better weather-sealed body, better ergonomics, more resolution, better color, more AF points, no AA filter, a 1.3X crop mode, a headphone jack, 60P frame rate, on screen audio levels. And did I mention that it is SHARP SHARP SHARP?The D7100 is the best DX camera to date.

This camera is almost perfect. At the very end of this review I will explain why this camera is not perfect.VIEWFINDERThere is a nice sized viewfinder on the back of the camera. It is NOT a touch screen. It does NOT swivel out.PICTURE QUALITYStunning. I took some images on the lowest camera setting and the pics still looked good, it was as if I could put my hand in the photograph and pull out the people. The images had a 3D look.LENSI purchased this camera with the 18-140mm and 55-300mm lens. The 18-140 lens will do about 95% of what most users will need. The lower end is great for wide angle shots and the upper end is awesome for portrait work. It's nice to have the 55-300mm lens but on a daily basis, 18-140 is sufficient.SENSORThis is a DX sensor (23.5mm x 15.6mm) which lets in a lot of light. Light is what a photo is made from. The next best sensor, for all intense purposes, is a full frame sensor. This DX is more than adequate for most individuals. If you are not sure of which sensor size you need then the DX is perfect.MEDIAThis camera has two SD slots and can take SD, SDHC, and SCXC cards. Mine came with a 32gb SD card.WIRELESSMy camera came with the WU-1a wireless adapter. The adapter works ok, I just wish it was built in instead of having it dangling on the side of the camera.BATTERYPlease buy and extra battery. I am only getting about 400 images off a charge.FLASHThe built in flash offers red eye reduction as well as other features.USER MANUAL - SHOULD YOU READ IT?Don't do it. This manual will have you jumping all over the place. Instead I recommend the book Mastering the Nikon D7100 by Darrell Young. Although the included Nikon manual is less than desirable, the camera is still excellent.NEGATIVE - WHY THIS CAMER IS NOT PERFECTThe only negative of this camera is that it does not include an option to place a date and time stamp (date imprint) directly onto a jpeg file - for those of us who want that option it is major. You can imprint the date and time if using a pic Bridge printer which equals useless. The work around is to buy a software program, either [Easy Batch Photo] or [Batch Photo]. Both of those programs work on the Mac (not sure about the PC). If buying software is not an option AND you want the date imprinted on your jpeg files then I recommend purchasing the Nikon D5200 instead. The later will give the same photo quality as the D7100. FYI: the images will have the date listed on the EXIF data but when you print the images you will need to hand write the date or use one of the software programs I mentioned above to have the date printed. Why is this feature so important to me? I am heavy into genealogy and I want to document the date the photo is taken. Although everything NOW is in the present tense, 50 years from now the images will be in the past tense. I have a family photo taken in 1906 and one taken in 1917. I know the year because it was written on the image. I would like to do the same for my descendants. Nikon, please offer an update to include this feature. If it is an option then those who do not want it can just turn it off.Final thoughts, this is a great camera and I definitely recommend it. But if I had it to do all over again I would NOT buy it because there is no date/time stamp option.
