Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Nikon D7100 Body

By some miracle, my camera arrived in one piece and in working order. It's delivery was announced by a thud on my cement landing and the noise of a mail truck speeding away. No problem I thought, with a sturdy box and plenty of bubble wrap, the camera didn't feel anything. Or did it? The small rectangular box was torn open on one end revealing a single piece of bubble wrap loosely lodged in the outer box end opposite of the square inner Nikon box. There was no padding at all around the Nikon box itself. The fact that the camera initially passed all function tests that I put it through is a testament to its solid build. But what's the deal; was the Amazon packer drunk? I don't know.But the camera is extremely customizable, solid and a mean video tool that might even exceed D800 video. The 60i option is very smooth for movement, no noticeable strobing and it may mitigate some of the normal rolling shutter issues - still testing. One needs to allow for a more wide-angle lens for video shooting if in the 1.3X mode (the only mode that allows 60i), even though it is true 1080, you are effectively cropping in on the scene. I find the selectable single point auto focus to be almost as smooth as manual focus, the other high tech focus modes in LiveView have way too much searching focus action. Nothing screams "home video" like watching a video where the camera is zooming in and out of focus as it brackets to find the sharpest image - thankfully you don't get that in the single point mode. One half push of the shutter release and it locks the focus on that point, if you want to shift focus, you can move the focus box to the next point without altering the video until you half-push on the new point. Shift! I like it. Still testing the still image functionality but it certainly beats my old D90, sharpness, noise, larger image viewer - a long list. At this price point, you can't go wrong with this level of function. I wanted the D800 but after computing how long I'd be paying for it and the fact that I'm currently awash in DX glass, the total D800 operational cost was still a killer.

I think it's the best thing you can get for under $2000 and have room for lenses. Solid feature set, easy to learn and use, very flexible menu systems for a ton of customizations, and all of the buttons and switches are in comfortable spots for my quick adjustment needs.While for me, this is the best prosumer choice, I can't stop reading reviews from pros and having conversations with folks in the industry who want to get one for their high-end work.Sure it's a cropped lens, but I'm not doing any tourist photography that'll suffer. I paired it with a 35 mm DX Nikkor prime 1.8 along with a Tamron 10-24 wide-angle and took it to two weddings with a borrowed 85 mm Nikkor prime and SB 600 flash. Amazing photos, easy to learn with, and a very solid camera.A trip around the world this month found the battery to last at least a couple of days per charge, though I carried a spare and had to change it every 800-1000 photos.Don't get the kit lens if you're going to use it a lot. Get the body only and you'll appreciate choosing your own lenses. I learned a lot from the reviews on The Wirecutter.I love the dual SD slots, and have two 64 GB Sandisk cards in it (now my camera has more hard drive space than my laptop!). I'm using one for RAW and the other for JPG. I understand its overkill, but I'm still learning to compose shots and am trying to get better at weaning myself off of RAW while still learning how to do my editing in post.I love this body and how it feels in my hands over any Canons I've used, and it isn't as heavy as the really high end cameras that I can't comfortably take it with me. Fits in a comfortably small Crumpler bag with a few accessories and without breaking my shoulder.LOVE THIS CAMERA!

I have a Canon T70 and AE 1 film units with usual lens array from '85 and '80. I have a basic digital point and shoot camera. This camera is truly a great camera and the sensor size allows it to be affordable for non professionals who want to grow in knowledge and develop their abilities. Reading through the manual and other info and comparing it to the D800 which a family member has, it seems to be a parallel in capability plus no anti aliasing filter feature. I am pleased with results as I have used it on a limited basis, I am exercising its features and getting some setup routines clear in my own mind and using them. My family member is bringing me up to speed on proven techniques used with the D800 and I am paralleling with the DX7100. No issues at this point.

Overall D7100 it is a very good and capable camera. However, depending on what you plan to use it or what camera body you have been using, your experiences with this camera can be very different.My experience with this camera is coming from a person who already own D600 and want to have another body for wildlife as well as backup camera. Consequently, what I need the most from D7100 is the continuous speed shooting capability and decent picture quality - especially when comparing with D600. So, from this perspective, unfortunately I I do have 3 major issues with D7100 and I would give it 3 stars.1) Small buffer size: Apparently, the advertised 6 fps or 7fps (cropped mode) is probably feasible if you shoot in JPEG. If you are a RAW shooter, the shooting speed will drop to 3-4 fps after approx 10 shots were released (with 95 MB/S SD card) and it will take a while before the buffer is cleared. Well.... this won't work with wildlife shot!2) Picture quality is very good but definitely a different league when compared to D600. Although this is not such a deal breaker but definitely worth noting.3) Build quality. I may be a few of the unlucky ones who got a defected copy of this camera. For some reasons, I found that sometime the camera won't focus with heavy lens such as 70-200mm or 200-400mm unless I remove the lens and put it back again. Looks like loose connection??? Come on Nikon, I still have to deal with oil on the sensors on my D600 and now another problem with D7100???However, if you're upgrading from other DX bodies such as D90 or D7000, this camera will be a significant upgrade and it definitely worth 5 stars!So, on average, I will give it 4 stars!

After having shot over 20,000 frames with the excellent D7000, It is my opinion that the D7100 is a much better camera.I usually shoot hand-held from a kayak, starting before sunrise and in all sorts of conditions.Several reviews would lead you to believe that the D7100 is a marginal improvement over the D7000.I won't debate the technical specs of the two. We'll leave that to the experts.After using both cameras extensively, It is my conclusion that the D7000 is fantastic. And the D7100 is significantly better.For the money (in 2013) I doubt that there is a better Nikon on the market. I also use a D800 and have a hard time distinguishing the results from those of the D7100. For sports and nature photography, the D7100 is an absolute bargain.My only complaint is that Nikon has had isolated issues with dust or oil spots on some of the D7100 sensors. Fortunately, Amazon makes exchanges very easy.My Dad had a D90 and was quite content with it. After shooting with the D7100, I decided that we needed to retire his D90.For Farther's Day he got the D7100. He went from using the D90 approximately once a month to using the D7100 every week.I have a D300S, D7000, D7100 and a D800. The D7100 is by far my favorite for sports and wildlife.Because all of my equipment is Nikon, I can't compare the brands.From my casual observations, Canon appears to have an edge in terms of price and popularity. For anyone just starting out, it's probably a tough decisionFortunately, we are living in the Golden Age of Photography and you really can't go wrong.

This is an absolutely tremendous DSLR, far better than any other that I've used. Image quality is great, with very little loss of detail even at quite high ISO's (I'd make a big print at 6400 without any shame). The 24MP sensor captures a huge amount of detail, suitable for cropping if you don't have a long enough lens when shooting wildlife, but you'll need good technique (and good lenses) to get the most out of it. The amount of detail sucked in by this sensor with good glass at low and moderate ISO is really nothing short of amazing; you can crop half the image off and still have enough pixels left over to make a 300DPI 14x11 print. The flexibility in post-processing on the RAW files is fantastic.The AF system is quite surefooted; along with the AF-S 80-400, it will even track flying swallows. (On the other hand, it had trouble in low awful light with the 50/1.8G. Don't know whether this is the lens or the camera's fault.)The viewfinder's nice and clear, the ergonomics are pretty good, the imaging is fantastic -- it's a winner. No, it's not FX. But that doesn't matter for most uses; if you need better low light performance, get a fast prime like the 35/1.8 or 50/1.8. Only if you're already maxing out the aperture on one of these lenses and still don't have enough light to shoot is FX worth it. For my purposes, the "telephoto advantage" of a more pixel-dense DX sensor outweighs the higher ISO capability of FX.

The Nikon D7100 marks my return to SLR cameras after many years with either a cell phone or compact digital camera. I purchased it barely in time or a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Madagascar and had no time to familiarize myself with it. The camera turned out easy to use on the automatic setting, and by the middle of the trip I had learned enough on the go to get some great shots of lemurs with some manual settings. The camera handled the sometimes rough trip very well. As other reviewers had noted, in dark conditions the camera at times had a slight delay, but compared to my small digital camera that delay is negligible. In addition, I was able to take some amazing landscape photos in the non-flash setting, despite the low lighting conditions. I can't wait to really learn about my camera now that I'm back from my trip.

I will have to admit to Amazon, I did NOT purchase this camera body through you. It was out of stock and my local camera shop had it, so... I have been learning and using it for about two weeks now and the controls are getting 'friendly' with me.Meaning: read the manual cover to cover with the camera in your lap. Preform the function as you read it in the manual, to get some sort of 'muscle-memory'. After a very short learning curve, the camera controls become intuitive. I have fairly large hands and this body fits like it was made for me. The weight/balance is perfect, as well.Growing into all this camera can accomplish will take years, no matter what the 'pros',(being a former film pro myself), say. I LOVE the DX format for some unknown reason, but that is fine with me ie; up-tick in magnification. Options, dynamics and versatility are just some of the 'pros' going for this body. I could go over the list of functions like some reviewers, but will leave you to do your own homework, if you are serious enough about purchasing the D7100. Yes, the price is up there, but you get: weather and dust seals, in body focusing motor, 1/8000 sec. shutter, larger LCD view screen along with Nikon's reputation, quality and service.Some are complaining the LCD view screen doesn't swing out, like the D5100/D5200. Don't want it, don't need it. I own the D5100 and I'm always afraid of breaking the screen off, so I keep it in the body all of the time, as it's rather 'spindly'. You'll want to purchase view screen protectors for the back and top LCD control screens. There were not any available when I bought it, so I purchased iPhone 4 protector screens. Cut one down for both screens. Very economical.If you want a camera body you can use and grow with for years & years to come...GET THIS ONE!

As a beginner when it comes to photography, I just wasn't happy with my Nikon D40. Sure, it was great starter one, but I felt it didn't have all the bells and whistles a camera should have. The Nikon D7100 is PERFECT. I'm still learning to use it, but even just messing around, the shots are great and family can't seem to stop commenting how sharp and nice the pictures look. Definitely a good investment.

Bought it to replace my many generations old D2X. Lighter with double the pixels and a way better focusing pattern with many times more focusing sensors. Lost lots of action shots with old camera but this one is light years better. Does a good job doing videos too, only take one camera on hikes and can do both video and stills. Can reuse all my DX lenses too.

Upgrading from a D7000 that I used for both stills and video, this body provided a lot of incremental fixes and improvements that have made life easier. Still quality is great, though not as much of an improvement over the D7000 as one might think... yes, pixel count is higher and the lack of an anti-aliasing filter does make the images strikingly crisp, but it may also be a tiny bit noisier at high ISO in low light (compared to the D7000). Nikon added a few video modes (like 1920x1080 30fps, as well as 60fps modes) but dropped 1280x720 30fps. Video overall is far easier to use... there are now record level meters visible on the LCD and you can adjust levels as you're recording. HDMI output resolution is adjustable, which has made the response time a little faster with the LILLIPUT 665GL-70NP/HO/Y/P field monitor when starting up or switching from record to playback... those delays haven't gone away completely but it's not as bad as it was with the D7000. There are a lot of other nice improvements, mostly small ones, which I won't get into here. I'd say that if this is a first camera or an upgrade from a cheaper body, you should definitely go for it... if it's an upgrade from the D7000 then you probably will want to weigh things more carefully... for me, the improvements were well worth it.

Originally I read all the positive reviews and thought this is a great camera. So I hurried and went to my local Costco and bought two D7100 cameras. One for myself the other for my brother. After we shot about 200 for his camera and 400 on my camera, we start noticing dusts on the sensor with F22 aperture on a clear sky. The dusts were translucent and appeared in formation on both cameras. So I tried to use the built-in sensor cleaning function and gotten no where. So I enabled the sensor cleaning mode and tried to blow the dust away with a camera blower and those dots remained for both cameras and still in a formation of about 10 to 12 dots. So I did more research online and there is quite a few people has the same issues just like the Nikon D600 was.. so the end I had to return both cameras back to Costco for refund. I was going to send in to Nikon for repair, but most people said the oil spots will return as the oil based lubricant will continue to splatter as you take more shots.So for those people haven't bought the camera yet, be warned about the oil on sensor issue. For those already purchased the camera, I would suggest you take a shot of the clear sky with Manual focus and F22 aperture. If you have Adobe photoshop you can also load the picture up and use auto contrast to see the oil spots more easily.

I am very pleased with my Nikon D7100 purchase. This item replaces my D7000 camera, which was stolen. I find the camera easy to use and takes great shots of my kids while playing sports. I have been a long time Nikon fan and would recommend this camera.

I'll admit I'm not a professional photographer, though I do take pictures for a community newspaper, so my pictures need to be fairly decent.When I purchased the 7100, I was going from a Nikon D50, so I can't compare the 7100 to a 7000. But compared to the D50, it's wonderful! The D50 I had constantly got dust on the sensor, even though I rarely changed lenses, and I had to clean it (scary!) several times. This one seems a lot more solid and doesn't have that problem. But what I love most is it takes great pictures in low-light situations. With the D50 I used an external flash, and, not being professional, I wound up with washed out pictures (until I learned to filter and control the flash a bit). This one is so great in low-light, I haven't had to use the external flash at all.I love love love that the ISO settings go up so high, which helps a lot in low light.Overall, this was a little pricier than I wanted to pay, but I am very pleased I spent the money.

I can't say enough good things about this camera, takes lovely shots, gives you the freedom to use the camera as designed and not a flaw that I can find. I love my Nikon D7100 and would do this purchase all over again.

Different cameras obviously but coming from the D90 to the D7100 proved to be such a significant improvement in many ways I felt compelled to add a 5 star for Nikon. I'm not going to write a long review because many have said what I know and feel about this camera so I'll save you the redundancy. I will say that I don't agree that this is not for the newbie to photography. If you have the money and you really want to invest some time learning the art I think this is probably the best choice. Excellent build quality, ISO performance, shutter speed, sharpness with the filter less sensor etc. Some of what turns many new photographers off is the inability to take great photos and camera with the capability of the 7100 helps a great deal. I will also say that lenses are the other half of the equation if not more than the body and I can also tell you that my 18-200 VRII and few other lenses never took images as good as on the D90 as on the D7100. So, I'm starting to ramble and I'll cut myself off here. I suggest thinking about what you really want to accomplish and what your budget is and if the 7100 fits then go for it.NOTE: Photo's do not show well on the Amazon site, actual images are much better. They must be compressed to save space. Also note that I made a mistake on one photo I listed the lens used as 18-200VRll and it is actually the 70-300VRll

I originally had a Nikon D200the body is smaller than the D200 but it still fits well in my handvery easy to use, and its ergonomicI did do alot of research before buying this camera and it fit my life style well.

I'm not going to go into a long review on this model- the D7100. I have been taking pictures for over 50 years, and I will just say, for the price I paid, this is 1 of the finest Nikon's yet. Coming from my past, including D50, D90, D7000, the D7100 has made great improvements, and I have NO ISSUES with the D7100. Maybe some of these other guys who have given scathing reviews have gotten an off copy, or maybe it is simply a case of inability to know how to use the camera properly, who knows? Regardless, if you are looking for a SUPERIOR camera in the $1200 range, THIS IS IT! Buy it, most importantly, READ THE MANUAL, use a fast, highly-rated memory card, a high-quality lens, and don't look back! Everything about the D7100 screams quality- from the build quality, features, resolution, and most importantly, TACK-SHARP photo quality. I could go on an on about the D 7100, but it is best to just remark about what an awesome buy it is now for the $. All the others(manufacturers) are now playing catch-up with this Nikon release- Yes, others may say it can use this feature, and that do-dad, but we all know that will come in less than 2 years or so. For now this is 1 of the finest values in a DSLR!And NO, I DO NOT work for Nikon-

Ok this is just a brief review i previously own the D7000 which i got a year ago and i love the camera and decided to get the new D7100 mostly because of the new 51 point AF system which is awesome by the way it focus faster even on low light situations. I've been testing both cameras and the quality of the pictures are just about the same the only difference i notice is the D7000 creates much more chromatic aberration the D7100 doesn't seem to have that problem so if you were looking to get better quality images from this new D7100 i doubt this is the camera for you but if you are looking forward to get excellent AF results this is the camera for you It pretty much inherit the AF system from Nikon's D4 and the D800 which is awesome also the camera feels better in the hand it's more comfortable then the D7000, I also recommend getting the MB-D15 battery grip for this camera cause it's a little more power hungry than the D7000.Also if you are the type of person who's not looking forward to learn how to fully use the camera on Manual mode save some bucks and just go for a D5200 or D3200 you will only get the most out of this camera if you learn how to use it on Manual just saying cause i've read many reviews with people complaining about it.

Great value for the money! Pictures are crystal clear and the quality of the product is beyond expectations!This package is worth every penny!

Item description clearly states that this camera will be shipped with a FREE camera bag and 32GB SDHC card. Neither were included in my shipment. Will return the camera on Monday when the shipping store opens.Direct quote from product description."Purchase this camera and receive a free 32 GB memory card and bag, and save hundreds on select Nikon lenses and speedlights. "Amazon replied within a couple of hours and compensated for the missing items with a refund. Now I can buy another SDNC card and bag with the refund. I will buy them from Amazon.The D7100 is a perfect upgrade from my D7000 and I am keeping it. BAck to being a happy Amazon customer.

It's really nice. Just the package is a little bigger. I really like this camera. It's easy for a green hand like me to use.

Since retireing, I've become once again interested in photography as a past time and a hobby and find the D7100 meets my needs. Compared to my older 35mm Canon SLRs, the D7100 is so much better, lighter and easier to handle. Images are sharp and beautiful.I've coupled this with Nikons grip for a vertical hold and additional battery. As well as several Nikon lenses. The 10-24mm wide. 35mm prime. 55-200mm tele.And an impulse purchase, the Nikon 85mm prime, just because it's a fine lens and I had to have it.At first, I bought some of the more expensive teles but soon realized I really wanted a lighter weight camera system and the 55-200 on the D7100 met my needs perfectly and was much less expensive. It's my feeling now that a good photo is more about my particular skill as a photographer and less about more expensive glass.The D7100 does require a learning curve, at least for me. But with this camera it really pays off. It's just a joy to use and grow my knowledge with as I try to improve my composition and framing of my shots.

So I am exposing it all right here! I am going to admit that I fall into the douchbag category as far as the professional photo world goes ;)But.... I became a pro overnight!I did the typical cheesy Dad thing. I know nothing about photography, I have no skill whatsoever in artistic vision, and I didn't even read the manual!I threw down an enormous amount of money and even had the camera shipped overnight. (all of $11 with amaz prime)I set the camera to auto - started clicking away - and.... Beautiful shots of my Daughter! In fact, The Best Ever!Honestly, I spent about $2500 on this camera and lens package + all of the garb. And I don't even know what they can do.Either way - Worth every cent!I am now enjoying beautiful pictures of my favorite subject, in a candid way. The quality of the photos by themselves are worthy of paying for, and the fact that it is natural and not staged is really the reason I threw down the cash in the first place.So well worth it !This one is a no-brainer. If you have the cash - the D7100 is the way to go.

Really nice product loved it :). would recommend it to any one who wants an semi-pro level camera. superb picture quality :)

I am a professional photographer. There were many considerations to take into mind when I made this purchase. Originally I truly wanted to purchase the D800. I opted for the 7100 due to budget issues. I had already purchased a nice piece of glass for this format so I decided to move forward with this purchase. I love my new camera. It's processor is awesome, the buttons and screen displays are awesome, and this is gonna sound super geeky but even the shutter sounds amazing. There are specs that every photographer must consider when purchasing a camera.I feel this camera is a great choice for anyone needing an upgrade. I love the two memory slots included as well. You can direct which files go to which memory card. I believe I made the right choice. Had I had more money to spend I would have purchased the D800 and a glass to complement it even more, yet with my budget in mind I could't be any happier with my purchase.

Comparing this camera to the D600, I have found that color rendition and sharpness are nearly identical. The D7100 is a little lighter (noticeably), and has some slight differences in the button arrangement on the back. For example, the D600 has a button dedicated to picture control (standard, vivid, etc.), while the D7100 has the "I" button (which takes an extra step to get to picture control). The D7100 has the very handy zoom feature on playback, which allows you to set the OK button to zoom into the focal point upon playback. I missed this feature on the D600 (which the D800 has too).So the sensor size does not seem to be a factor in color/sharpness, but it is definitely a factor in high ISO noise. A comparison at high ISOs shows a clear difference in the two cameras, with D600 looking much better. I see a very slight difference already at ISO 500.I didn't see any difference between the LCD screen quality indoors.The D7100 has some other nice advantages, like better focal coverage and higher flash sync speed, so it is difficult to decide which is the better camera. Sometimes the DX crop factor is useful (like for zooms), but other times the FX is useful (for wides, or if you don't want lenses like the great 85mm 1.8G to be to close).In short, two great cameras. The D600 is lacking some features, and the D7100 is lacking (compared to the D600) at high ISO. D7100 is a probably a better buy overall, but neither is the better camera for every user.

So, the exhaustively long reviews hit on all of Nikon's specs on this camera; I'd just like to comment on two features that were unexpected and greatly appreciated by yours, truly. First, when you set the camera to either A or S mode, you can go into custom functions and set the camera's other speed dial to adjust the ISO. This is a great feature because otherwise I've seen some folks lamenting the inability to more easily change the ISO. Brilliant! Second, when you are reviewing multiple photos and zooming in to the same region of each one to inspect one important detail, the camera will automatically zoom into that region of the photo on successive zooms. Very cool, and useful since the multi-toggle is a bit small and sensitive. Otherwise the only thing I will say about this camera, which in all other ways is quite a worthy tool, is that the weather-sealing is definitely NOT as good as on the D300. No way would I trust this in a storm, and my D300 weathered many. 4.5 stars, but I'm rounding down for Nikon's false assurance about the weather-sealing.

This is best DX camera out there. I upgraded from D90 and is a huge step up. I am not going to do a technical review as dpreview.com does a very good job. My primary lens is Nikon 17-55 2.8 and I can clearly make out the difference in pictures between D90 and D7100.I love the 'i' button because the settings can be changed using this button without going into the menus. If you are used to the menus in D90 it will take time to get used to the D7100 menus (they are rearranged).The grip and feel are solid. I miss the monitor cover so I bought Zagg screen protector and it works well.Even at 6400 ISO the pictures look great.Bottom line, if you are looking to upgrade from D90 this is the perfect camera. One word of advice skip the "WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter" which is not worth the money (see my review of WU-1a).

If you use the D7000 today, the D7100 is a very worthwhile upgrade to the D7000. You can take better pictures with the D7100 and it is much easier to control in the field. There are so many added little chances that just make the use of this camera a wonderful experience. One example is using the bracket function: Now you can to a 5 shot bracket exposure and you will see just what you are doing by the little count indicator you will see in live view on the monitor, no longer remembering what shot am I on now. You can also shot a 3 frame bracket shot if you want also. The DOF is also much easy to use than on the D7000. The D7100 is just a better camera and much easier to use, keep the D7000 as the back up camera. Given these two camera you are ready to take on the journey of taking much better picture, where ever to want to shot. I strongly recommend the purchase of this camera to anyone that wants to improve their pictures and the experience of taking pictures.

Currently using a Nikon D90. Just received my D7100 two days ago. The quibbles - files are so large when using maximum quality (RAW + JPEG) that it takes a long time to write from the card to the computer. Copying, editing, moving, even uploading files from camera using View NX2 or Nikon Transfer has become a long process even using Class 10 and SDXC cards.Now the other side. I thought I got really good pictures from the D90. The pictures from the D7100 are GREAT. The technology of removing the filter from the sensor not only makes the picture incredibly sharp, I have not had any issues with the moire all the reviews warn about as a possibility. In short the D7100 is a whole new world of photography. Setting up all of the defaults to your individual specifications and designating control functions to specific buttons takes a bit of time initially, but the results make it a great investment of time.Still getting accustomed to the all of the possibilities the camera provides. Combined with the new Nikkor 18-300 lens it is a relatively heavy assembly. Again, worth it in every respect. Nikon can rightly claim this as a flagship DX until they top it with something else in the future.Can't speak for professionals and really advanced enthusiasts, but for the rest of us. WOW !!!

After reading the reviews here, I decided to take the plunge and upgrade to the D7100. I am certainly glad I did. As many have previously commented, the pictures are tack sharp. The color renditions are very accurate, also. I would say to anyone still considering this camera just buy it. You will not regret it at all. Just be sure you take the time to setup the camera the way you prefer it before you rush out and start taking pictures. I upgraded from the D7000, which is a great camera in its own right. This one blows it away in all aspects from low light shots to portraits or landscapes and everything in between. It is a little bit lighter than the D7000 and it feels great in my hands. I have not used the video yet so I can't comment on that part. The 1.3x crop is more useful than I expected. It is wonderful for sports shots for the extra length it provides on your lenses. That means my 18-200mm lens is about equal to 390mm when zooming in. Again, the pictures in this mode are very good and this is where you can get 7 shots in burst mode. I noticed no lag time in the shots I took testing this feature, although I did only take about 40 shots while testing it out. Again, all I can say is "WoW!"

I'm not a professional. I moved up from D-70 to D90 to D-7100.I like the performance of the 7100. It produces wonderful images beyond my expectations in low light. BUT, On page 75 of the user manual, there is a call-out at the bottom that contains the following sentence: "The focus point for AF is selected automatically; manual focus selection is NOT available." This really bugs me. I like being able to manually adjust the focus point to get a light reading on the highlights to keep from blowing them out. The auto selection of focus point keeps jumping all around with each half-way press of the shutter button. So I'm left with having to move to the manual switch, take a light reading from a single point, set my exposure and then switch back to automatic and compose the shot. It's a bit of a drag and yesterday, I found myself taking my trusty D90 along and leaving the 7100 behind. Perhaps there is a better way, but right now, being new to the camera, I have not discovered it and find it a bit frustrating - hence the 4 stars. Were it not for the magnificent images it produces at 24mp, I would have given it a 3.

Bought myself one for Christmas, upgrading from a D5100. I love everything about it, with the exception of the limited buffer size, which effectively precludes shooting RAW continuously for more than about a second at a time before the buffer fills up and you wind up waiting for the card to catch up. That's the only thing that prevents me giving it a 5-star rating.

Upgraded from a stolen D5100, which I liked a lot.I love this camera and would have gave it 5 stars but after a few shots some spots appeared on my photos. I thought it was oil because I tried several times the cleaning function and nada. Then I bought and used a rocket air blaster and the spots disappeared, so finally it was dust and not oil.

I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of my D7100, hopeful that it would be OK without any of the focus or other issues etc. that the D7000 had and so far I am blown away. I have spent the last several days putting it through the paces and it has exceeded my expectations. The handling and ergonomics are superb. The pictures are sharp and the color excellent. It is solid, fits my hand well and the controls are intuitive and well laid out.The focus is right on, exposure is accurate, I still use exposure compensation but that's more a personnel preference in how I want my pictures to look. This camera has all the tools that any serious photographer needs and then some. If you have a passion for photography and want control of all aspects of your photography then this is the camera for you. If you are more of a point & shoot person then the D3200 or D5200 might serve you better. They both take super pictures. This is the last DSLR I will buy, as I am 70 years old, and I expect this camera to meet all my needs for years to come. My only other camera purchase will be the Fujifilm x100s for when I don't want the bulk or weight of a DSLR.

but the camera weighs a lot. i returned it for a 3300 expecting it to be lighter and easy to take with me.

I had the Nikon d600 before, but there are issues with it and they put out a new version. The d610. So to save myself some money i went back to a crop sensor camera, the D7100 and i could not be happier. I cannot really tell a difference in quality from the d600 to the d7100. Bravo Nikon, your camera is great. However, your service sucks. Amazon on the other hand rocks.

"Purchase this camera and receive a free 32 GB memory card and bag, and save hundreds on select Nikon lenses and speedlights. "I bought on Black Friday,the website showed as top,but now I just received the SLR camera,there was no SD card and case. I want to know when I can get these two things ??

TAKES GREAT PICTURES A LOT BETTER THAN MY D 90. SUPER SHARP PICTURES. I AM NOT HAPPY IF I CAN NOT SEE THE HAIR ON A BUG. USE A SanDisk Extreme Pro 32 GB SDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Flash Memory Card 95MB/s WITH IT & BURST MODE WILL SHOOT ALL DAY SHOOTING FINE JPEG. NOT TO GREAT FOR VIDEO BECAUSE THE APERTURE WILL NOT CHANGE IN VIDEO MODE.

I love it. We're finally upgrading from our beloved, rock solid D70s that's been around the world with us and shot tens of thousands of photos. The new D7100 is a great replacement. Photo quality & color, camera speed, you name it. I've been shooting macro, landscape, and portrait with my new D7100 (using all my old lenses from the D70s) and have not been disappointed. If you've been hemming and hawing about upgrading an aging consumer or prosumer Nikon camera, now is a great time to do so!I'm currently using two Transcend 32GB class 10 memory cards and have not noticed any slowness shooting photos (RAW+JPEG) or 1080 video.Pros:- I'm coming from a D70s, so I like most everything about this camera.- All the extra options. I like options. The D7100 is an improved version of my old camera, plus video, plus wifi (optional add-on), plus dual memory cards, etc etc.Cons:- The only con I've come up with so far is sound of the lens auto-focusing during video recordings. It's definitely noticeable on the playback! I have not tried the microphone accessory yet though.

I've only had my D7100 for a day but my family would argue I haven't put it down since I brought it home. All technical stuff aside, this camera takes incredible pictures. I spent the afternoon experimenting with several DX lenses and the results were just fantastic. About an hour before sunset the moon was up in the eastern sky so I slapped on my telephoto and took a shot. I wasn't expecting a lot but when I moved the picture over to my computer and zoomed in on the moon it looked like I took a picture with a telescope! The lunar landscape was incredibly clear. Beginner or seasoned veteran this camera is a fantastic choice.My first Nikon was a D70 which is still a fantastic camera. Recently a friend upgraded from a D3100 to a D600 so he cut me a deal on the D3100 which I really enjoyed playing with. The 3100 is a great starter camera for those looking to ease there way in to the DSLR world. But having used the D70 for years it felt a bit too light and small for my taste. If you are hanging on to your D70 or D90 go ahead, make the leap. The D7100 is a fantastic successor to my D70.

i got this camera about a month ago from amazon. photography has become a main hobby of mine that started about 10 years ago. i've been through at least 8 cameras in these years, with the last 4 being dslr's. i absolutely love this camera. it has excellent low light capabilities and very fast. i have 5 nikkor lenses,(2 prime), and a tokina lens. this camera takes absolutely gorgeous pictures. the BEST cropped sensor dslr money can buy! $1200 for just the body may seem too much, but it's worth every penny. get yourself some good glass(lens), and get pictures at pretty much the way your eye sees it in real life. you'll feel like a pro just holding it. the video on this camera is bar none, the best on any dslr i came across. HD at it's finest. arm yourself with two 32G extreme sd cards and let the fun begin. Aloha.

After several months of saving I upgraded from the Nikon D3100 to the D7100. I am a photography student and knew I needed to upgrade sooner or later. I wanted the abilities of a full frame, but couldn't quite afford it (D600, $2,000). I read Ken Rockwell's review, comparing the D600 and the D7100. The D600 obviously had advantages, but surprisingly the D7100 won. It had more focusing points and a better auto focusing system for only half the price. I got the D7100 as well as the 85 mm f/1.8 and I absolutely love this camera. It's sturdy, has weather proof sealing, two SD card slots, bracketing, and an improved auto focusing system from the D7000. This camera is said to be, by several online reviews, better than the praised Cannon 60D. This is an amazing buy and for $1200 it's a bargain!!See samples at emilyturnerphoto.com

Great camera. 1st purchased copy of D7001 had 5 oil spot (not dust) visible at f/16, f/22. Unable to clear with rocket blower and built in cleaner option. Returned. Amazon kind enough to send me a replacement. Replacement now has left focus issue like D800. Not as tack sharp at 100% enlargement as center, upper, lower, right focus points. Others have reported similar issue. Good news is that good copies exist without these problems.I used my 24-70 mm Nikon, f/2.8 lens using high contract focus chart on tripod wide open to test focusing. Amazon is great, but poor quality control from Nikon. I was hoping this camera would be different from known oil on sensor problem of D600. Furthermore, JPEG images more grainy than D7000. But focus system improved. Not a real issue since RAW images can be improved with PP with Lightroom 4.4. Hoping next replacement copy will have no oil spots, L focus problems. Crossing my fingers.

Upgraded from D90 which I will still keep because it was my baby. The D7100 is a beast. FX is not for me since I like telephotos and macro. Already tried my Sigma 150-500mm OS HSM and....man....the images rock in detail as compared to the D90. The removal of the low-pass filter definitely makes a noticeable improvement, contrary to what others have said. Also tried it with the Nikon 70-200 VR and pictures are just beautiful and sharp, great color and very low noise at higher ISO (up to 1600). When I need wide-angle I still feel OK with my Sigma 10-20, I think this lens gives you colors off the camera that most times make you not want to do anything in post-production. With the primes 35mm, 50mm and 85mm results were also superb. Decided to postpone the idea of FX, quite honestly do not think I will ever purchase one, in my opinion it is less useful for most consumer or enthusiast needs.

One reason I love this camera is the weight of it. I have owned cameras of this quality but the weight was more than I liked. Picture quality is excellent and easy to use. Has many choices built right in. The flash in most cases will be just fine for most pictures.
