Back in 1997 I began with the Nikon Coolpix 900 followed by the Nikon 4500 (which I still have and love).In 2005 I got my first Nikon DSLR the D70 followed by a D90, D200, D7000, D7100 and currently the D600.All have been wonderful cameras but I am now seriously considering downgrading back to the D7100.I shoot lots of photos of all kinds of subjects, just for the joy of it!The D7100 with it's APS-C sensor gets the 1.5x crop factor boost on my lenses ...They start with the 10-24 DX Nikon followed by the 24-85 VR Nikon, the 70-300 VR Nikon and 50mm f/1.8D lenses.That crop factor boost turns my 70-300 into a quite effective 105-450 lens which I really miss with my FX full frame D600.BTW Both my D600 and the D7100 produce amazing 24 megapixel images!But getting a lens for my full frame D600 that equals the quality I get with the 70-300 VR Nikon lens on my D7100 at the equivalent of 450mm is a real problem!Not only are those lenses expensive but they also are big and very heavy and I like to handhold when I'm shooting fast moving birds.I've tried cropping the images from the D600 but the image quality after the cropping suffers.The D600 also has a "DX crop mode" but that only produces images that are 10.5 megapixels and these suffer even more when printed big.The D7100 had a very useful feature they called the "4/3rds Crop" which turns on a frame line inside of the optical viewfinder showing the cropped area and the images it produces are 15 megapixels with an even, 2x lens crop factor which for shooting smaller birds was perfect ... turning my 70-300 effectively into a 140-600 mm equivalent lens and the 15 megapixel images print wonderfully, showing every feather crystal clear, even in large 13" x 19" prints!My only quandary is that the low light performance of the much larger pixel sites on the FX full frame sensor on my D600 is unbelievably great! And, other than when shooting birds, the images I get with the D600 make beautiful large prints, too!My suggestion is that you carefully consider what your photographic subjects are and let that be your guide as to which camera you buy. Good luck!

I decided to replace my 6-year-old D300 with the D7100 after comparing images and reviews for the D300, D7100, and D610. The price, focal point coverage across the sensor, number of focal points, and size and weight of the D610 were always on my negatives list.I'm not a fan of megapixel wars, and would give up pixels for better noise performance or better over-all image quality. Comparing high and normal ISO images, I could see the D7100 beat my D300 and came very close to the D610. I tested actual raw/NEF images from each camera and found that the D7100 images cleaned up very nicely with my current work flow (I'm now using Adobe Creative Cloud). So, image quality to me was better than what I currently had and very close to the more expensive D610.The inclusion of the 18-140 lens for a fraction of it's typical $600 was very pleasing. I used the Nikon 18-135 as my general use lens and loved it, this version with VR is promising to be even better. The only downside I saw was the FramesPerSecond that couldn't keep up with my old D300 when used with my battery grip.In general, the machine-gun approach isn't practical for me for more than a second anyway. But it is handy. Believe it or not, one trick I used to set people at ease is to shout out "Work with me!" and blast out rapid shots. They realizing I'm having fun with them, smile, and I get that one good candid shot.I decided that I like the 1.3x crop feature for the speed benefits and shooting 7fps in JPG cropped mode will probably do me well enough.I doubt I will ever use the scenes, effects, or even video, because it's just not what I do. But, it takes great images and I have used ISO upto 6400 without problems (in my D300 I would never go above 3200). Combined with the 18-140, I am very pleased and expect many years of service from the camera.UPDATE:I wanted to add one note regarding the Frames Per Second burst rate: I had a Sony 40ms 16G SDHC card, a SanDisk Extreme 16G card, and purchased a SanDisk Extreme Pro 32G. I did a test to see how many RAW/NEF images I could shoot in 5 seconds (that seemed like more than my typical burst length). Each card shot about 6FPS until the buffer filled up, then you could hear the lag as the buffer was written. In the end, the Sony averaged 12 shots in 5 seconds, the SanDisk Extreme averaged 17, and the SanDisk Extreme Pro averaged 25 shots. Getting about 5fps on average works fine for me. So with a really fast ExtemePro card I can see a difference and I'm pleased. That negates my last negative concern about this camera.

Background:I have been shooting Nikon and Other Brands DSLRS for Several Years.I own several Prime and Zoom Lens of both High End and Lower End, and I never leave my home without a camera in my hand. Now that we have established that I know how to use a Camera we can move on.Since I was looking to upgrade from a D7000 to a D7100, this will be mainly D7000 VS D7100. I won't get into comparing them with the D600 FX.Having a D7000 I have been a big fan of Nikon for years and I was looking forward having a D7100. I spent about 2 weeks looking at reviews all over the internet, comparing, and comparing, until I decided to finally purchase the D7100.Out of the BoxFirst thing I noticed was that it feels of cheaper build than the D7000, and that the shutter release also didn't feel or sounded as smooth as I had hoped. I just didn't get the feeling that I was using a better version of my D7000.Also there were Oil Marks on the camera out of the box. :( (If you are not comfortable doing wet cleaning, this might be a big issue for you)Shooting /Image Quality I had to shoot JPG for two main reasons, 1) No RAW support at the time 2) In-Camera HDR only works with JPG.Out of the box photos taken with the D7100 look sharper but also grainer in comparison with the D7000 Even at Low ISOs. YES even at Low ISO. (I didn't want to believe this, since I really wanted to like the D7100)I liked the HDR feature, since I could have an OK HDR picture in seconds to share it on the Internet. However, I wanted to get natural looking pictures, but I usually ended up with pictures looking like a Beginner's Photoshop Homework, but I really hope this was just me, since I want this feature to work properly on this or future Nikon cameras.Focusing/PointsThe 51 Focusing points were very nice to use, especially at the 1.5 X Cropped modes, but nothing really worth the update from a D7000. (This doesn't give your lens extra reach precisely, it just means the picture is cropped, allowing you to use only the juicy part of your lens and to shoot faster)I must say that I did not get any back or front focusing, but also didn't get that great improvement that I was hoping for in the D7100, in fact a few times while shooting, the camera wouldn't focus fast enough.Pros D710051 Focusing PointsIn-Camera HDRMore Mega PixelsSharper ImagesCons D7100Grainer PhotosBuild Quality could be an Issue. (Oil Marks, Cheaper Feel, etc.)(I hope I just had a Bad Apple)ConclusionI will probably be repeating what I have read many times before, but I had to experience it myself first hand to really get it.If you have a D7000, you already have a great camera, use the money to get better lens, probably even go FX. (I hate to say this since I really wanted to keep the D7100)If you are coming from anything lower than a D7000 and you have the extra few dollars to burn, the D7100 is a good option, although probably getting the D7000 and maybe a 50mm 1.8G and/or a 35mm 1.8G would be a better choice.Note:I have returned my D7100, and decided to wait for maybe a newer version of the D600 FX.I believe that if you are looking for something above the d7000 you will have to go Full Frame to really see a huge difference on your everyday shooting.

Nikon has finally done it! I tried the D7000 and made numerous comparisons with other camera brands, but for the money and name, you can't go wrong with the D7100. The added "reach" of the additional crop factor (1:3), and the huge new (3.2 in.) display screen give this entry an extra boost above the competition. Added to this the 14 bit RAW file at 24.1 MP and you've got a winner for DX shooting that really deserves to be called "Nikon's DX Flagship" in this format; a post-processing Lightroom dream to work with.Right out of the box, Nikon presents itself with distinction; this thing exudes quality and comfort. Factory defaults were right on and presented great pictures instantly. The fast 51 point auto-focusing system with the 15 cross-types really do the job and I was amazed at the speed, even when using a slow and heavy Nikkor 55-300mm lens- see flower shots in customer images.I have been waiting for this model even before it was announced; almost three years now and I'm not disappointed. It would seem that the earlier problems with front/back focusing in some D7000's have been addressed and corrected with this one, as I see very few problems of this sort. I find it amusing that some users forget to adjust the diopter in the viewfinder to their own specific eye needs; each person is slightly different. That should be emphasized in the opening instructions in capital and bold letters, so that everyone gets it "right." Without that, manual focusing will be to all practical purposes impossible.When you get your new camera delivered, there are some important steps to take to insure everything goes the way it should.Carefully unpack your shipment box, taking care to hang onto the original packaging materials in case you are returning it.Charge battery to full charge. Don't fall for the temptation to fiddle with the settings on the camera with a partially charged battery.CHECK VIEWFINDER DIOPTER with lens attached to correct for your shooting eye. Then double check its accuracy.When SD cards are inserted, format them in the camera to acclimate them to the file system. Never format any camera card in your computer. In fact, when copying from card, don't cut and paste any image from the card, just copy and paste. Don't let the computer treat the card as an external hard drive and modify it, use importing software or simply copy and paste files into your picture directory.Start at factory (out-of the box) settings and take some shots. Remember any modifications can be undone by simple formatting the camera back to factory default by pressing and holding the two green buttons on the outside of the camera for two seconds.And lastly, remember that this is a virtual visual computer with a huge array of functions and capabilities that will take some time to understand and learn. Don't get frustrated if your pictures aren't what you would like. Take your time and ask questions. A great site on the web is The Ugly Hedgehog.comHave fun and enjoy this great hobby called photography.

I have only had this camera or a week now, but I have to put in a review because it is just that good!Nikon did an excellent job with this camera. I have shot about 500 pictures and different events over the last week and the image clarity and detail is superior to the D3100 and D5100 that I have had in the past. Outside photography is really easy with any camera, so I wanted to do a real comparison to indoor image quality with limited lighting so, I snapped on my 1.8G lens and went inside to shoot an event and I got outstanding results. The depth of color is amazing and the detail in the images were just amazing. Removing the low pass filter helps this camera excel in the low light environment excellent move on Nikon's part. The grain is smaller at identical ISO's compared to the D5100.The camera body is laid out well. They squared things off in comparison to the D5200 thats out now, and changed the LiveView switch over to a button which I like. Everything seems to be just in the right place for my hands. I don't have really large hands so it just works.I did get this camera with the kit lens, since it was immediately available versus the body alone. I must say that I'm impressed with the kit lens. it only goes down to 3.5G at 18mm which isn't bad but if you want to reach out and grab a shot at 105mm your aperture moves up to 5.5 which requires a shutter speed adjustment or ISO boost to get the shot. Fortunately adjustments in manual mode are quick and easy since you have 2 quick adjustment dials, and ISO adjustment is right there at your left finger. I didn't like that the default setting is to see the shot count on the viewfinder versus ISO, but its a quick change in the menu system to make the ISO your default display option.Another awesome feature that was added is the white balance adjustment. Now you can frame up your reference shot, shoot a gray card in that scene, select the gray card in live view and make the WB adjustment right there and save that as one of the presets for the shoot. No more batch editing in Lightroom. Totally awesome!!The only gripe I have on the camera right now, and its not on the camera itself is that Adobe Lightroom hasn't been updated yet to read the RAW files from this camera. I can read them in photoshop but thats a 1 by 1 process and I need to get them into Lightroom so I can do some batch processing. Knowing that shortcoming, I shot RAW+JPEG all week so I could still get them into LR and get the photos out to clients.If you are looking for an excellent camera for DSLR photography and don't want to make the plunge in FX format. This hands down is the best DX format camera on the market PERIOD. Don't look anywhere else.UPDATE: Used the camera to shoot some 1080P video. In manual mode you have full control over the ISO, fStop, and Shutter Speed. Having full control over your exposure for video is awesome. Haven't used a DSLR for video work before, but now I can see why its so popular. You have easier access and control over everything. Its even better than my pro HD camcorder that I own. Can't wait to get outside this spring and see the quality of video with lower ISO's. Had to shoot between 2000-4000 ISO to get good exposure at 4.5g inside with contrasting light and dark areas in the room I was shooting in.

Did I mention noise? With 40 years as a Nikon shooter with almost all their cameras (starting with Nikormats) and god know how many lenses, I know a little about photography. I was also a beta tester on the original Photoshop, I'm that old. So I bought this camera as a replacement for my D90 as my DX shooter for birds, with the 300af-s +1.4TC combo. I knew about the small buffer -(hey its REALLY friggin small and bites you just at the wrong moment, to the point you loose all chimping capability without a camera restart) but expected a big resolution upgrade. The fact is whatever marginally you gain in resolution the tradeoff is really bad noise in the shadows at any iso because the sensor Nikon had utilized for this camera is the same 24Mpix APS-C sensor as the D5200 and entry-level D3200 models. The pixel density is equivalent to that of a 56-Mpix full-frame 35mm camera!! Sounds great, right? Not so fast, they cram that many pixels be using the smallest possible "pitch" measured in microns.Let's compare cameras shall we?D700 - 8.45 microns, FX, 12MP - winner - look at the prices asked for USED copies!D4 - 7.3m, FX, 16MPD610 - 5.9m, FX, 24MPD800 - 4.88m, FX, 36MPD7000 - 4.78m, DX, 24MPD7100 - 3.9m, DX, 24MP ---- DOWNGRADE from the D7000D5200 - 3.9m, DX, 24MPD3200 - 3.84m, DX, 24MPAll pixels collect the same amount of noise, but larger pixels collect more of the "good" data than smaller pixels. With all else equal, a larger pixel will result in a higher quality image (less noise) than a smaller one. The pixels of the D7100 are so small my D200 produces better images that need less work in post-processing.People ooh and aah over the resolution of this camera, but after you run the image through your noise reduction program - which ads blur - you are throwing that extra resolution away. No complaints about build, focus are other factors, those are all to taste. Do yourself a favor and pick up a D700 or a D610 and compare the image to the D7100. Creamy goodness.

I never thought I could get this kind of performance with a DX crop sensored camera ! I shot with the D300s for 2years and was pleased how I learned to get more out of that camera than most people thought possible . I own many DX lenses and 2 FX lenses . I don't shoot video so this review may not be for you ? I was contemplating switching to a full frame body like a D700 or an D 800e. I knew it was going to be pricey if I did go full frame because of the glass I would have to buy to accompany the camera . I was getting ready to sell all my DX equipment on eBay when a friend recommend I shoot with his 7100 for an afternoon before I abandoned my superior collection of DX lenses ! Boy am I happy I took him up on that offer ! I was stunned at the quality of the photos I took with his D7100. The dynamic range and sharpness of the photos I took were absolutly fantastic ! I wasted no time ordering one of my own and since I received it I've been stunned at how big of a difference there is between my D300s and the D7100 ! I thought I could only achieve this kind of result with a full frame sensor . I'll never sell my DX set up now that I've achieved results like this. Sure I'll still buy a D800e down the road but I'm in no hurry now. I've been envious of friends who have full frame camera's because of the obvious difference in dynamic range and sharpness they were realizing compared to myself. Not anymore ! I realize all the practice I had getting the most out of my D300s made me a great photographer and my composition skills were actually better than most of my friends who own full frame camera's. With photoshop I can stitch together panoramic wide shots that blow away most anything I've seen ! The low light performance is great and the focus system on the D7100 is second to none ! With the price of FX lenses being so insanely over priced ,I'm thrilled I bought this wonderful DX camera ! I know I'll go to a car show and see people with their pro body camera's thinking they have the advantage when taking the same shots I am. But I'll be thinking I could have bought 3 or 4 more of my complete setups for what they paid for a full frame camera and a couple of lenses while achieving little to no better result than I get with my D7100. Don't anyone think that a crop sensor camera can't compete with a full frame sensor again. Thanks Nikon , you created a game changer !

4 months later (Update the review: 9/18/2013):1. Using best glass (Nikon 35-70 F2.8, Nikon 80-200 F2.8D), I see more improvement of this camera (compared to anything else). You really need a better glass to see the resolving power of this sensor.2. I would say, the combination of the new sensor (Toshiba) and the removal of Anti-aliasing Filter, make this beast a really good performer in terms of image quality.3. The 1.3 crop factor is really a handy nice to have feature, because I am now only use 3X F2.8 zoom lens (for the sake of maximum Image Quality). And it really helps when I need more reach/close up and don't bother to change lens.4. I noticed that the performance of AF sensor is much improved over D7000. I am getting more success ratio using the non cross type AF spot than I use to have with D7000 (For this reason, I only use the center AF spot and recompose technique in D7000 to avoid Focus error).5. The AF performance in low-light is also improved over D7000, not significantly, but enough to be noticed.6. With the 1.3 crop factor, my favorite portrait lens now is the old (but still very good) 35-70 mm F2.8 D. It even give much better result than the new 50mm F1.4 G.===========================Original Review start here:===========================I use D7000, and jump to D7100 when it is available, for one reason: Video Shooting! It has (that D7000 doesn't): Audio Meter, Headphone Jack, Stereo Mic, 50i/60i at full HD (1920X1080).But after use it for several weeks, this is additional things that I found useful:1. 1.3 crop. This is amazing feature that I use more and more often now. Especially when using my Nikon 50mm F.14G, and Tokina 11-16mm F2.8. I program the Image Area (1.3X 18Mp or DX 24mp), into Fn button, so I can switch them without leaving my eye from viewfinder. Why I need this? To make my 50mm lens become 65mm lens. Or making my 11-16mm become 14-20mm. Fantastic...! Now my Tokina 11-16mm becoming more 'portrait' friendly.2. Auto-focus. No surprise, the auto-focus is much better than D7000. It is more consistent, and little bit faster. And also perform slightly better in low light.3. 24Mpix. This is actually has a mixed result. On 24Mpix (DX Image Area, see point 1), it becomes noticeably slower (I always shoot RAW uncompressed + Jpeg Fine). On the other hand, at 18Mpix (1.3 Crop) it is snappier and comparable to D7000 in terms of speed/response.4. Image quality: I find it a little bit better than D7000, but not really impressing like jumping from D100 to D200, or D200 to D300, or D300 to D3S.The cons:At 24Mpix (DX mode), it becomes slower. And when I need to preview the Image, it take some times to response (not like D7000 which is snap). I don't have a chance to test it with fastest SD card (90MB/s). I only use SanDisk Extreme 45MB/s. Probably, when I use a 90MB/s SD card, and split NEF in slot 1 and JPG in slot 2, the response will be much faster.Conclusion:For me, it is a really worth the upgrade, but probably not applicable to any other person with different requirement.

This is my second DSLR. And this is a good second DSLR. Best purchase I've made in many many years. Almost everything I couldn't do (and wanted to do) with my old camera, I can with this one. And just about everything they both could do is easier on this one. It is quite a big step up from the entry level cameras of a few years ago.So while I love this camera there are a few downsides, But these don't matter enough to stop recommending this camera.Minor complaints...1. No aperture change in video live-view. I believe the newer, lower-end Nikon D5300 allows this. Disappointing they didn't add this feature to the D7100.2. Manual mode camera live-view exposure doesn't update with aperture/ISO/shutter speed changes. I think there is a workaround with the OK button, but this is a little annoying.3. Zoom buttons... coming from a camera where the main dial could be rotated to zoom in and out, using a button just seems awkward by comparison. This is an issue in photo playback only.4. ISO change. It seems awkward to press a button on the back and then use the screen at the top to see the ISO selected. Why couldn't they display the ISO on the screen that is on the same face as the button?My favorite features of the camera:1. Compatibility. There are seriously hundreds of lenses and other accessories around for it.2. Bracketing. With one button and a dial turn or two, I can turn bracketing on and off, or change the number of frames and the number of stops between them.3. Frames per second. When shooting movement, 7 FPS is a big deal.4. Auto focus performance. The focus points almost completely cover the frame. And it is so fast and accurate.5. Sharpness... the lack of AA filter really shows. and with 24MP, I'm loving the ability to crop generously after using a prime lens.I started with the Nikon 35mm f/1.8 and recently added a Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6. I think in the future I will buy 3rd party macro and a 3rd party wide angle lens. Tokina seems to be doing better for the money than Nikon is in those categories.I recommend this type of kit as opposed to buying this camera with a kit lens. This camera is so sharp, using a kit lens is like giving it a handicap.

If your moving up from point and shoots or even super entry level dslrs like the d3100 or d3200 or even the d5100 and d5200 then this is going to seem like Iron man to you. Im pretty new to photography so this is more a review for the newbs who really don't know all the high tech mumbo that the pro reviewers throw into their reviews. along with comparisons to cameras that are WAY beyond the average joe's budget (cough) D800e (cough) even D4(cough cough).Any way its has its own focus motor, so that means pretty much all Nikkor lenses or off brand nikon mount lenses will work with it (although some of the cheaper off brand stuff will have odd but not problematic glitches from time to time, again not a big deal unless you shoot for money and need things done right or else).The buttons give you quick and easy access to the more advanced features we have been getting used to in the beginner dslrs like the d3100 but without going through a menu just to change them. Its friggin awesome. If you need a camera to encourage you to push your photography to new heights, this is it.Build quality is the best I have owned so far. again Im the average guy so im not gonna compare this to a 5000 dollar camera and say the build quality could be better than it is because thats stupid. When I held it for the first time my first thought was "whoa....I could beat someone over the head with this until they die....and it would still work!" This feels like as solid as a brick with about a 3rd of the weight. better start hitting the gym though if you're used to carrying a point and shoot around all day and taking pictures. this is not your parents vacation camera... as much as I think it should be, and wish it was.anyway Amazing camera I looooooove it, and its really pushing me to do something with my photography.Its like i know the equipment doesnt REALLY matter when it comes to good pictures but you know that feeling when you show someone (who expects you to be professional) an entry level DSLR and they look at you like you're covered in dog piss? yeah I dont like that so i want to have the confidence to show my pictures AND my equipment and get at least a little respect for it.

Goods and bads. You've got enough of the goods, so let me tell you what you need to know that others won't tell you. This camera needs some serous programming upgrades. It's all in the firmware, and Nikon claims they listen, so we'll see. The problems, again, are not with the camera, but you've got to wonder if the lads in Japan ever actually use these things. For instance, custom settings is a good idea, until you find out that much of the setting up does not have anything to do with the actual mechanics of shooting. Big problem? They offer a remote release (an absolutely essential item) but every time the camera is turned off, for any reason (like removing the memory card for a download and view on a monitor), you must completely set up the remote release function again. And again, and again, and again. So if you are a studio guy (we are), you'll wear out the menu buttons setting this thing up every time you shoot! Oh, you can get a cabled release, but what studio (or other ) photographer likes the wires hanging off the camera and interfering with the pod? And remote controls? Try starting at over $600, and you've got to have two of them to talk to each other! Talk about gouging...There are many things you don't have control of in the custom settings; so many things that we just shoot with aperture control.It's a good camera, and works well with Nikon lenses, but just needs some serious firmware upgrades. Hey, Nikon, how about variable firmware upgrades for photogs that aren't outside shooting kids running around a soccer field?Do some research before you buy, and hope that firmware upgrades are on the way.

The packaging that this order of the Nikon D7100 camera body, plus the Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S VR Nikkor Zoom Lens, was truly abysmal.As soon as I lifted the large box that was delivered to my door, it was obvious to feel smaller boxes moving around inside quite loosely, and able to be easily knocked around in transit.Even as I just held the large exterior shipping carton slightly at an angle, the inner boxes could be felt sliding around and into each other.The box was marked with correct side up arrows, but was delivered upside down by UPS Ground.The box itself looked rather flimsy, with the cardboard not being thick and sturdy considering the precision optical instrument purchases inside, but thin and worn looking.The corners and areas closer to the corners of this outside shipping carton all showed mild signs of pressure or impact inflicted.On opening the box I was startled to see that the two boxes containing the camera, and the lens, only occupied about half the interior space of the shipping carton.The unfilled space had been very partially stuffed with two plastic wraps that have large air pockets. These wraps only occupied about less than half the empty carton space, and were mainly arranged at the top of the items, leaving a great deal of space for the two inside boxes to slide around very freely.Also about half the plastic air pockets were deflated, providing even less protection.Clearly the two inside boxes had slid around significantly, as each showed a very obvious dent on a corner of each box.I have not yet used the camera and lens, but am very concerned that at the very least, optimum optical tolerances have been compromised, and that focus and longevity may be compromised as well.I am most concerned that Amazon would see fit to utilize such inferior packaging , especially for optical equipment.I am interested to see if any response from Amazon is forthcoming.It certainly makes a case for purchasing from a local vendor, where even if prices may be higher, you can see the quality of the unopened boxes in advance.

I needed a DX format body for my aerial photography work. I shoot a lot of telephoto, and for my specific purposes, an FX body would have been wasteful. I believe in the theory "the right tool for the right job." Well this camera body fills the bill, precisely. I f***ing love this thing. I shoot from a plane that is often getting rocked by Florida turbulence. Being bounced around the cockpit like a fat kid in an inflatable bouncy castle, I required a camera with a formidable internal vibration control. This thing works like a f***ing charm. It's fast as s*** too; 6 frames per second f***ing fast! In between my projectile vomiting, I can capture a crystal clear, ice-crisp image of that commercial terra-cotta roof that I'm shooting. The camera is bulky in a good way. It doesn't feel like a Coolpix point and shoot; rather, it feels like a well built body, hardened by combat. It's not too big, and feels just right. I feel like a boss when I use it. A boss that laughs at your Canon 5D or Nikon 3100!It's got 2 SD slots! Dual SD-cards mean that I can shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot... and never need another SD card. 2 64GB SD cards loaded? This might indicate why I have a mild drinking problem. Have you ever sat through post processing on 3,479 f***ing photos??? I'm sure you have, yes, and that's why you're here, reading this review. Well 90% of those 3,479 photos were awesome, thanks to a camera that makes quality picture taking child's play. You can train a monkey to capture brilliant photos using the D7100.

I would recommend this camera for any level of photographer. Easy enough for a beginner with the two auto modes (flash or no flash), plus 18 scene modes. More than enough camera to make a hobbyist or amateur happy with lots of bells and whistles for some creative photography. This would even make a good backup camera for a professional photographer.For people like me who just do this for fun and shoot JPEG, there is a lot of retouching that can be done in the retouch menu such as trim, color balance, resize, straighten. You can also adjust sharpening, contrast, brightness, and saturation in the camera under Picture Control on the Shooting Menu. Good for people that don't have post processing software like Lightroom or Photoshop. At the time of this review Lightroom and Photoshop are unable to import RAW NEF files. If you want to work on these files you have to install the View NX software that comes with the camera. Then you can import into that program and save as a TIF file. You can then import TIF files into Lightroom or Photoshop. Hopefully Adobe will release an upgrade soon to offer support for the Nikon D7100.I mostly take snapshots of my dogs or when traveling to post on Facebook so retouching in the camera is what works for me. I purchased the WU-1a wireless mobile adapter to streamline getting the pictures from my camera to Facebook. It wirelessly transfers pictures from the camera to my smartphone or tablet. Once the pictures are on the smartphone or tablet they can be uploaded to Facebook or emailed etc. Super easy way to get pictures from the camera to your cell phone or tablet.I like that it uses SD cards (my previous camera used CF cards) and there are 2 slots for 2 cards. There are 3 different options on how to use the 2 cards. 1) first card for RAW and second for JPEG, 2) second card is used as a duplicate of the first, 3) second card is used for overflow if the first card gets filled up. My laptop has a built-in SD card reader so I don't have to use an external USB card reader to transfer my pictures.Several people have mentioned how the camera searches for focus. I had this same problem and figured out how to change the setting so that didn't happen. Look for the little switch on the front of the camera to switch from AF / M. Leave it on AF, push the button on the switch then turn the command dial to AF-S and then turn the sub-command dial to S. When it's in Auto is when it constantly hunts for focus.The main reason I upgraded to this camera is because the technology is 6 years newer than my old camera and I wanted more megapixels, sharper pictures, better color and less noise. This camera delivers on all counts.I love this camera and can't wait to learn what all its capable of. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because no camera is perfect for all things. I do wish this one had built-in wi-fi and that HDR mode worked in RAW too and not just JPEG.

I had the Nikon D 7000 before and loved that camera with all my heart. It was a loyal friend and companion for thousands of pictures, some were mentioned by the editors of National Geographic on their website, others won prizes in a photo magazine. So you see, it performed well and helped me show my creativity.The D 7000 was a superb camera but has a bigger brother now, the D 7100. The difference is huge in sheer sharpness, clarity and brightness. I was lucky enough to test the 7100 out at the same location, same month, same event and at the same light conditions two years apart. The difference is in quality ( sharpness, light sensitivity and brightness) is truly astounding!Whoever comes from the 7000 will have a very easy time adjusting. Some of the buttons are at different locations, one has to get used to that but one will eventually.The only two things I don't understand is why Nikon made the front dial on the right side slimmer than on the D7000. The dial on the 7000 stuck out a touch wider and had a better feel to it.And last I have to say there is one thing I think is a bad design on both cameras. I already was bothered by it on the 7000 and can not believe they didn't fix this design flaw with the newer model... it used to happen ALL the time that after I put my camera back in the photo bag, the little compartment in which the memory sticks are slipped open by itself.This should not happen and should be double secured. To make sure this does not happen without me noticing it, I put black tennis (grip) tape over it. It would be a shame to loose memory sticks because of this.But except for this, this is an absolutely brilliant camera for the advanced photographer. I would not recommend this camera for a pure DSLR beginner, it's too complex but once you know what you are doing, this is a beauty!!

Ok, there are photographers, and there are equipment collectors. Sadly, a lot of folks think they're photographers, but in reality, they just like to collect equipment. I'm an amateur photographer and a gadget man to boot. So no, I don't know as much about photography as a pro, but I do have enough experience with enough equipment to form an objective opinion. I started with Nikon's D70. Since then I've shot the D200, D5100, D5200, and now the D7100. If you're using your DSLR in full program most of the time as a point and shoot, don't spend the extra money on this camera. Get a D3200 or D5200. If you are constantly changing your settings in the middle of shooting, this is the most bang for the buck you're going to get from Nikon. You see, with the D3XXX line or D5XXX line you have to go into the menu on the back of the camera and hold at arm's length to change your shooting settings. Not a good thing to have to do in the middle of a photo op. The D7100, and the other upper end Nikon's have controls on the outside of the camera to let you change settings without ever having to move the camera from your eye. There are much more expensive Nikon's out there, especially when you get into full frame, and knowing Nikon they will come out with something "newer" than the D7100 in a year or so. But I think it will be mostly fluff, that Nikon had plateaued with this one. Not sure they can make one that's really better any time soon. Easy to use, reliable, and takes great shots, and utilizes many of the same features of Nikon's that cost twice as much, or more. Unless you have to have full frame, this should be the last Nikon you'll buy for a very long time.

This is the first digital camera that I've felt comfortable and happy with since film cameras lost their dominance on photography. This camera has got me interested in shooting again.I've owned a D100 and a D200. If you have either one of those - the longer you wait to replace them, the sillier your going to feel when you do. Have also owned F90 and F5 film cameras. Never mind a handful of digital and film point-and shooters. (I've been here for a "few days.")- Auto exposure modes get it right (or at least not WRONG) MOST of the time. (Cursed the D200...almost NEVER got it right).- Image quality is RAZOR SHARP; I can easily get way more detail than I can see with my eyeballs (I used a 50mm fixed to look at a model I was building...the model didn't look as good when the image showed me the imperfections I couldn't see).- Auto focus modes are amazing - focus TRACKING?! Will focus track a subject as it moves. Its not "perfect", but it works. When I say "not perfect" I was shooting motorcycles at speeds between 60 and 200mph with shutter speeds from 1/2000 down to 1/30...and some of them had focus fuzz most didn't. Almost all where usable though (most viewers wouldn't even notice).- easy access and control of settings through menus, buttons and programable buttons you can choose functions for (sadly you cant apply ANY function but you have a choice of some). Nikon has always done well here.- SD card memory 2 SLOTS!? SO LONG compact flash...I disliked you for such a long time! And now I've got 2ea 32GB cards...its like carrying a whole film store's worth of film. You DO remember what film is don't you!? How about 64 of those "really AWESOME" (when they came out) 1gb cards?! I can't even get my head around putting 2ea 64GB cards in there...but I COULD - but thats just nuts...even if 2ea 32GB isn't? Do we have 128GB SD's yet...NVM...I don't wanna know.Anyway...I don't like giving $1200 to ANYBODY - but this camera makes it not so painful; but I think Nikon should have "comped" it to me as compensation for the D200. Almost went to Canon over that one.Good camera. I Like it. This, as you can see...is the line...at the bottom...hint...hint...

Hands down, I am so happy that I upgraded to the D7100. After shooting landscapes, portraits, macro, wildlife, sports, etc. for a while with the D5100, I knew it was time for an upgrade - and the D7100 fit exactly what I wanted. It features several upgrades from Nikon's entry-level line, from weather-sealing to the dual SD slots. Its button layout is so much more convenient and faster than having to go through menus to adjust settings. Also, even though my hands are small, I greatly enjoy the bigger, sturdier D7100, even with a grip attached (in fact, I have yet to attach the neck strap to it - it feels so good in my hands that I never worry about dropping it).The one downside I've found to this camera is that I had to invest in a few more 16GB memory cards. ;) But on the other hand, I actually prefer it that way - it's nice to have some wiggle room to crop in post in case I didn't frame the subject perfectly.I went back and forth for a while about whether to get the D7100 or the D600, but I could not convince myself to go full-frame just yet. However, I greatly enjoy using my 55-300mm with the cropped-sensor for a little extra "reach."If you find yourself debating on upgrading to the D7100 from the D3xxx or the D5xxx line, I say go for it. This is Nikon's newest flagship DX body, upgraded from the insanely popular D7000, and they did an amazing job!

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.

I absolutely love this camera. Let me start by letting you know what I was shooting with prior to this purchase. I went from the D3200 which I thought was awesome until I picked up the D7000, and finally ended up with this beautiful piece of machinery here. The user interface was very different on this camera. It is not designed for beginners like the D3200. You will have to read the manual to learn everything that the camera does and so that your not fumbling through settings like a lost child. First and fore most stepping up to the pentaprism from the penta-mirror was the most obvious change that was noticed. Second the auto focus just has been snappy great and responsive. In reference from jumping up from the D7000. I really got to be able to appreciate the sharpness that I just wasn't seeing in the D7000. I guess removing that filter actually made things a little bit sharper. The OLED screen in the back is clearer and just shows you a better representation of what your trying to see.The 7100 has subtle updates that just make a lot of things easier. The updated pixels add just a little more detail. The use of HDR is very nice to try out by setting the amount of exposures you would like. The 7100 does video better as well. With the addition of the stereo inputs and also the use of the updated wireless adapter it makes using this camera a breeze. All in all this camera is great to use and very fun to see the images that can be shot so effortlessly. The ISO performance is also about the same. Thank you for your time. You will not be disappointed with this camera.

The D7100 is better than my D300s in almost all respects and it cost $800 less and have double the resolution. This is a camera that can be used by an advanced amateur or someone starting out with photography. I like the internal commander flash so I can fire a remote SB700 flash. The dual SDHC card slots are a good feature as one can fill up and the camera will automatically switch to the one in the other slot or one can be used for photos and the other for video.The new f8 autofocus is great for slower lenses. This camera focuses much faster in low light with my two f5.6 zoom lenses than would the D300s with these lenses. Photographing birds in flight is easy with this camera. There is also a function to show if the camera is tilted either vertically or horizontally and I use this a lot. I have the camera set so the preview button turns this on and off.The body is somewhat on the small side and with large/normal mens hands the controls are more awkward than with the D300s or full size cameras. The optional battery pack would be good for this but it is over $260 and not something I plan to buy at that price.Picture quality is outstanding and I can make 20x30 prints from the files. There are special picture controls so an image can be adjusted in the camera and saved or sent to a printer. A friend shoots with a D800 and the two cameras are more alike that I had realized. The D7100 is a lot like having a D800 crop camera at a third the price of the full frame camera.Exposure accuracy, white balance accuracy, and fill flash accuracy are amazing. It is almost idiot proof. I gave up waiting for a D400 to appear and I am not at all disappointed with having the D7100 to use in its place.

To summarize: the image quality is great, screen is large (3.2") and bright, the battery lasts a long time, and the camera has a lot of features to make shooting easier. The only downsides are that it's a bit heavier than entry level DSLRs and the buffer is small (and, obviously, it's not FX).The custom settings C1 and C2 are really useful for rapidly changing between settings. When I'm shooting birds or other fast wildlife I'll use the smaller 12-bit lossy RAW files so it's nice to use these to rapidly change between 14-bit lossless and 12-bit lossy. The customizable menu is great for things you regularly want to be able to change without navigating the gigantic number of options.The continuous burst mode is great for short periods but because the buffer is relatively small, if you do this regularly it's going to be worth getting a couple of SD cards that can write at at least 60MBps. Note that the camera cannot write to the two SD slots at the same time, so if you set it to backup mode then the effective write speed will be halved.Nikon significantly upgraded it's Auto ISO feature so now it factors in the focal length when determining the appropriate minimum shutter speed for each shot, so if you haven't used Auto ISO before, it's worth checking out again.The battery lasts nearly twice as long (950 shots) as those than smaller DSLRs (typically 550 shots) and over three times as long as compacts (typically 300 shots). Obviously, I find these numbers vary depending on how much I have the screen on, etc.If you're comparing this to a more modern camera, this paragraph might not mean much to you, but compared to my old D40, the self-cleaning system is amazing and having a built-in intervalometer and an additional port to connect to my smartphone running TriggerTrap opens the door to lots of time-lapse possibilities. The mirror-up and delayed shutter options really help with stabilizing the camera for longer exposures.

I am a Nikon guy through and through. I progressed from D100 to D200, to D300 and finally to this camera which is the "D400" if such a thing existed. The stills are amazing. Incredibly low noise even at high ISO. Coupled with a sharp lens, this camera simply makes everything else before it obsolete. But I still cannot fathom why Nikon simply has no clue about professional video. If you are looking for a DSLR as a large sensor video camera for "cinematic look" video, DO NOT buy this camera. The quality of the video is simply not there. I cannot explain why. There is no explanation except the software because the sensor clearly has far more resolution than is required to make exceptional video, but this camera just doesn't do it. It's just soft and lousy looking when compared to virtually any other DSLR or even a cheap video camera. Cranking up the sharpening setting just makes it worse (it looks like soft video that has been sharpened). The 60i mode is so bad it's unusable. I'm extremely disappointed in this camera's video quality. In addition, the pre-amp on the mic input is really noisy, so there is a lot of hiss on interviews even when using premium lav mics. I give it 4 stars because it's an exceptional still camera and that's what most people will buy it for. But if you are a filmmaker looking for a DSLR cinema camera, buy a Canon. I hate to say it, but it's true. Come on Nikon, you can do so much better. Hire an engineer that knows something about video.

The new D7100 is NOT a replacement for a D7000 - it's a whole new beast! I'm glad I waited until this new camera was available. It is in good company with my D300s. I bought this as my backup body but in the short time I have used it, I am really impressed. If you have read any of my other reviews, you'd know I am a huge Nikon fan and have been shooting with their cameras for over 40 years. I am also a huge fan of the DX format.The D7100 has a couple of features not available on the D300s. At first I thought it was a dumbed down D300s, but after shooting a couple hundred images with every lens that I own, I'm finding that some of the features are very useful. In particular, it has the ability of cropping the image area to a 1.3X factor. Simply put, a 300mm DX lens becomes a 390mm lens. I have been using my Nikkor 80mm to 400mm AF ED lens and since it is an FX format lens it becomes a 120mm to 600mm and when you use the 1.3X crop function it maxes out at 780mm!The new features are many, but the ones I like the best include the display of the virtual horizon thru the viewfinder, auto focus in live view mode, the 1.3X crop function and the ability to shoot 6-fps! The fast frame rate is only possible when using an extreme SDHC card. The D7100 has 2 SDHC card slots, so you can record RAW on the first card and JPEG on the second. OR, you can create backup copies (as you shoot) on the second card. Nice!Now for the down side - it only shoots RAW and JPEG - unlike the D300s which will also shoot TIF's. The second "gotcha" is the RAW processing, version 7.4, isn't out yet! Yes, Adobe has a BETA you can download, but I haven't been able to make it work. I'm sure they will get it together before long. The other thing that surprised me was a long list of "Program" modes - 18 of them! That's where the dumbed down aspects come in. I guess if you are looking for simplicity...it's there! OK, now back to the really good features...The LCD screen is the brightest and sharpest I have seen on any camera! Nikon came up with a new way to display things - RGB+W. That's right, Red, Green, Blue and White. Also they have added 2 user defined settings to the mode dial. Let's say you want to shoot B&W, you can program that for "U1" and maybe HDR, "U2". Very handy! There is one additional item on the menu which is really great - "Recent Settings" - finally, you can have a look at your latest set of changes! Very useful addition.I'll be adding to this review as I use the camera more. This is clearly a versitile addition to the Nikon lineup...it can be set to "easy" or worked like a pro.
