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 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!!

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 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.

I'm just a noob, but a serious noob. I also own a D5100. I'm not going to go into details why I think it is an awesome DSLR because someone else probably already stated all those reasons. I didn't buy the D7100 hoping for better image quality vs the D5100. Both have similiar image quality and impossible to tell apart. Some said, the D7100's high ISO performance isn't that great vs the D5100. It's actually slightly better, but not by much according to my tests. Keep in mind you're viewing a 24mp vs 16mp too.Tested the D610 before making my choice to go with the D7100. The D610 isn't a bad camera, but can't stand all the focus points cluttered into a tight space. The D7100 also seem to focus faster too with the same lens (50mm F/1.8). If i were to go full frame, i would skip directly to the D800's. Personally I think the D7100 is better than the D610 and D700. I do mostly daylight photography, so paying extra $$$ for low light performance isn't worth it and it's not like the D7100 sucks in low light anyway. I get usable/good pictures up to ISO 3200.Only a few thing I don't quite like about this DSLR.****The ISO button cannot be programmed to another button. when using a light lens, it's not so bad, but when using a heavy lens like the 70-200 F/2.8, it's tough.EDIT: 4/9/14 After 1000 shots, about 20-30 small spots appeared across the whole frame at F22. I almost never shoot pass F8 (portrait photographer only), but this sort of bothers me. My D5100 doesn't have this problem after 6000 shots. Please comment if you have this problem too.

I have owned the camera for about 7 months now. It is a phenomenal DSLR! I have worked my way up through the Nikon 3100, 5100, and now I am absolutely loving the D7100. The thing is packed with features that are extremely useful and make for a perfect introduction to professional-level ideas and concepts, such as the built-in intervalometer to make time-lapse really easy. Its essentially a pro-featured camera which I love, but still includes a few simpler options for my wife who prefers point-and-shoot simplicity. I had been upgrading every two years, but will be keep this model for quite a bit longer. The reviews online are predominantly very positive, with the D7100's small buffer being the only real negative mark. It can slow the # of frames taken in a certain amount of time, but it is only a problem for a small subset of scenarios (shooting full-size RAW @ 6 frames per second, for example). A high-speed memory card and a few quick settings adjustments and you can get past that problem pretty easily, with negligble effect on image quality. i highly recommend this DSLR...

Waited a long time to save up for this camera. Finally the kit came out with the 18-140 lens combo and that was the ticket! To top it all off, I was able to time my purchase so amazon was awarding 4% cash back, giving away a camera backpack and a good 32GB sandisk SD card (not the normal generic amazon SD card) so financially it all was a blessing.As for the camera, I came from a D300. The D7100 is very much an upgrade both in image quality and in operation. Menus are intuitive, buttons are close to the D300's so that I didn't have to learn much, but there is a lot of additional functionality that just adds to the operation to make it easier to use and produce more keeper photos.Body is a little lighter and smaller than the D300 so that is actually a blessing since I don't want to lug around all that weight anymore. Everything fits great in my hands.The lens is exactly what I wanted for a walk-around lens. Covers all the focal lengths I normally use and the VRII allows me to get away with the slower apertures. (When I want to do really critical imaging in low light with faster shutter speeds, I still have my 17-55 so all is good. Highly recommended for the photo enthusiast (although with the release of the D3300, someone who can wait may want to wait until the photokina to see if Nikon releases a D7200!) I'm just glad I got this for Christmas for myself so I could capture all those moments during the holiday season.

Having finally retired I was in the market to pursue my life long passion for photography. Obviously being retired I quickly came to the conclusion that although I wanted to get the biggest and best bang for my buck...I'm on a fixed income now. I researched several camera manufacturers and various models that each offered (Narrowed my search to Nikon and Canon). When I finally decided that the Nikon D7100 would best fit my wants/needs I proceeded to look for the best price. A package was advertised about a month before Christmas that I was quite impressed with but wasn't sure that I was prepared to pay the price for it. After further searches for the best price available I quickly came to the realization that the package was as good a deal as I would get. When I went back to Amazon the package was no longer available. I continued searching for the same package price for several weeks but was unable to find it anywhere. Finally, about a week before Christmas, I went back to Amazon and low and behold the package was once again available. At that juncture I did not hesitate for a single second. I purchased the Nikon package and thus far have absolutely no regrets. The Nikon D7100 is a remarkable piece of engineering and has met all of my expectations and beyond.

I had been looking at purchasing a D7100 for a while now. When I saw that they were now including the 18-140mm lens, I was ready to buy. I was really happy when I saw that Amazon had it in their stock. I always prefer to buy from Amazon because I feel protected if something should go wrong, Unfortunately, something went wrong.The camera arrived on time. The shipping box was in great shape. I opened the box and started following the quick-start guide... charge the battery, attach the strap, install the lens and memory. I was ready to go.When I tried to take a picture, I noticed that the viewfinder was out of focus. No problem, I thought. I'll just turn the viewfinder diopter adjustment wheel. When I went to adjust it, the wheel would not turn. I applied more pressure and got it to turn one click. I kept playing with the wheel, hoping that it would loosen, but it's defective and worthless to use to adjust the diopter. So, back it goes.Luckily, I bought it from Amazon. They deserve kudos for their customer service. The downside is that Amazon is out of stock and will only offer a refund. I wanted a replacement, but they have none, so I have to purchase it elsewhere.One star for Nikon's lack of quality control. 5 stars for Amazon Customer Service.Update, 12/17. Purchased another D7100 from San Jose Camera. The diopter wheel, while still a bit hard to turn, was better than the first one. SO far, I love this camera. Time will tell

Using D90 from 2009 and got this on Jun 2013 (only 4 yrs for expensive gears :( )Still its a gr8 upgrade from D90, Got Nikon 70-300mm vr2 with this one and a used Nikon 16-85mm VRCONSAs others said the Zoom in and Out reversal is bit annoying till I get used to that but OK button zoom helps a lot.Few options are different from D90 but most are same and I wish the Remote control ON/OFF is combined with Multi / Timer Delay / Remote shots.Sometime the shutter button will not click if flash is on (Disabled Red Eye / Pre flash and works fine now) but I loose that feature with that delay. Nikon should not have turned on that feature by default (if not atleast shutter should be released quick)DOF and Fn button are reversed (from D90) but still customizable so I am goodMissing LCD screen protectorTried W1ua wireless connector with android app, I feel that is a useless feature with lots of improvements needed to call it as a feature. (Spending 70 buck for that transmitter does not pay its worth) - looks like a college project.PROS--------Like the 51pt focus though I did not played around all the modes of AF.Time lapse feature is a long waited feature for me.U1 and U2 modes are good use when traveling and visiting places that has exhibits Indoor and outdoor.Video features are better compared to D90, but still few bugs (others have mentioned) - I did not have time to play with this feature muchDual SD card slots comes handy for long trip and serious shoots as backup.Built in flash range is good and does not get blocked by standard zoom hoods.Info button is nice to have and much useful in video mode. and to get extra features like Horizon, grid etc.Can recommend for users whom does not mind spending more.for budget users get D7000 for much cheaper with few trade offs that you can live with.AAF removal does not seem to be a deal breaker for me.File sizes will be bigger so better get more storage (ext HDD) :)

I just received this camera. I have a D7000, and bought this D7100 as an upgrade/second camera. It arrived today. Upon taking the camera out of the box, I noticed three dirt spots on the top and side of the body (odd), and there were two small scratches on the LCD display. Clearly, this camera has been handled, it's not new out of the box. I was going to 'just live with it', but after I charged the battery, and turned on the camera, I noticed the autofocus system was not working. No autofocus capabilities at all; completely dead. I have a been a Nikon camera owner for many years. It's the first time I experience such an issue with any of my Nikon gear. I read online about quality control issues at Nikon. I didn't believe it until now. I still want the camera so I requested an exchange rather than a return. I hope the replacement is actually brand new, and works 100%. If not, this could be the end of my Nikon gear ownership days. Quite disappointing!! Nikon, if you really are experiencing quality control issues, may I please suggest you 'DO' something about it sooner than later?!!!UPDATE!!!I received a replacement camera today (outstanding customer service; thank you again Amazon). Looking at the packaging of the replacement camera, it is absolutely clear that the first camera I received was not brand new. The replacement camera still has the plastic cover on the LCD display, the other one did not. The packaging is unopened, unlike the other camera and there are no dirt stains on the replacement camera. I am charging the camera's battery now. I will test the camera later today to confirm it is defect free.

I'm an amateur photographer and the the Nikon D7100 is pricey so I had to think hard about buying it (especially since lenses and other add-ons run the price up pretty fast). I've only had it one day but I'm extremely pleased with it; it has exceeded my expectations. Here's one test I've done in some detail. I was sick of low light performance by my previous cameras (grainy pictures, slow shutter response, basically worthless performance). First evening I had the D7100 I went out in the fading twilight and shot in a nearby public garden (the camera was set on Auto and with no flash). The pictures were superb. The shutter response was instantaneous. The camera took soft autumn colors that my eyes no longer could see in the twilight. Later, inside, I shot a test picture in a dark room with just a bit of light coming in through an open door behind me. My eyes could only see the vaguest of shapes of furniture and walls. The camera took a picture mostly in grey tones that showed all the objects in the room clearly. Again it was set on Auto with no flash so I didn't have to do anything complicated to get the result. The most interesting thing is the room has a wall hanging that is red and the picture showed the wall hanging clearly red. I don't know what owls or cats see in the dark, but this camera is more like an owl or a cat than a human when it is shooting in low light. I'm excited to learn more about what this camera can do.

Well I bought the body only from Amazon Prime and received it on time but the package seemed to be open box.So I took one picture and run software where I can see all the meta info including picture counts.It showed 162 counts already. Ouch! That was my first luck.I needed the camera next day for some event so I decided to test it.Oh well, the camera had serious back focusing issue no matter how I change the setting to AF-A, C, S (single, d9, 3d, 51, etc.).I even manually adjust the focus length (I belive like -10) from camera setting but the focusing/image was just not acceptable.I ran some focusing tests and my old D40x delievered better (focused) pictures.So, I returned it and got the new one and wow! what a difference I can see on just first shot.Also I had to make sure this is new, so I took first picture and the meta info was showing picture count as 1. Yeah!I didn't even bother adjust the focust length manually.I upgraded the firmware right away and everything seems to be in good shape.Upgrading from D40x, this D7100 has just too many functions and delievers much sharper images even at low lights.Now I can even record HD 1080P with all my lenses.Even the shutter sounds better and faster.One downside I found was when recording 1080P HD movies (w/ live view only), sometimes the camera is having hard time autofocusing on objects with my Nikon & Sigma lenses. Maybe I'm still not fully understnading how to control, but I get better results focusing manually. And if I set it to autofocus, I can hear motor sound from lense when I playback on my pc. Hopefully NIKON can improve on that, but the overall quality of pictures & movies are awesome!I think I'm keeping this one.

This is so far an excellent camera, far exceeding my D90. I have had it less than a week, but the improvements are obvious. My Nikon 80-400 mm VR lens is really revealed at its best. Focus is fast and accurate. It works with my old AI-s lenses measuring exposure (but of course still manual focus). There are other advantages too numerous to outline here in this short review.It was disappointing that when I was ready to buy it was not available through Prime. B&H had a special that included a battery, camera case, and SD card for no extra charge. (Supposedly an $85 "value".) This meant that even paying extra for two-day shipping was compensated for.If you are thinking of upgrading your current camera this would be a good choice.

This is my first Dslr. So, please take my review with a grain of salt. The Auto mode makes it very easy to take pictures, but over time you will develop the to "compose" an image. I purchased a kit that included the 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6 and the body for only $1199 at a camera shop in Fairbanks, AK. What a steal! So far I have had a ton of fun learning how to use it. The camera turns on near instanaeously and the body fits rather well in my large hands. The weight is where it should be; it lets you know you are using a near prosumer camera. The images are crisp and detailed before any post-production in Lightroom 5. Battery life hasn't even come close to dying yet; most of my images are taken without the flash firing. I ordered an SB-700 speedlight, so I guess I'll never know the battery life with flash. I haven't tried shooting video yet. Overall, it's an amazing camera.

Initially I was very frustrated in adjusting the setting of the camera to the ways I wanted in AF because of the ambiguity of the user manual (not helpful). I thought this was a s***ty camera because of that. Thanks to the internet, finally I found the answer and had it setup the way I wanted and my test shoots showed it's OK++ in image sharpness and flexibility of the AF. To me that is good enough - because I don't care about the rest of the functionalities as long as the sharpness and the handle of AF are satisfactory, which it finally does. One thing I want to mention is the power of the auto ISO. In certain low light or dark situations not possible for other cameras, this one can produce some amazing image just by hand held. Another strong point of this camera is the vividness of the color - very rich. OK despite the initial frustration (almost wanted to return the camera), I'm OK now so what the heck I will give it a five stars.

It's very much like my d90, but a major step up! LOVE this camera. Only downfall is the shutter button. It made sound stupid, but the d90 had a definitive "click" when you pressed it. This is a softer, cheaper pressurized shutter button. I think it's more sensitive, and ultimately better, just prefer the old style. If that is my only complaint though, then that says it all.P.s. I do get great low light performance out of this camera, and low grain at higher ISO then the d90.... BUT I don't think it is AS GOOD as they say it is in some reviews.

Gave this 5 stars because I couldn't give 4.5 stars and think it deserves more than 4. I am not a professional by any means, just a hobby-amateur photographer who wants decent quality photos. I am also not a pixel counter or zoom in umpteen % like others seem to do. I like some control to learn and further my ability but also appreciate the auto/scene modes. That said, this is an excellent camera and in my opinion a good value given the build with weather sealing. I chose the body only and tested it so far with the 16-85mm lens I already have. The few tests I have done have produced excellent images but I have not enough video yet. The locking dial did take a little getting used to but I guess it has its advantage. I'm sure I will learn to appreciate all the control buttons/dials. The screen resolution is outstanding. A touch screen would be nice to navigate the menu options but not critical for me. I had the D5200 for a week but ended up sending it back, not due to quality but the fact that it was sent as new and had obviously been used. After much self-debating, I decided to go a step up with the D7100, and glad I did. The shutter noise seems to be quieter, which I like. I am not a fan of the articulating screen so not having that isn't an issue, but may be for some. It is heavier but that would be expected with the better build. There is no comparison in the build quality between the 5200 and 7100, although I found the 5200 to be exceptional in image quality too! I like that you can have two SD cards in the camera to have one exclusively for video or backup/overflow. I know I have some learning to do so may update this review at a later date. I do not go into great technical details as I see in some review, so anyone wanting that should read the Dpreview.com in depth review, along with the many other reviews out there if they are seriously considering this.

The D7100 has great image quality but the feel of the camera is cheap and light like you'de expect in their consumer models.Nikon changed some of the control button features just enough to annoy you a little until you get used to them.But the ISO capability is tremendously better than the D300s I was shooting for years. I gained a full 2-3 stops with this camera.Even at the higher ISO's the noise is finer and less noticeable because of the resolution. The shutter noise is remarkably quieter as well. Putting aside the cheap build - I think the camera is a winner over all.

This camera has some excellent features, the scene modes are excellent, and it has good controls for manual. Unlike my Canon 7D, it doesn't try to take every picture at 1/100 F4 even when it's bright sunshine and not a cloud in the sky.However, I am a high speed raw shooter, I do moving objects like people and trains. This thing is PATHETIC when it comes to that. It can only shoot 6, count them 6, RAW images on full frame high speed. My Canon 7D can shoot about 18.It is unacceptable for the amount of money this camera is that the buffer can only hold 6 raw images. It's a shame because the camera has great features for shooting high speed auto, but a woofully underpowered buffer.

I would consider myself an amateur photographer. I have primarily owned Sony DSLR cameras and really didn't have any problems with them or the image quality. However, when I saw the quality of Nikon cameras and lenses - it made me realize my horizons needed to be broadened. This bundle is an EXCELLENT kit for replacing older cameras, changing brands, or just starting out. The quality of Nikon products are very obvious from the start. Nikon also has a very wide assortment of quality lenses and outstanding accessories. The bag that comes with this holds everything perfectly and is very secure. If you are even pondering the purchase - just do yourself a favor and hit buy now!

After a month, about 1,500 photos and 2 hours of video, I can say my new Nikon D7100 overall is a nice step up from my old D300 (purchased in Dec2007). The D7100 is smaller and lighter than the D300 plus the D7100 shoots video. While it's video capabilities cannot touch my wife's Sony HDR-CX550V digital video camera, the D7100 is far more convenient to use versus lugging around both the D300 and HDR-CX550V. The D7100 will AF in live view video mode, something that I do not believe Canon digital SLR cameras will do.D7100 vs. D300: D7100 has the same to faster autofocus speed and sensitivity, better image quality, the same to better color, and metering accuracy is about the same or slightly better than the D300. Both the D7100 and D300 suffer from a small memory buffer - in high speed frame advance (6 fps) the buffer fills and slow down about 2-3 fps after 7 or 8 consecutive shoots. At 4 fps or slower, I can shoot to my hearts content with the D7100. I do not really care for the D7100's user customizable banks, as they are limited to only two. The D300 has several user customizable banks, but they are accessible only through the camera's menu system (call this a stalemate). The D300 is more ruggedly constructed than the D7100, and several key camera functions are quicker and easier to set than on the D7100 (i.e., AF mode, metering, ISO, white balance). I love the dual SDXC card slots of the D7100 and hate the CF cards for the D300. The D7100 has better battery life than the D300 (but the D7000 battery life beats both).I am concerned that the D7100 lacks the rear LCD screen protector that the D300 (and D7000) have. I can see Nikon eliminating the screen protector on a tilt / swivel LCD screen, and / or a touch screen, but the D7100 has neither of these. What gives here?Overall, so far so good.

Just recieved the item in the mail today. I ordered it on the 14th when it first came out and got one day shipping. I ordered it early in the morning so I hoped I'd get it Friday at some point. I didn't though. I had to wait the weekend. But oh well, because this camera is awesome. I've ordered multiple lenses with it but those haven't arrived yet. Will update as they arrive. Even with the 18-105mm lens this thing is awesome. The picture clarity is amazing especially for the price.I work mainly in wildlife photography which means I need accurate and fast autofocus for those quick little animals and flying birds, which is why I deccided on this camera, but haven't got to use it for it yet. I've so far only tested it on my kids in the backyard and on random objects in my house. The autofocus is really fast. I used to have the D300 and the autofocus on the d7100, speed wise, is superior. Also the autofocus in low light is pretty good as well.It will take me a little while to get used to the controls but the possibilities with this thing are really exciting. I can't wait to get it out in the woods and see what it can do.As far as video goes, I don't know. I'm sure I will tamper with it but it isn't the reason I bought it.The double SD slots are also awesome. Not only does it give you a ton more memory but you can alter what each card is used for. I have mine set to RAW/JPEG but can always change it to copy/backup or simply double the memory, which now days can give rediculous results. Get two 128GB SD cards and that will give you 256GB in your camera. That's a computer hardrive! I didn't do that though. I got two 32GB cards which is still a ton of memory.I will try to get out to a local lake tomorrow and take some herp and bird pics and post the results.First impressions, I really see a ton of potential in this camera and I am excited to see what it can do. Especially when my other lenses come in. By the way, the other lenses are the 85mm micro and the 55-300mm.

BEING A PROFESSIONAL;PHOTOGRAPHER OF OVER 40 YEARS WITH TWO STUDIOS, I FEEL IM QUALIFIED TO OFFER MY OPINION OF THIS PRODUCT.I HAVE HAD OVER 7 DIFFERENT NIKON CAMERAS FROM F SERIES FILM ON UP TO DIGITAL D SERIES. WHATS AMAZING TO ME IS THE TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE.THIS D7100 IS BASICALLY A COMPUTER THAT TAKES PHOTOS. WHILE YOU MAY NEVER UTILIZE THE FULL CAPABILITIES AND VARIETY OF FEATURES OF THIS CAMERA. IT STILL GUARANTEES YOU ABSOLUTELY AMAZING RESULTS.ANOTHER ASTOUNDING OBSERVATION IS THAT THIS CAMERA WITH ITS CAPABILITIES WOULD HAVE COST MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS MORE JUST A FEW YEARS AGO. THE BUILD QUALITY, THE ATTENTION TO EASY ACCESS TO FEATURES NEEDED AND THE ERGONOMICS OF THE BODY ARE FANTASTIC..THANK YOU NIKON....AGAIN

I've been in photography for a year and a half. My first camera was the D3200, It's a wonderful camera, but I realized the limitation it has. The D7100 is the perfect choice. I still can use my old DX lenses and I could get two additional lenses. I think, this camera is a middle point between a Pro full frame sensor camera and a starters DSLR camera. About quality, the sensor is pretty much the same as the D3200 but the speed and having more controls over the camera and more shooting options is amazing. All the reviews I watched in YouTube and read on other pages were right on this camera. I won't change it for anything.

I upgraded from a D5100. I selected the D7100 over the D5200 mostly because I wanted the larger view finder (I rarely use the LCD for framing up a shot, and tend not to do videos with my SRL as I have a pretty decent video camera that does a better job of that). I tested out the camera with the same lenses as my current, and if definitely is better performer. But I have has some issues. I recently did a week long vacation to Utah national parts and tooks ~3500 photos. The camera would frequently lock up, and either be hung up for 15-30 seconds, or longer in which I would turn camera off then back on to bring back to life (that never happened with my D5100). Also, I do not like having to push a release button down to turn the program mode wheel. I do not know why they need to lock the wheel since I never had my D5100 accidentally move to another program setting. The D7100 design requires me to use 2 hands to hand programs modes or release, which is a pain. I guess they had to do this because the put the wheels on top top of the other and it is hard to get to one without touching the other. I found the D5100 much easier and fast to change programs. I have also has a little bit of issue with the camera body recognizing lenses. I never that that problem with the same lenses on my D5100. I had a few problems on this recent trip, where I had to remove lens and reattach. In hindsight, I'm thinking I should have gone for the D5200 and save some money. I am still overall satisfied with the camera (and the faster shutter speed definitely was a plus on recent trip), when you upgrade, I expect to all pluses and no minuses, and there are some minuses for m.

I have had the camera a little over a year (April 2013) with just under 3K shutter clicks. Started seeing the spots in January 2014 (upper left corner), did the in-camera self cleaning a few times, then they went away. Started using the camera heavily in March, and on the 31st I took pics and the spots are so prominent and heavy, that most of the shots are unusable. I purchased a third-party extended warranty (after my experience with pixels with the D5100), and shipped the camera out last week. I love the camera, and until recently had not had any issues. I love the focus and clarity in the photos.

Nikon sets the pricing (so you are not getting a special deal by purchasing it online). If you have a problem with the camera (as I do), you will need to go to your local Nikon rep & pay to have them ship it out to be fixed & then be without the camera for 6-8 weeks. The camera I purchased has a defect with the screen (manufacturer issue). I realized the problem after the 30 day window (6 weeks after I purchased it) & because it was purchased through a 3rd party on Amazon, Amazon cannot do anything to help. They told me to bring it to my local Nikon dealer.

I went to my local camera shop today and i took my super sharp rokinon 85mm and the $1500 dollar nikkor 17-55, i shot the D7000 and the D7100 with both my lenses, i also took two of my SD cards and installed one in each of the cameras, i set them both the same way, i have seen the photos on my monitor and i am sincerely NOT seeing any difference, plain and simple. Wheather this D7100 is used in RAW or jpeg the other cameras are just as good, less expensive and some are even sharper. I owned the D7000 for three years, which i sold not too long ago, so i also have THOUSANDS of photos taken from that camera. From all the fuss that's going around i thought the D7100 was WAY BETTER and i was almost ready to buy one.I really wonder how many people here are actually nikon sales people, honestly, and that to me is REALLY REALLY disturbing. If they are not marketting employees they sure are nikon fanboys. I like nikon but if i get to the point where i start telling lies or imagine that a camera is better when is not, now that would mean that there is something wrong with me. The AF of the D7100 is FANTASTIC for sure, but IQ i think people are just wanting to imagine things that are actually not true, specially when i see a recent review for the D7100 that says that the D7100 BLOWS the D7000 away. That's just plain RIDICULOUS. I have owned D200, D7000, Fuji S5 PRO and have used a D300 and own many nikon lenses and i would definitely see a big difference in IQ from the D7100 compared to most these cameras, but the D7100 is only a hair better in picture quality between the D7000, which right now you can buy the D7000 at a BARGAIN price.Now that i have finished my comment, all of you can start saying "well, did you buy the camera???" "Your review is pointless and useless and invalid since you did not buy the camera".

This is the first DSLR camera that I have ever owned and I love it!I take this camera with me everywhere I go!Great photos all around.Only issue that I have is the video recording, Doing stationary shots are EXCELLENT, but when I go to pan the camera I get a flickering that makes me look away. I've tried to shoot on the 1080p 60fps and 1080i 30fps and they do the same thing.Over-all this camera is a great buy for anyone who wants to get in to photography!

This Nikon D7100 has a ton of features. Having had a D200, D700, D7000 and now the D7100, it is really a great camera. I paired this with a Nikon 18-200 that I already had and a 16-85 and the images are sharp. I've shot football games, portraits, bugs, and landscapes. If this is your first DSLR it is probably more camera than you need unless you want to grow into it and are willing to learn about the functions. It will do everything you want it to do and more.The ergonomics are fantastic. It feels great in your hand, which is important for all day shooting. The body feels solid. There are two memory card slots which is great, because one can be a backup incase the images on your first card fails or it can be overflow or you can set it you be used for video. It is all up to you.I use the built in flash to trigger my external Nikon flash or when I just need some extra light and don't want to get my Nikon speed light out. Battery life is great. I can shoot a couple hours at a football game and only use 1/4 of the battery life.You won't be disappointed. After this camera, invest in some good glass.. that is my next purchase.

I am an old Nikon fan-bought my first 35mm F2 Photomic in Vietnam in the exchange 44 years ago. I taught photography to investigators years ago but have not picked up a SLR in many years, and we were still using film then. I found the whole concept of learning digital photography in my 60's to be intimidating but I needed to jump in to assist in startup of a private investigation business. This camera system has just about everything I will need to get started-I added an SB 700 speedlight and I am ready to go. The only thing I could suggest to make this better would be to include a couple of no color screw on lens filters to protect the lenses because you know that is going to be the first thing you are going to buy. The instructions are clear and easy to read and taking pictures with this camera is quite intuitive-I was shooting good photos within an hour and am impressed with the image quality. This is a good value for the price.

I first bought the d3200, nope sent it back. Then got the d5200 and was quite surprised how much different that camera was compared to the 3200, I almost kept the d5200, but there was a couple things I was not happy with but could have lived with. So I returned the d5200, and preordered the d7100, had about a month wait, but well worth it. This camera is bigger than either one of the other two, which fits my hands much better, the ownerers manual is 3/4 of an inch thick compared to maybe an 1/8 inch thick on the d5200. The best thing I like is this model has two thumb wheels, one on the back of the camera right above where your thumb will naturally go, and one just below the shutter button where your index finger will naturally be, so you can use the back one to adjust shutter, and the front to set aperature, this makes it extremely easy to use in manual mode, so easy in fact I almost always shoot this way,. With the 5200 you only had one wheel on the back, so to adjust shutter you had to use the same wheel for adjusting aperature plus push another button to switch from aperature adjust to shutter adjust, all three cameras are completely different in many respects in my opinion, not just added features, the d7100 other than processing power really is a completely different camera, I love it, very Happy. I use this camera both commercially as well as just plain fun. I am so glad I opted to upgrade from the d5200, but if your a woman or fairly new to dslr's, you may find the d5200 a better fit for your hand and its lighter, These issues were not a concern for me and this camera fits my hand much better, and is definitly a more professional camera in every respect, their is a very good reason the owners manual is so thick! Love this camera.

This is my third d7100 that Amazon has replaced due to malfunction of the ISO setting. When pressing the ISO button on the back of the camera and rotating the main command dial, the ISO should change. In practice, the camera had to be turned off and back on before the change could be made. Then after taking a shot, if you wished to change the ISO again, the camera had to be turned off and back on again. This is the same error that happened with the second camera. I contacted Nikon on both occasions and went through their trouble shooting sequence and in both cases arrived at the conclusion that the camera had to be returned to Nikon for repair, at my expense. Well thank goodness for Amazon, after a long discussion they have replaced the camera again after offering either a replacement or refund. The camera takes beautiful pictures, but if you are in a situation, such as moving cloud shadows where the ISO needs to be changed frequently, it has a problem.

I was contemplating only giving 4 stars because its not a full frame camera but the images are superb!!! Is great in low light, which I like to shoot. Doesn't get any better than this for a DX (APS-C) camera. I love the dual SD card slots and its options on how you want to use them. It supports FX lenses, which I now own two. If you are going to buy this camera go for just the body, the kit lenses that come with it don't do the camera any justice. I suggest you add a few pennies and get a decent FX lens (yes you can use full frame lenses with the camera). So when you want to upgrade to full frame later, you'll already have full frame lenses. Ask anyone and they will tell you not to use the built in flash. I would say unless you want to be or you are a pro or strive to get great portraits, don't use the built in flash. But as an amateur, the flash works good, maybe a little better than good. But for those you want to get great shots, go get yourself and SB-910, they are just awesome, albeit a hefty price. I didn't buy this camera to use it's video capabilities and haven't tried it yet so I can't speak on video quality. Although I know there are issues with the camera when trying to use video in live view mode. I suggest you read "Professional" reviews of this camera for more details. But for price/performance and not being full frame, you won't find a better deal than this camera.

Had an older Nikon DSLR that had performed well for many years and decided to upgrade to the D7100 and can't say enough about the camera. If you are on the fence about whether or not to buy it jump of the fence and get it you won't be disappointed. The picture quality is phenomenal and it is easy to use for beginners and has all the functionality you need if you are looking to do some serious photography.

This is one awesome camera. I know there will be those that degrade the Nikon D7100, but my guess those people are not Nikon fans, or are people that want others to think they are professional photographers and/or believe they know what they are talking about. NO, this is not a high end professional camera and should be rated as such. Don't try to rate a Porsche using a Ferrari as a standard. This camera is a great camera and will give most amateur or semi-professionals potogs everything they would want. I've had it a little over a week and have just barely scratched the surface of it's potential.

I've been a Nikon photographer since the 35mm days, and have owned several Nikon DX camera bodies, the last being the D7000. I enjoyed the upgrades offered by the D7000 and used it for 3+ years. I decided to continue with the DX format and purchased the new D7100. Fantastic is how I would best describe it. If you are a capable photographer, with some serious camera skills, and a DX lens investment,(8-16mm Sigma, Nikon 35mm, Nikon 50mm, Nikon 16-85mm, Rokinon 85mm, Nikon 55-200mm), the fine detail these lenses offer is obvious from the very first shots. You will enjoy what this camera offers.
