Nikon D7100 24.1 MP DX-Format CMOS Digital SLR with 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Auto Focus-S DX NIKKOR Zoom Lens

التعليق

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 D300s so that I didnt 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 dont 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!) Im just glad I got this for Christmas for myself so I could capture all those moments during the holiday season.

This is a noob review, and wont be helpful for experts at all. I have had my camera for about a week and I love this. I was looking for a camera that I wouldnt outgrow for years to come, and one that would satisfy my camera enthusiast husband who owns some serious film photography equipment which just isnt practical anymore. I purchased the camera with the 18-140 lens, which is a great all-around lens with mid range capabilities in zoom and macro. The camera has great functionality with special effects that you can add to pictures such as color sketch, miniature - which makes distant objects appear miniature, and selective color (for that red apple in a black and white photo), I also bought the wu-1a wireless attachment which is handy for immediate transferring of photos to my phone. I try something new on the camera every day to learn its capabilities, and expand mine. I just had to stop and write a review after what I learned how to do today. I love the instant editing capabilities of the camera. I enjoy taking pictures of birds and wildlife but will not be able to afford the telephoto zoom that I want for awhile. A little disappointed that I would not be able to get pictures of birds yet, I continued to learn every day. Well, I have uploaded two photos. The first is the photo that I actually took at full zoom with the 18-140mm lens. The second is the same photo edited on the camera. Very cool. Its a dark room in a box:) We have birds! Great camera, great quality, great functionality. My husband, who is knowledgeable unlike me, agrees.

The condition of the camera looks like new and came in the original box with a refurbish cert from Nikon. I have only taken a few pictures with it so far, but the 24 mp picture quality is far better than my D70s 6 mp. I think I may be able to print photos larger than 5x7! I bought a 28mm to 105mm zoom lens shortly before buying this camera and the combination of the two makes me very happy. When I began shooting 35mm film there was a steep learning curve, not so with the D7100. You can mount the lens on the body, turn everything to auto, and start shooting. Of course, in order to capture your vision you will have to study the 300+ page manual to be able to expertly manipulate the camera.

The Nikon D7100 is an excellent camera. I recently upgraded from a D90 to the D7100. I mainly shoot video to upload to Youtube, so I needed the flexibility of the D7100. Now I can easily add an external mic, use manual focus Ai lenses, and shoot 1080p as well. The video output from the D7100 is a huge improvement over the D90 video output; so for anyone with a camera that is 2 generations behind like the D90 you will become very happy by moving up to the D7100.

Deserves every star for the best DSLR DX-Format camera on the market! I have a full frame...advantages that no crop frame can meet, but again, best crop frame camera ever! I use glass for full frame, since I use both crop frame and full frame bodies. Paired with pro level glass, the IQ from this little camera really rocks. Detail, sharpness, color, dynamic range is incredible. ONLY areas it falls short of my full frame is that the bokeh is not quite as dreamy, not as sensitive to light and has noticeably more noise at higher ISOs...all of which is to be expected. Only thing better is the D750 or D810, for a LOT more money! Want awesome shots on a budget? Get this camera, pair it up with some really good glass...you wont be disappointed! Theres very little that this camera cant do, that its much more expensive cousins are coveted for!

My primary camera is a D800. I purchased this to replace an aging D90 that I use as my second body. No complaints with the D7100. Pictures are excellent --of course much depends on the lens. I used this mostly with the Tamron 18-270 mm VC lens for travel/touring (landscapes), family pictures, and aviation photography. I have also used it with the Nikon 10.5 Fish Eye, as well as the Nikon 12-20 mm fF4.0. Exposures are perfect and high ISO performance is excellent. The shutter is quieter than the D800. It has been a reliable performer to-date.

I have been using this camera for over 2 years. It has a solid, weather-resistant body and has been a faithful companion in different conditions, various terrains, and in several countries, and has never let me down for any shot I wanted to capture. Know your technique right, and this camera will kick ass. Use it in combination with 35mm 1.8G, or 50mm 1.8, to reveal its full potential. Add a fast (>90Mb/s writing speed) and shoot continuous, the camera is a beast! It performs very well under low light with nice shots up to ISO3200. I have produced multiple award-winning photos with this, so should you! Shout out to all you who are starting out, get this camera (dont waste $ on 3000/5000 series), and start some seriously great photography!

This is a step up from my D3200. The differences in size and weight are dramatic and can be quite surprising if you purchase site un-seen. The body is the same size and shape as Nikons D610. This camera, however, is not Full Frame like the D610. It is a crop sensor, which means you will need to be multiplying the focal lengths of your lenses by 1.5. Crop sensor cameras are both a good and a bad thing. For long distance shooting, it is great because it gives you "extra reach". So your 200mm lens in now "effectively" a 300mm lens. It also makes the excellent Nikon 50mm a somewhat great portrait lens at 75mm. The downside is that if your goal is to shoot landscapes and/or just shoot wide, then your focal lengths will still be 1.5 times longer. So your 16mm shots will be 24mm. When I started shooting outdoor portraits with this camera, I noticed a lot of back focus issues. I had more shots where the background was in focus and the subject was not than I ever had with the D3200. Looking online, focusing issues apparently are a concern for this camera, but I discovered that if I turned off Custom Menu setting A3 (Focus Tracking with Lock On) that the issue generally went away. After setting this, everything has been great. What a relief! The buffer does fill up fast if you are shooing actions shots in RAW. Youll notice it slow down as it writes to the card. Make sure you buy two very fast memory cards. This camera has two card slots that can be used as backup (duplicates photos from one card to the other) or overflow from one card to the other (doubling the number of shots you can take). The photos that come out of this camera are beautiful and sharp. I am not sure if I can tell if the lack of an anti-aliasing filter makes a difference or not. It is supposed to make the photos sharper, but could result in moire patterns. I haven;t noticed a difference either way. From what I understand this camera uses a Toshiba sensor and not a Sony sensor. Usually Nikon uses Sony. Again, I am not sure I notice a difference. Overall, I cannot be more pleased with this camera (after adjusting the settings in the menu, of course). When I bought it, it was Nikons top of the line crop sensor camera. Recently, Nikon released the D7200, with some minor adjustments.

I was in the market for a second camera, but really didnt want to pay full price for a new camera. I already have a large number of Nikon friendly equipment, so I wanted another Nikon camera. I did some research and decided to go with the D7100. I opted to go with a used gray market version. Yes, thats right... I went with a gray market version on purpose because the price for the item was just too good to pass up. For well over half the cost of brand new D7200, I was able to get a D7100 with a low number of clicks/actuations which is fantastic. In the past, I would have stayed clear of a gray market camera because of warranty / repair issues, but Nikon repair centers will now service some gray market cameras. I actually have two authorized Nikon repair centers in my area and both will service and repair the D7100, so at the end of the day, I got a great camera for a Great Price, and I know I can have it repaired if needed.

I upgraded to the D7100 from my old D80 and the difference is night and day. This is an amazing camera, I have never had any trouble with image quality or unwanted patterns for the sensor and its new filterless design. I have been able to shoot very good images of a full moon handheld, which is an absurd thing to do but the cameras speed and resolution make it an option, and thats what you want with a camera like this, shooting options. One of the main reasons I upgraded was that I wanted to shoot video and stills with the same camera and the D80 has no video mode. I have found the HD video produced by the camera to be high quality and to contain very little mic noise from the lens motors. One problem I did have with this camera is that many of the shots I took at first were not in focus. This confused me because focus ability was one of this cameras most highly advertised features. I had not read the manual of course and it turns out that the D7100 has a wide variety of focus modes and settings - after I read the instructions and started setting the focus options to suit the type of shooting I was doing, it has performed flawlessly. That is probably the biggest difference in stepping up to a camera like this from something like the D80. If you know the basics of photography, you can use the D80 with no training. With the D7100 it has so many more capabilities, if you just try to wing it without learning the cameras features first, you will likely be unhappy with the results. I love the ability to store your favorite settings, the dual memory card slots and the shooting flexibility this camera provides. My photos have never been better!
