Nikon D7100 DX-Format DSLR Camera with 18-140mm and 55-300mm Lens Accessory Bundle

التعليق

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!

What a wonderful camera! I shopped for weeks trying to find a camera that wouldnt destroy my bank account, but is higher than a pro-sumer. I think this is a perfect fit. It is a little older and has been officially replace with the 7200, but the WiFi, Bluetooth, and various upgrades did not convince me to spend the extra amount. If the 7100 is any indicator, the 7200 must also be awesome. The kit is well thought through for reasonable portraiture (if you zoom the little lens all the way the look is good) and landscape (if you zoom the little lens to full wide). The long lens is pretty good for wildlife although it could stand to be a little longer. The features are great on this camera and I quickly adapted to use quite a few. Overall I am very happy with this camera and I love to get out and use it.

I got great pics at two air shows and had been quite happy as it replaced a D-7100 I dropped and destroyed. Today I made sure I had two charged batteries and the PNY Elite 64GB chips I use. Much to my dismay, the camera turned on yet would not take a picture in any mode or setting. Even the video would not work. The mirror would not retract either. I changed batteries, no help. I removed the SD cards, no help. The display on top turns on yet no autofocus action and no way would it take a picture. I now have two bookends that say NIKON D 7100. I was a fool.

I bought this as a Nikon factory refurbished camera after using a D3300 for several months and realizing that it would not meet my requirements for much longer. The camera is, as far as I can tell, brand new. I am a technically minded person and found the lack of direct access to camera settings via buttons on the D3300 to be frustrating very quickly. The D7100 provides all this and more for a very reasonable price. It isnt as good as the D7200 on paper but there is such a large price difference and in reality youll be at the extremes of photography when you need the improvements that the D7200 provides. So really this is an amazing camera, you have access to a massive library of lenses thanks to the built in focus motor and the refurbished price is not far above a new D3300 or even D5500 - you cant go wrong here.

I have owned 6 digital cameras; this one puts all,others to shame. It is the most fantastic camera that I have ever used, and the picture quality, at 24 megapixels is breathtaking. I have been taking pictures forever, and have taken thousands of photographs from around the world. It was like starting all over again when I purchased this camera. I had never been able to capture the quality that I am witnessing with this beautiful state of the art piece of equipment. Most reviews wind up giving all kids of comparisons of numbers that pertain to the ISO, shutter speeds, manual verses automatic focus, etc. but I am telling you that the most important feature of any Camera comes down to ease of use, and quality of the pictures taken. You will not be disappointed with this camera. I guarantee you will be repeating the word WOW, over and over when you see the finished product hanging on your wall for all to see.

While Im hoping Nikon will release a D400, I couldnt resist trying out the new D7100. As a working pro who uses both FX and DX format cameras, my first impressions of the D7100 are very positive. My simple summary is that this camera is a bargain and that those already inclined to own the best the DX camera Nikon sells should get one. Having worked for years with the D300 and the D7000 bodies, my perspective on this one is influenced by what I think is good about those two popular cameras. I hoped that the D7100 would really improve in the areas of autofocus, shadow noise, and overall resolution/acuity. This camera has not disappointed me, and has even a few minor improvements I wasnt expecting. Of first importance, shooters of the D7000 will appreciate the big improvements in AF (you probably know how sketchy that camera is to focus, especially compared to the 51-point standard set by most older/current pro bodies). Its fast, accurate, and doesnt get fooled into moving if you recompose. On single focus mode, it simply acquires and holds where you want. And the tracking AF is on par with Nikons pro standard. This is huge for me, since I love the quality of images the D7000 gives but hate the unreliability of its AF. Acquiring focus in low light seems a bit snappier and more accurate than even the D300. The resolving power of this sensor is unlike any DX camera before it. Because the D7100 doesnt have an anti-aliasing/low-pass filter on its 24 megapixel sensor, I knew it would be able to show a perceptible increase in resolving detail over the older D7000, and again I am glad to report it does - IF you use good glass, stopped down a bit, and process from the RAW files. My test shots captured with the Tokina 11-16 and Nikon 70-200 have blown me away. The acuity when zoomed in is night/day compared to the D7000. However, if you use mediocre glass then the only differences youll notice are larger files and slightly better dynamic range. In DX images, shadow noise has generally appeared too stippled even at lower ISO values, rendering a texture that the FX sensors dont have at the same ISOs. The D7100 has definitely improved this. The texture gradient is more uniform and it reminds me of the D600 in this way. Although I havent done tests above ISO 1600, the shadow textures are more uniform and pleasant (natural?) on skin than the previous DX cameras. Shooters familiar with Nikons pro camera ergonomics will appreciate that the D7100 has added the quick magnification/zoom feature to the `OK button on the rear thumbpad. Its great for snappy, quick inspections at defined zoom ratios to check for focus accuracy. This feature is nonexistent on the D7000 and the D600. I find it very handy and preferable to the +/- buttons. Speaking of the +/- buttons to the left of the LCD, I have no idea why Nikon reversed their positions on this camera. Its a small thing but still annoying. Im still getting used to the new viewfinder display, so the jury is out. The two-shot HDR feature isnt what it should be since it doesnt align the images. Id use the bracketing feature on a tripod and be done with it. I like that theres finally a lock button in the center of the program mode dial to avoid accidental switching, which happens too often on the D7000. The rear LDC screen is slightly larger and also a bit crisper to my eyes. The overall fit/finish is solid and secure. I have big hands so I only wish it was the same form factor as the D800 (hey Nikon, give us a D400 already), but at this price Im not complaining. I wish Nikon could squeeze out better battery performance from their cameras, frankly, and the D7100 hasnt improved upon what has become normal for the past couple years. Sorry, but I dont mess with video so I cannot speak to this. As a still image camera (in the DX format) the D7100 has really set a new standard. Even though Id buy a D400 if it came out tomorrow, theres nothing stopping me from enjoying the D7100 today as the best you can get. I feel that the price is low for what it is and can create. Highly recommended...

I am using this primarily for sports pics. I shoot 5 frames per second and am doing high school wrestling and volleyball. these are indoor events are not typically the best light. its about as good as it gets without going to a full frame camera. even at ISO 4000 the quality is pretty good. I am not a pro by any means and I do not sell what I shot but I do give them to the parents of the competitors, they all seem to like what has come out of the camera. pretty easy to use and I have just scratched the surface, this camera can do so many things. there is even a soft focus effect that can be used with portraiture... the pics attached came from this camera within the last month.
