Nikon D7100 Digital SLR Camera Body (24.1 MP, 3.2 inch LCD)

Product Information

If you shoot at sunset, you may want to move the cold tones (B) to the side so that the picture is not too yellow or red. I’m not a pro, its just a hobby of mine, usually use it when travelling and family event. I use 18-55mm kit lens and 35mm 1.8 lens. It will be useful if you have not decided yet whether you want to shoot in JPEG or RAW, because the camera can use different formats on different cards. You can also refer to our Nikon D5500 review if you need more info, but based on what I understood, D7100 sounds like a great fit for you.

Thankfully, the video mode has some useful upgrades. There’s a nice headphone out to complement the microphone input, plus a stereo rather than mono built-in microphone too. The frame rate is no longer fixed at 24fps, with a choice of 24p, 25p and 30p, plus 50i and 60i in 1.3x crop mode. It’s a bit daft that the crop mode must be set elsewhere first, or else the 50i and 60i options are greyed out – why not just perform the crop automatically? There should be more than enough detail from the sensor to produce sharp 1080p video from this 1.3x crop area, but videos in this mode sadly weren’t as detailed as when using the full sensor area. Anyway, I want to become serious with photography and would be great to hear from you (your team) if it is still worth buying the D7100 today? And I finally have a good little prime 50mm (FX) which is a bargain for the price, forget the 1.4 and go for the 1.8. One such older camera model, the Nikon D7100, came out in 2013, which means it is pretty much considered a grandparent at its age of 7. The Nikon D7100 is an impressive DSLR with a 24MP sensor. When it first came out, it was best known for its AF system, which wildly improved upon older Nikon cameras.In your case, I think it makes more sense to upgrade to D7100/D7200, especially if you’ve used one of the D5x00 series camera. Despite its impressive resolution, this DSLR works pretty fast by today’s standards: its burst rate is 6 frames per second, which allows you to shoot sports related events. Now there are more focus points, which in theory should improve the focus accuracy on fast-moving children. Sadly, there doesn’t seem to be all that much improvement to the live view mode, though. Autofocus becomes frustratingly sluggish in this mode, with shot-to-shot times plummeting from 0.45 to a somewhat unacceptable 4.8 seconds in our tests. Live view is obviously still useful for fine-tuning manual focus, and it’s worth pointing out that the D7100 reveals significantly sharper detail than the D5200 when magnifying the live view image. Focus speed Nikon says the Expeed 4 processor is 30% faster than the Expeed 3 processor in the D7100, though this doesn't have a direct impact on the continuous shooting speed. The D7100 and D7200 can both shoot at 6 frames per second, though the D7200 does have a much larger image buffer, a criticism of the D7100. This means it can capture more photos in a burst before it has to stop and finish processing them.

And despite the fact that it was declared (by the manufacturer) as an average solution, the DSLR inherited a lot of great features from older models.You can learn all about why MPB is one of the best used camera stores on the internet in the learn more links below.

In the table below you can see how the major specifications of the D7100 compare against the D7000. I use liveview a lot with a D800 when using a 135mm manual focus lens and tripod. It's 'OK' (takes some practice and zooming in and Ihave to use a Hoodman to view). Its main feature is the absence of a low-frequency filter, which traditionally serves to suppress the moiré effect by forcibly reducing the detail of the image.Auto ISO now takes into account the focal length of the lens, which is very good. (Though, the presence of the stabilizer is for some reason ignored.)

I have a couple of lenses for my D7100, my cousin recommended a Sigma 17-70mm Macro lens which is great for every day shooting, no real need to swap it (this one) I really like the Nikon d7100 camera. I like the controls, ergonomics, and I don’t think there will be problems for me mastering it. The d7200 is a little expensive for me. I find liveview invaluable for low ground shots of fungi and things (especially with my flip out screen) ... of course it's slow, but it's not like the fungus is going anywhere. And I certainly can't get down there that easily these days.

If you have basic photography skills, the set of features of this body can’t but make you smile. As for the technical aspects of it, the camera outshines most of its competitors, including from its own line. After I recover from orthopaedic surgeries, I plan to travel around and take more beautiful photos.
