Nikon D7100 body review
Nikon D7100 is a very interesting camera, it is a fresh breath of air among cameras Nikon DX Series. An absolutely new one with a standard lens came to me to review the Nikon D7100 Nikon 18-105mm 1: 3.5-5.6G ED Nikkor VR AF-S SWM DX IF Aspherical. This review provides information on the camera itself. Nikon D7100 body.

Matrix Nikon D7100
Nikon D7100 uses a 24.7MP sensor, only 24MP is effective, which allows you to take pictures of 6000 * 4000 pixels. Sometimes they indicate a size of 24.1MP, but these different numbers 24.7, 24.0, 24.1 do not matter, anyway, the picture is created using 24.000.000 pixels, so I will talk strictly about 24MP. Most likely, the Nikon D7100 uses the same matrix as the Nikon D5200 и D7200. A complete list of all used sensors (matrices) on the Nikon central control center can be viewed here. True, due to the different matrix body kit and different processing of the output signal, in the end we can get a different image. Now megapixels you won’t surprise anyone, and they are not always so useful, I advise you to look into my section Battle of Megapixels.
The main feature is not 24MP matrix, but lack of an optical low-pass filter in front of the matrix (OLPF - optical low-pass filter, LPF - low-pass filter). Speaking very roughly, the absence of an OLPF filter will help to squeeze the maximum sharpness out of the lens and get the maximum details in the photo. I wonder why the camera was not called Nikon 'D7100E' after Nikon D800E.
The camera can use ISO 100-6400 and expand its value to ISO 25.600 (ISO HI2). There is no great benefit from ISO Hi1, HI2, it is also strange that the Nikon D7100 does not use ISO 50 (Lo 1) how to do it Nikon D600, D610, D800, D800E, D4, D4s an extra ISO stop would be nice. Nikon D7100 works very well with ISO auto control function and can independently select the desired shutter speed for each lens. In automatic mode excerpts for the Auto ISO function, 5 steps can be set for fine tuning, from a shorter automatic excerptsup to a longer automatic excerpts. You can also set the range of the automatic ISO, for example from ISO 800 to HI1.
Another hallmark of the Nikon D7100 is dotted white balance in live view. The function is very useful and you need to get used to it. In Live View, just select white balance PRE, hold down the WB button and wait for the yellow rectangle to appear, moving the rectangle, you need to set it to the point at which measurement will be performed white balance. To measure in this selected zone, you need to press the shutter button, while the camera will not take a picture, but only take a measurement BB.
This is how two cameras look like - Nikon D7100, Nikon D5200 with similar matrices
Nikon D7100 Focus System
Nikon D7100 uses an updated focus module Advanced Multi cam 3500DX with 51 focus points, 15 of which are cross-shaped. Rumor has it the Nikon D7100 is small Nikon D4. Do not believe it. Although Nikon D4 and Nikon D7100 use 51 focus points, they have different focus modules. Nikon D7100 uses Advanced Multi cam 3500DX, While Nikon D4 - Advanced Multi cam 3500FX. The difference is that Nikon D4 can focus with F / 8.0 lenses using 11 points, and the Nikon D7100 using only one point. I have written in more detail about the focus modules here... Still, Nikon D7100 has a paper focusing module that looks better than Nikon D300, D300s, D3, D3s, D3x, as it can work with dark F/5.6-F/8.0 lenses with a single center focus point. To put it bluntly, the D7100 should focus better in poor lighting conditions. In fact, I did not notice much difference.
It's very nice that the Nikon D7100 good viewfinder coverage with focus points, same as Nikon D300, D300s. And most importantly, when working in 1.3x mode, coverage with focus points becomes simply wonderful. Even Nikon D2xs cannot boast of such a high-quality coverage of the focus area in its High Speed Crop mode. In fact, the quality of tracking moving objects in focus, the ability to compose a frame, etc., depend on the coverage area with focus points.
Nikon D7100 performs very well in dynamic focus area selection mode. In this case, 9, 21 or 51 focus points can be used. I advise you to play around with these modes. Another important method of autofocus is the 3D tracking function, which is very useful for shooting objects moving in the frame. 3D tracking works in tandem with the metering system exposurethat can recognize the type of scene being shot and improve the performance of the auto focus system.
Nikon D7100 has fine tuning of focus. You can also set the priority of the focus mode for AF-C, AF-S, in more detail about focus adjustment on Nikon cameras you can find here. Of course, the Nikon D7100 has a built-in focus motor that allows you to use a bunch of lenses AF type.
Optional Accessories for Nikon D7100
Crop mode 1.3x
The Nikon D7100 came up with one tricky mode of operation. You can shoot using the entire area of the sensor in the normal DX mode (24 x 16 mm), or you can select the crop mode 1.3 x (18 x 12 mm). In 1.3x mode EGF lenses equals FR multiplied by 2. For example, if you install fifty dollars on the Nikon D7100 Nikon 50 mm f / 1.4G AF-S Nikkorthen EGF becomes equal to 100 mm. This is logical, because 1.5 x 1.3 \u1,95d 2 (approximately 1.3). This mode can save some money for those who like to shoot from afar. In XNUMX mode, you can take pictures 4800 by 3200 pixels (15.3MP)That is enough even for serious post processing. Personally, I liked the mode because of the increase in the coverage area with focus points and the increase in shooting speed up to 7 fps. By the way, this mode also works when shooting video.
1.3x mode the inactive area does not darken in the viewfinderfor example in the camera Nikon D2xs in the high speed crop mode, the inactive area is darkened, this increases the usability of such a cropped mode. To start the 1.3x crop mode, just press the INFO button and select DX <-> 1.3x there.
Two brothers - Nikon D7100, Nikon D7000 with 18-105 VR lenses
Nikon D7100 Speed
The camera can shoot at a speed 6 frames per second, the predecessor had the same speed Nikon D7000. But there was an opportunity expand the shooting speed to 7 frames per second in 1.3x mode.
Attention: 7 frames per second in 1.3x mode is only available when shooting in JPEG or RAW 12 bit, only 14 fps is available in RAW 6 bit mode.
Attention 2: in normal DX mode, 6 frames per second is only available if RAW 14 bit mode is turned off. If you shoot with RAW 14 bit quality, then the maximum speed is only 5 frames per second.
In total, with the best image quality (RAW 14 bit, RAW 14 bit + JPEG), the shooting speed is lower than that of Nikon D7000 with the same settings. Where is the world heading?
In general, this speed will be enough for almost any situation. 7fps is pretty good, but still not 8fps like older models Nikon D300, D300s, D700.

Buffer
The buffer at the camera is small. With one memory card, if you turn off all additional functions that improve the quality of pictures, such as
- Active D-lighting
- Auth. distortion management
- Under. noise for lengths. exposure.
- Under. noise for high. ISO
- Auto ISO
That in JPEG mode is placed in the buffer
- 9 shots, JPEG L optimal quality
- 12 shots, JPEG L size priority
- 12 shots, JPEG L optimal quality in 1.3X mode
- 15 shots, JPEG L size priority in 1.3X mode
- about 4-5 JPEG pictures L Optimal quality with all additional functions switched on at maximum at ISO HI2
RAW:
- 6 shots, 14-bit, lossless compression
- 7 shots, 14-bit, conventional compression
- 7 shots, 12-bit, lossless compression
- 8 shots, 12-bit, conventional compression
- 7 shots, 14-bit, lossless compression, 1.3x mode
- 8 shots, 14-bit, normal compression, 1.3x mode
- 8 shots, 12-bit, lossless compression, 1.3x mode
- 10 shots, 12-bit, normal compression, 1.3x mode
- 5 shots, 14-bit, lossless compression, DX RAW + JPEG L quality priority
- about 3-4 snapshots, 14-bit, lossless compression when all additional functions on ISO HI2 are turned on to the maximum
It turns out that the maximum buffer can hold in RAW format only 10 shots, and with the best shooting quality '14 -bit, lossless compression '- the buffer contains total 6 shots. Due to the fact that the pictures are very heavy, the camera after 6 pictures in RAW (NEF) format will not take the next frame until it writes at least one picture to the memory card from the buffer. With my ADATA SDHC 32GB class 10 card, the camera pauses for a long time while shooting. I checked if using two memory cards, this does not save the situation with the camera stopping during serial shooting. In order to maximally prolong burst shooting, you should use the fastest memory cards, or shoot in JPEG.
RAW files with 14-bit color depth, lossless compression in DX mode weighs up to 40MB. Unlike professional cameras, such as Nikon D300s - Nikon D7100 cannot use uncompressed RAW format. For huge, heavy files on the camera, you can find two nests for cards of type SD, SDHC, SDXC UHS-I... You can set up work with cards for:
- Overflow. When the first card is filled, recording is made on the second.
- Reservation - the same picture is recorded on both cards. Very useful for capturing very important events, where you need to ensure that the data is not lost in any way.
- Record RAW on one card, and JPEG files on another. Just a convenient feature.
Nikon D7100 shows off its super performancewhich he gets through the EXPEED 3 image processing system. Roughly speaking, EXPEED 3 is the processor that does all the calculations in the camera. But in fact, this EXPEED 3 cannot squeeze out 6-7 fps at 14-bit color depth. If EXPEED 3 is as good as they write, then I could have worked hard and removed this limitation without spoiling the overall good camera performance.
It's strange for me that Nikon cannot normally solve the speed problem with 14-bit color depth, this problem is still very acute in models Nikon D300 и D300s, forcing them to work at a snail speed of 2.5 frames per second. And then she migrated to Nikon D5300, D5500 и D7200.

Shooting, metering system, turn-on speed
Can be shot at shutter speeds from 30 seconds to 1 / 8000 withit’s good that the Nikon D7100 has no stripped down excerpts in 1/4000 s, which is set to Nikon D600. The camera shutter must work at least 150,000 cycles - pretty good for an amateur camera. Also, Nikon D7100 uses independent control of the mirror and apertureThis allows a very small shutter lag. The lag is only 0,052 s... Unlike many cameras, the Nikon D7100 may not lower the mirror to capture the frame in Live View - it will simply release the shutter. In other cameras, for example Nikon D90, D700 responsible for controlling the mirror and aperture general mechanism, which operates in a standard cycle and the Live View should always lower the mirror, only after which shooting can be performed.
Measurement exposure based on 2016-pixel RGB sensorsame as cameras D600, D7000, D5200. In more detail about measurement exposure can read here. The camera can easily work with non-chip lenses, for example, with old AI-S lenses or with Soviet lenses. You can configure the soft key to quickly select a lens from the list.
With one battery charge, the camera can easily squeeze over 1000 shots. The number of photos that can be obtained on a single battery charge depends on many factors. By the way, the EN-EL15 battery itself is exactly the same as that of Nikon D800,D800E, D600, D610, D7000.
У D7000 there was a cover for the display :)
Video
In normal mode, you can shoot with a maximum quality of 1920 x 1080; 30p, 25p, 24p or 1280 x 720; 60p, 50p format H.264 / MPEG-4 AVC. It is important that in 1.3x mode you can shoot video with quality 1920 x 1080 60i, 50i... You can choose high or normal video quality. It's also nice that the Nikon D7100 has a built-in stereo microphone. In AF-F focus mode, continuous focus tracking is available when shooting video, tracking focus works just awful, When recomposing an AF-F frame, it often does not respond at all. Recording video on a DSLR camera with auto focus is a very unpleasant task for me, it’s better to use manual focus when shooting a video.
To shoot video, you must set the Live View lever to 'camcorder' mode. Recording is done using the red button next to the shutter button. It is possible to record video via HDMI to an external device without video compression, and work via HDMI with a large TV while Live view is on. There was no HDMI cable in the package, I really wanted to, but could not test this function to the level of its convenience.
In the manual control mode of the camera 'M', shooting video with manual control is available excerpts and ISO. Exposure can be set from 1 \ 30 to 1 \ 8000 seconds. When shooting a video, you can immediately change the ISO value. It is convenient to shoot video in manual mode and the Auto ISO function is on. In P, A, S modes, you can shoot video and make corrections exposure for video using the '+ \ -' button on + -3 ev In other scene modes, correction exposure not available.
Attention: while recording a video do not change aperture value, which will be filmed, therefore, you need to set the aperture value before turning on Live View.
Display, housing
Nikon D7100 has a new display with 1.229.000 points and measuring 3.2 inches (8cm). The number of dots on the display of the Nikon D7100 is even higher than that of the Nikon D4 / D4s, D800 / D800E, D600 / D610. It is also very important that the display itself is made on the basis of an RGBW matrix. Prior to this, the display matrix was manufactured using conventional RGB pixel technology (red green blue - red, green, blue). The new technology allows for better display of information in bright light.
New matrix on the display Nikon D7100
The display of the Nikon D7100 turned out really шикарный. But the display does not have a protective cover, such as Nikon D90, D700, D7000.
That's not all, the new Nikon D7100 uses information display in the optical viewfinder. Now bottom info bar glows white, not green, new organic EL technology has improved the perception of information in bright shooting conditions and reduced the 'brakes' of such a display in cold weather.
Indicators of a new type based on EL are shown in yellow
The case at the camera is half done magnesium alloy. The case has special rubber seals. The most important thing Nikon D7100 has weather and dust protection, it is alleged that camera security is no worse than D800, D300s. The camera is pleasant to the touch, well assembled. The front and rear control dials are rubberized. The camera has a comfortable grip. In severe conditions, I did not test the camera :), but for complete dust and moisture protection, appropriate lenses are needed. I don’t know where to look at the list of dustproof or waterproof Nikon lenses.

Sample Photos
All photos were shot on a Nikon D7100 and lens Nikon 85mm f / 1.8D AF Nikkor. Photos without processing, on-camera JPEG Fine L, VI, only reduced to 3 MP and data imprinted EXIF. Here is the original ISO 6400 image (VI, matrix metering).
Useful Features and Functions
- Active D-lighting, automatic control of chromatic aberration and distortion. True, these functions reduce the number of frames in the series, although the official website says that EXPEED 3 copes with this.
- Optional monochrome display for quick camera use. The display has a green backlight, the backlight is turned on using the camera's power button.
- HDR with different levels, you can set Moderate, Normal, Amplified, Super Amplified and Auto level. The camera takes two pictures in a row and combines them into one.
- For lovers of photo processing and shooting with various interesting filters in the Nikon D7100 installed a whole bunch of them. There are even two effects for shooting video.
- For easy camera setup without extra efforts, there are special automatic modes, such a set: Portrait, Landscape, Child, Sport, Macro, Night portrait, Night landscape, Party, Indoors, Beach, Snow, Sunset, Twilight (almost a saga :)) , Dawn, Pet Portrait, Candlelight, Flower, Autumn Colors, Products. I am often asked if a level camera is suitable for a beginner Nikon D7000, D7100 - I answer that it will do, now you understand that it will be easier for a beginner to shoot with such a huge set of automatic modes.
- Ability to use the booster MB-D15. Can connect the Nikon D7100 from the network using an EH-5b AC adapter with an EP-5B connector.
- I like very much shooting mode locks on the control wheel. Some write that this interferes with quick access to different shooting modes, but in fact this is a very useful function. Very often you can accidentally knock off the shooting mode, for example from 'A' to 'M', which can lead to a bunch of defective photos. I really missed such a blocker on my Nikon D90.
- Outputs for an external microphone, USB, HDMI, 3.5 output for headphones. Another connector for controlling the camera.
- Flash Nikon D7100 can remotely control other external flash units. You can read more in the section Nikon CLS. Nikon D7100 also supports fast synchronization with external flash units, in more detail here. Minimum sync with the built-in flash is 1/320 s.
- The camera can work remotely using the WR-1 module or the WR-R10 + WR-T10 kit, which use radio control. WR-1 allows you to remotely control almost all the functions of the camera. I did not use this device, but it should be something interesting. Also, the Nikon D7100 can use the WU-1a adapter to transfer files and control the camera using devices based on iOS, Android. And you can also use the UT-1 module to transfer data from the camera using WLAN (wi-fi). And finally, you can use the GP-1 / GP-1A to record GPS data for each shot. In short, they made a lot of new trinkets for the camera, now the main thing is to deal with them all.
- The virtual horizon in Live View and in the optical viewfinder. True, you need to try to turn on the virtual horizon in JVI.
- Interval Timer Shooting multiple exposure.
- Of course, the camera has a matrix cleaning system.
- Nikon D7100 has 3 programmable buttons, only the functions that can be hung on them are not very useful in operation.
- In RGB view mode bar charts You can view the histogram for any selected image fragment.
- You can set the center button in image review mode to quickly enlarge the image. This is a very, very useful feature. I advise you to turn it on. This is done using the f1 setting -> View mode -> Zoom on / off. -> desired magnification. The same can be done for fast Live View zoom. In shooting mode, I advise you to set the button to 'Select center. focus points. ' (the third trick is in this article).
- Bracketing exposure, white balance и ADL.
- The camera uses a pentaprism with special enlightenment in the optical viewfinder. Coverage of the field of view is 100%.
- Quiet shooting mode 'Q'. And modes for U1, U2 for convenient customization of the camera.
- The easiest method to remotely control the shutter is to use the remote ML-L3. The camera has two remote control infrared signal receivers, front and rear.

Nikon D7100 Personal Impressions
The camera is great, but still I expecting an heir Nikon D300s with its full magnesium body, 8 fps, and a bunch of fine useful little things, as a result received a very good upgrade Nikon D7000. Because Nikon D7100 is still namely an amateur camera. It is very strange that the Nikon D300s are not debited, but they also do not replace it. Users Nikon D300, D300s are forced to either go full frame or go down to level D7100. The same situation is with Canon, where the advanced 7D can not be replaced with a new APS-C camera. Apparently, a serious plot is being prepared against photographers who want to use the highest quality APS-C cameras.
Nikon D7100 is an amateur camera, this indirectly confirms the location of the camera on the official sites
The division into classes is not only a convention, but also a huge number of subtleties, about which it is sometimes very difficult to write, but which with experience become very useful and felt in practice. Therefore, be extremely careful which camera to buy.
In general, the situation with the choice of a good advanced Nikon camera has become more acute. Of the new advanced Nikon cameras, I personally see a dilemma - either Nikon D600 / D610 with its full frame and 39 focus points in the center, or the Nikon D7100 with a cropped matrix, but with an excellent focus system and a bunch of small buns. Personally, I believe that the D7100turned out very pretty, with fewer claims than Nikon D600. And if earlier the issue of switching from D300 / D300s on the Nikon D7000 was controversial, now the D7100 should not disappoint owners D300 / D300s (though disappointing though).
UPD: many do not like the color in Nikon D7100 pictures, especially skinton (skin color in portraits). There is a specificity with color.
To whom there is little information, I advise you to look at the reviews (part in English):
- Classic review from DPreview
- Wikipedia no surprise
- The camera scored 83 points on DXO
- Here comparison on snapsort.com with the D7000 и comparison with D7000 on dxo

Conclusions:
Nikon D7100 - best advanced amateur DX camera for 2013 (at the time when I write a review about it). Nikon D7100 in 1.3x mode has best viewfinder coverage with focus points, does not have a low pass filter and can accelerate to 7 frames per second. Here's what's new in the Nikon D7100:
- New 3.2-inch display with 1.229.000 dots of the new RGBW type
- Spot metering white balance in real time via live view
- New WR-1 radio remote control, new MB-D15 battery pack
- New UT-1 Wireless Fast Data Device
- The new Advanced Multi-CAM 3500DX focus sensor is the first Nikon DX camera to focus with 'dark' lenses up to and including F / 8.0.
- New mechanism for separate mirror and aperture control
- The new 1.3X framing mode, which also works in video mode (before that, among DX cameras, something similar was only in Nikon D2x, D2xs)
- New i-button control (in addition to the Info button)
- The first DX camera without a low pass filter
- New organic EL display for the optical viewfinder (instead of Transmissive LCD)
In general, it turned out to be a good camera. If there is money, then as an advanced amateur Nikon DX camera recommend Namely Nikon D7100, perhaps in the choice will help here is such an article.

Excellent visibility. The body of the 7100 is absolutely identical to the 600. In the “park” I have a Nikon D600 in conjunction with a NIKKOR 24-85 and an old Nikon D60 in conjunction with a “fix” NIKKOR 35 / 1,8 ...
Tell me, how does 24-85 / 2.8-4 behave at 24 megapixels?
Thanks for the review, but the question remains:
Quote- "thanks to the Paparazzi chain of stores"
I went to the website of this store to see the price of the Nikon D7100, and what surprised me there is that it’s two absolutely identical cameras but at different prices, or I don’t understand something?
Nikon D7100 body Price 9512 UAH.
Nikon D7100 body Price 10086 UAH.
The prices are different depending on the warranty. In your case, this is 1-n or 2-year, that's all.
Thanks, now it’s clear))
Offsite “Paparazzi” does sometimes indicate slightly different prices than they have in real life (some kind of internal confusion they have), so call and clarify. And so the guys are serious - they won't let you down :).
So I want my first DSLR and I just can’t decide on a d7000 or d7100. I'm going on vacation soon wants to buy a DSLR and some good objective so that if the d7100 then the photos were high-quality and then I read different things. Please tell me what to do. I myself am more inclined towards the d7100 lens so far I do not know which one to take so as not to be disappointed.
that 7100, that 7000 - if you are not a pro or advanced amateur, and do not understand all the intricacies of modern CZK, you’ll notice the difference, except in money. The main part of the glasses from Nikkor is made at a high level, or other lenses, what tasks do you pursue, only you know, this is why it becomes difficult to help you in this matter. but you can still.
My first SLR was the D3100. After the soap dish, hopped with joy. So, take any, you’ll still be satisfied. And if you plan to earn with it, then immediately D600.
you can bomb and with D40, the main thing is that the experience would be
Tell me, if I buy good 35mm and 50mm fixes for this camera, will it be enough for travel or can I do without a zoom lens like 18-200.
I would take 18-105 + 50g a very good budget travel kit, because pulling a bag with a camera is not very convenient and the main thing is not how many lenses you have in the bag, but what kind of photographer are you
Tell me please. Is it possible to buy an AF 18-105mm F / 18-200 XR lens instead of the Kita 3.5-6.3 AF Or are these different things ???
can. these are different things.
Are you burning!
yes you can.
18-105VR and 16-85VR what is the difference
in the viewing angle of 16mm, not 18mm, as well as in the presence of the lens (16-85) 3 aspherical lenses and 2 glasses with ultra-low dispersion
Nikon D 7100 is an excellent device !!! Unless of course your hands grow from where you need to!
with correctly sprouted hands, even any ancient digital SLR will work wonders
I need advice!
It is possible to purchase 7100 or 300s, which is better to take?
7100 here and nothing to think
Arkady, I am facing a choice of Nikon D7100 or Canon 70D, please advise.
And I’ll take a 50 1.4 lens, but I don’t know if it will be alone, will it be enough for me?
for nikon photography, for canon video recording,
you can take it like this: 18-105 is not a bad station wagon and 50 1.8 g is a good portrait, this set will cost a little more than one 50 1.4g
But no. Nikon also writes awesome video. It has a lower bitrate, but it is not visible either on the body or on computer screens. Checked.
So it’s like that, only Nikon has no tracking autofocus in the video compared to Canon.
In general, if you shoot with great flu or use manual focus, you can shoot video on Nikon no worse.
1. And what is $ 1199 for the body, in 2013, I can’t get 2 in one?
2-18 is it a kit?
3. How big is the difference between 50 1.4 and 50 1.8 except $
wagon to a loved one is a very suitable thing18-105 or something else may even be more light strong, it should be, because you do not always want to run there constantly, especially if you are on vacation (sea, forest, nature). also having one fix with a 50mm focus lens, feel the grip of a wide angle (18-35mm), and he’ll turn the need
Poltina naturally gives beautiful prints, but if you are not prof. or an advanced amateur, you’ll be able to constantly shoot at a fully open aperture 1.4 and get a good result, this will require a certain skill and understanding of all the subtleties of the work of the czck
there is a difference between 1.4 and 1.8, but it is not large, and for a beginner it is not at all noticeable
They give a completely different picture.
Understood thanks. And you would advise 18-105? And by 1. Comment pliz
According to 1. Or in another way: how bad the video is in the D7100 and can the 70d Kenon really take the worst photo compared to any Nikon, do not take FF.?
Why guess? All tests have already been done, tech. data here:
http://snapsort.com/compare/Canon-EOS-70D-vs-Nikon-D7100
Tell me what to do, a month ago I found spots on the pictures, changed the lens, the spots remain, everything is clean on the mirror, I cleaned the matrix, according to the instructions, it did not help, I opened the shutter, and these spots on the infrared filter, but they do not look like dust, they look more like on frozen drops of water, the question is ... .. How touching is this? And how to deal with it? Thanks in advance
the best thing is to take it to the service for cleaning the matrix.
Greetings! There was a need to change my 300ki. There are new d7000 or d7100 options, or second-hand d300s. Which is better to take? I do not plan to switch to a full frame yet.
something at night, d7100
took this camera. sort of started to understand the settings. just do not understand some things; at shutter speed 1/8000 shot in black. and with flash sets 1/250. silent shutter mode is far from quiet. Thanks if you answer.
In the room, if I understood correctly, there is no need to shoot at such a short shutter speed. The image is black because too little light hits the image sensor. Such exposure is needed only on a very sunny day, if you do not want to cover the diaphragm. But if you want, you can increase the ISO to a close and see your miracle picture by 1/8000.
I’ve been photographing 2 years on d3100, lenses 35mm 1,8, 18-105vr, a couple of Soviet lenses, I’m between two lights, d7100 and d600, I’m afraid to switch to ff because of expensive lenses, I photograph portraits, staged photography and 20% reportage shooting, the rest on the crop and buy another 85ku or take the FF camera and save up the lens for half a year ??
While reading, the whole table filled with saliva))) from d3100 grew, and already wanted to go to 5200, but now definitely 7100)))
Take it you won't regret it. I also switched from 3100 to 7100 this summer. Very satisfied. While. But as Arkady said, the crop is a dead end. And sooner or later you will have to go full frame. Only the d600 didn't really impress me. The same 7100, only the frame is wider and a little, a little sharper shoots. And then, if you look closely. So, it's not in vain that he sits in the amateur. We'll have to save up for d800.))))
By the way, I also suffered for a long time between 5200 and 7100, but I did not hold 5200 in my hands, so I don’t know how much worse it is. But 3200 held. There, for example, the shortest exposure is 1/2000. This is a dead end, so a dead end.
All amateur-level cameras, including the D3200, have a minimum shutter speed of 1/4000 s, please do not mislead people.
I’m switching to Nikon from another system. I’m looking at the D7100 until I find about Nikon lenses (and others) that could fully reveal the capabilities of the sensor used on this camera.
I recommend that you first consider the question of the photographer, who could reveal the capabilities of the sensor. Let them bloom, develop them, advance in life.
Thank you. I just haven't thought about a purely technical issue before. In the race for pixels earlier, to put it simply, the lenses were far ahead of the matrices, and now, to feed modern matrices, not every lens is suitable. That is why I would like to increase the level of knowledge.
To be honest - here yafig knows. There were articles about this, and a detailed comparison of the resolution of lenses with matrix pixels, but this is all “very vague”.
For myself, when I hopped with similar questions, I decided the following things:
1. for matrices of 24 pixels and so, top or medium (not whale and old) lenses should be enough for ordinary tasks. Whales on the side, manual whales - based on sample results.
2. If a change of technique is necessary - I will not bother with crops with pixels larger than 14-18, unless “there is only no choice and there will be nothing besides them”, simply because from my point of view the minuses outweigh the pluses so far, and in this In this case, I will aim either at a full frame, or at good oldies like D300-d300S.
Arkady, a wonderful and informative resource, thank you very much!
If it does not complicate, please answer a small quiz :)
Finally, I decided to replace my D40 with a whale 18-55 without a stub, which served faithfully for five years.
I photograph 90% on tourist trips, mainly the interiors and territories of hotels (I work in the tourism sector), landscapes, city sights, myself against their background, etc.
I like everything about the D7100 except 24MP and, above all, because of the possible shake - because of the time limit, sometimes you have to take pictures in a hurry. Is it really so difficult to remove the subject from your hands? The second point is the weight of the photo in equal format, in the review you indicated 40MB. I photograph in equal terms, but I don't need such a volume. Is it possible to shoot in equal terms, but at a lower resolution? For me, this is also important because I take 600-700 pictures a day, and so on for 7-10 days in a row - I will have to store all this somewhere. Thought to buy two 32 GB cards or might that not be enough? Please tell me if there will be a noticeable difference in quality if instead of a kit kit I take a carcass with a Nikkor 16-85mm f / 3,5-5,6G VR? Limited in funds - vacation on the nose. Perhaps for my needs it would be more expedient to take in addition to the kit Nikkor DX 35mm f / 1.8G AF-S?
Thank you in advance!
1. Shake is treated with a slightly shorter shutter speed, ISO camera allows. I do not consider this a serious problem. The bottom of this can not be noticed at all.
2. You can shoot RAW 12 bit with normal compression, the files will be much smaller.
Thank you Arkady!
Please express your opinion on the lenses. For a two-week sightseeing trip (China), is it better to have one better 16-85 or 18-105 + 35?
Better still 18-105 +35 1.8. If you shoot in the afternoon, then on the covered diaphragms 18-105 even very good results can be squeezed out.
Thank you, Arkady! Today I made an attempt to purchase 7100. We agreed on an official guarantee from Nikon Ukraine, but it was not there. Did you offer, as an option, a guarantee from an official service center? Perhaps they faced, it's the same thing? My D40 came with a yellow insert with a hologram. I bought the 35th 1.8 so far, in case it does not grow together with a new carcass and will have to fly with the D40. Claim to be official. White insert, with hologram, Importer of the Russian Federation, Distributor Ukraine Nikon Europe BV
after the previous one ... two cards of 32 GB per day. On D40, I filled in a 4-gig card in a day - then merged it onto a laptop. Taking into account the file size at 24Mp, their number per trip and taking into account 4-5 such trips per year, where can we get so much storage space? :)
Take the D300S or the same D700. )) or D3100 / d5100 (the same D40 with only a large number of focus points and a simplified menu).
and the problem with the size of the rav will be solved by itself.
Lynx, thank you for your response! The 300s is undoubtedly a great device, but taking a discontinued model is somehow not a good idea ...
But sho, it will work worse from this, why?
Arcadia has it like D80 and D40 - and nothing, everything is beautifully filmed. )))
I have 350d and 8008s)
Guys, please help! I plan to purchase a D7100, please advise which lens to take. What interests you: Portrait shooting, beautiful bokeh, sequential shooting, shooting in poorly lit rooms without ripples and daubs, i.e. good aperture .. I definitely will definitely take the Nikkor DX 35mm f / 1.8G AF-S fix, but the question is which one to take the second .. I thought about 18-105 Kitov’s, do not tell me how good it is and how much it will suit my purposes? Will it pull poor lighting? Or maybe take 16-85? What's better? Helpeeeeeeeee !!!!
If money is not too tight, take 16-85 for walking, if the budget is limited to 18-105, it is not bad, it loses quite a bit in relation to 16-85. Portraits - 85 (you can also 50) and above. Landscapes and architecture from 8 to 24, here the luminosity is not in the first place (although it does not interfere). Happy shots!
Of the most universal, the most acceptable for the Sigma 17-50 mm f2.8 EX DC OS HSM crop
Photos of this Sigma on different cameras - http://www.flickr.com/photos/gerrit75/6344411392/in/photolist-8xcwPx-aECLtj-bRDPSz-bUscvG-dvXHA8-dvXLUM-bMMEFD-9r6dMN-aQaz56-aeaMBS-c8f9Zj-bkYYzr-bkygAM and no matter how "thirty Friday" is needed ... If funds appear, then buy a good "eighty Friday" ...
Arkady, I’m renting for Nikon d5100. I think to change the carcass. Do you think it makes sense to change it to d7100 ?? Have you noticed an improvement in the BB on the machine in the d7100?
