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.
Material prepared Arkady Shapoval.
Tell me, please, If you buy a 50mm 1.8G (with the expectation “for growth, in pursuit of FF” =)), how will this lens behave in conjunction with the D7100? Thanks!
Excellent lead, but! D7100 with a motor (with a screwdriver), and the FF is all with screwdrivers, so do not take G, take D, they are almost identical in optical characteristics, and at a price of D two times cheaper, this is generally the cheapest fifty dollars from Nikon. Check out Arcadia for a review of both of these lenses.
1. I know about the screwdriver and the older 50mm1.8D, but judging by the comparative tests, G has a slightly better definition. But, before buying I’ll think about it) after all, 2 times the price difference =)
By the way, QUESTION: I read somewhere that D - "sharpened" were still under the film, but G - "sharpened" under the number. Is it true? Is there a difference in optical (resolution or transmission, perhaps) capabilities of the G version?
2. But I’m more interested in the viewing angle and focal length when I put the FX lens on the DX matrix! What will be the changes or features of such an alliance compared, for example, if this FX lens was paired with an FX camera?
It is difficult to say what is imprisoned for, but from my own experience I can say that fifty krop on the crop behaves strangely. For example, the background blurs beautifully, but it can be used with a stretch portrait, rather 58 mm Helios is suitable for this. Too narrow for the landscape. Here everyone is advised to have a set of 35mm +50 mm, I played with such a set for a year and a half, plus there are a couple of fixes 105 mm Makrik and 200 mm f4 old man manual. I'm tired of endlessly changing lenses. I decided to sell 50 mm and 35 mm and instead take one 40 mm 2.8 micro. As a universal travel winter I look closely at 18-140.
It’s hard to say about what is imprisoned for a film or a number, I have 50 mm Helios 81 n f2, so the picture from it is more interesting than with 50 mm 1.8 g. It seems to me for the d7100 you need to look for new high-resolution lenses, and not those that are imprisoned for something. And about the viewing angle, you can say so, the picture will be the same as the mm lens, but the viewing angle will be less. That is, for example, 35mm 1,8g will draw like a 35-ka but with a viewing angle of a fifty-fifty, 50 mm will have a picture of a fifty-fifty but with a viewing angle of 75 mm, that's something like this.
Thanks for the capacious answer! All clear. By the way, the first thing I also want Helios 81N in the arsenal))
“It seems to me that we need to look for new high-resolution lenses for the d7100” - that's exactly what I asked, the G versions have a higher resolution, right I understand?
No, it’s not true, the letter G indicates that the lens does not have an external aperture control ring, and resolution is an optical property. Roughly speaking, the lenses are selected and calculated successfully or not. The resolution of the lens can be determined using special test tables (test myrrh). I would not want to start such an extensive topic in such a limited framework. Use a search engine, there are a lot of articles on this topic with pictures and big capital letters on the net :)) a joke. There are quite a few (unfortunately) G-type lenses whose resolution is alas not high. On the site http://www.dxomark.com/ , there are a huge number of tested lenses and cameras, where you can choose a carcass of interest and substitute different suitable glasses for it. And if the camera was tested with the lens of interest, then the results will be displayed in a table. It's just that not everything is smooth with the d7100 camera because of the pixel size on the matrix. For clarity, you can consider the FF matrix Nikon d800, it has 36 megapixels, for example, one of the Hasselblad camera models (medium format, the object of desire for "subjects") has 30 megapixels. And now attention, if you keep the size and density of pixels d7100 and expand them to the FF matrix, you get an FF matrix of about 56 megapixels.
So it turns out that a suitable glass should be carefully looked for precisely among the latest DX lenses that came out after the release of the d7100 or macro glasses, which themselves are specially “sharpened” for high resolution.
Have you ever seen the pictures from these fifty dollars? :) The D-shki has a “absolutely square” aperture of 5 blades, as a result, starting from f / 2, there will be wonderful “nuts” in the bokeh. G has normal rounded. Plus, G focuses quietly, which can be important for certain shots. Plus M / A mode. If finances allow, you need to take just 50 / 1.8G, as a newer glass. Leave D-shka to those who really don't have enough money for anything better. And then you will tell everyone that the nuts in the bokeh are your taste and you like it even more :)
I completely agree with you, for this at one time I did not buy D, but I recently sold G, left Helios 81-n and occasionally uncover it.
And I have the opportunity to take 50 1,4D. How about the nut bokeh? Lens with a class higher than 1,8. They give it for 4000 Russian rubles. Worth it? The arsenal has Helios 81H. I got it for free, but it's dusty inside and scratched. Daytime photos nevertheless turn out well, but evening bokeh with large circles of confusion ... In general, this scratch is visible on the bokeh circles. Thinking about 1,4D - is it worth it?
If for you this amount is not straining, and you really want to, then take it. The farm does not hurt.
For the money, it's worth it. With nuts it is better than the 1.8D, but it still climbs, if I'm not mistaken, closer to 3.5-4. But in general, take this money without hesitation, if, of course, everything is in order with the lens.
“To put it bluntly, the D7100 should focus better in poor lighting conditions. In fact, I didn't notice much difference. "
I noticed. It focuses worse than almost all the cameras mentioned here.
Good site, interesting reviews. There are controversial statements, but many thanks to the author for the work and the collection of information. The site is interesting!
I’ll add on my own. I have already spoken about this camera in the lens section. There was a question on this subject. The camera in my opinion will leave the market soon. The reasons are simple. Small sales of this unit. Even the pros do not take it as an improvised crop and still prefer the D7000. I want to warn and explain simple things to potential buyers.
The pixel size for example on the Nikon D7000 is about 5 microns. On this model, it is less than 4! It is not enough!
What do we have at the output? The smaller the pixel size, the lower the camera's light sensitivity. Any attempts to smooth this out with electronics will lead to distortion and loss of quality.
Let's go further. The smaller the pixel size and the higher their density on the matrix, the higher the noise and there is no getting around it. If on the D7000 we can “bank” both on ISO 800 and 1000, then for the D7100 it will be overkill!
High pixel density will bring out the problem of sharpness at the most running aperture values. Diffraction here will be prohibitive, and you won’t be shooting all the time at aperture values less than 10, and the sensitivity of the matrix will not allow it.
If you wish, you can also shove 50 megapixels into the crop matrix, but just now we can shoot such a camera ?!
The bottom line. I regard Nikon D7100 as a transitional and partly experimental machine designed for “chasing pixels”, risky guys with expensive cameras who shoot “masterpieces” for the author and those who have a lot of money, but have little desire to understand technology.
Today 16-17 megapixels is the upper limit for crop, revolution will not happen in the near future because for this you need to work on improving the pixel system and pixel.
Good luck to everyone!
I read you, Andrei, and I remember that ... someone takes pictures and screams, and someone jerks on the forums, removes garbage, but fumbles through microns. From such successful photographers, no one will think of knowing the size of the pixel and also attaching a focusing system to it and talking nonsense about two-channel mono :) But you are so confident.
And so, to shed light on this nonsense of keyboard nerd. Pros are golden eagles two Canon 5D mark III, or one Canon 1Ds, Nikon D3, D700, D4, Canon 5D mark II. And in reserve can be anything, 450D, for example, which is never removed, but that will allow you to finish shooting with existing lenses in case of force majeure with the main camera. Pros do not consider a backup carcass in any way. It’s you who breed poems here, how it differs there and where the button is a masterpiece. Pros just know how to shoot and they are not interested in much of what you have so botanically mastered. But here you will pinch the Canon EF 85 1.2 L, and the pros will buy, he sees the difference and he needs it. But most of them don’t know the number of lines, they don’t look at the tests, this is dumbness for small people who don’t know how to shoot, but play as a photographer.
Vika, we were pleased :) Radozhiva would have a honor board, I would definitely add you there.
And yet Andrey is right. Less pixel means more noise. At ISO 800, the noise of the D7100 matrix does not fit into any gate, especially on people's faces. Before this camera, I had a Fujifilm s5 pro, where there is only honest 6 MP, but WHAT !!! You look at the photo with Fujifilm, and the eye rejoices, everything is somehow correctly conveyed: the colors are bright, the skin is natural, even the noise of the matrix - and that is some kind of artistic or something. Yes, of course, Nikon D7100 leaves many cameras behind in terms of ergonomics, autofocusing speed and other “modernity”, but it does not have the main thing: it cannot take such artistically beautiful photographs as the Fujifilm s5 pro can. All markers are different in taste and color, and I think there are many people who do not think like me. But this is not a reason (to Vicki's attention), to answer like this, as it was answered by Andrey. It's still mostly a technical forum, and terms like "nerds" and the like. keep to yourself. I give Nikon d7100 a solid four, he is a technical champion, but not an artist, he has no soul.
certainly, the "girl" works professionally on the hairdryer. and he rams the rams so that I can’t keep up with it, even though I’m not a complete cormorant.
even Lynx does not reach such tongue-tied tongue.
Vika, I would also send you to the honors. By professional verbiage you have no equal. In order to pour in terms like from a cornucopia, at least they need to be understood. And who of the pros that will buy it is better to ask them themselves. I do just that. Among my friends, one in France, the other in Hong Kong. About Moscow, I don’t remember at all.
And also note that you do not answer a large number of questions from the readers of the site, and if you try, then as you can see right away, you have nothing in your head besides the names of cameras and optics.
With the Russian language and the presentation of thoughts, the same problem is evident. When there is nothing to oppose, a person begins to get angry and insult others. This is poor quality and doubly bad that Arkady supports you in this. I had a better opinion of him.
There’s nothing to tell you, so instead of a competent discussion, you have slipped below the plinth.
Andrey, more nonsense than you write - I have not seen yet)) Honestly! It's just some kind of horror)) (“go” to the forum http://www.club-nikon.ru/forum/ in the appropriate thread - express your thoughts, and it's also good if Julysha answers you, a person who understands photographic equipment, so few people in the SC understand so much - I'm sure they will laugh at you there, so stop doing nerdiness - and finally start or learn the mat part and continue to develop in photoonanism or still start taking pictures)
Although - what I am writing to you - probably the eaten brain will no longer perceive. Good luck))
Remember that the camera is a TOOL. Learning to use the tool is the main task. The Nikon D7100 is a great camera with the best autofocus and sensor. Correctly (according to your perception of light, color, contrast, WB, etc.), set up the camera and be happy. Can't you? Learn !!! Everyone, without exception, has noises at the lowest ICOs. All internal noise controllers are on, the algorithms are different. Use RAW in Photoshop and everything will be no worse than wild expensive supermarkets. The multi-pixel matrix GIVES the OPPORTUNITY with very good lenses to get excellent quality even when printing on a large banner. Do not? Then D40, D50, D100 will please you in terms of price and quality. By the way, on the D40 that the whale 18-55, that any super-expensive will be almost the same in the photo 15 * 20
Andrew. Koment is clearly a man who did not hold this camera in his hands! And apparently the owner of d7000. I praise his cow .. :-) ISO 1200 is easy. And about defraction, take expensive glasses. With a whale, any camera shoots analogously .. this is not the camera that you buy with a 55mm whale and shoot with an automatic machine. In this option, it’s money down the drain. For an excellent result, be prepared to put two more prices on the lenses from the camera, if not ready, take 5000 and 3000 series models
Just got back from a trip to Egypt. D7100, ISO 1600 - easy.
Vika - they said everything right! I'm amazed!)))
DimDimych, congratulations on the end of the vacation! The same to me in a few days to Europe (Spain, France).
Everything is relative. The smaller the pixel size, the more noise. This is the law of physics, which so far has not been able to overcome any company that produces photographic equipment. As for Vicki, she didn't say anything. There is nothing to admire. To say something here - you need to understand physics, and not show off.
Anonymous. Guessing who was holding which camera ... or not holding it is pointless.
But I have to disappoint you. The word DIFFRACTION is written with “AND”.
This physical phenomenon occurs when light travels through the diaphragm. In addition to its value, the size of the pixel plays a small role. But the brand and price of the lens in this matter play the last role)))).
The site has a lot of tips from people like you. And do not be offended if someone argues their point of view.
For your information, so, by the way ...
The camera is quite difficult to sell in the secondary market. I sold my D7100 for 5 months !!! Almost new apparatus and creatures. cheaper. Single calls were.
Hmm, "scientist" damn it! Tovarischch - go to that forum - write there - and at least I'll laugh at how they will laugh at you there))
Diffraction?)) In fact, now I will give an example from that forum - master it - well, no - well ...
“” I agree completely. A little higher there is my post about printing and rough calculations of the possible consequences of diffraction. I will supplement it a little now. Again, pretty rough and quick counting.
Given:
A mistake of nature d7100 where soap on f / 5.6, and shampoo rushing on f / 8 (I don’t remember who said this phrase, but “huge respect” to this person from our forum)
The crown of evolution d90 (but to be honest, the device is good)
Problem:
Get A4 prints at f / 5.6, f / 8 and f / 11
For d7100:
- we can use a high-resolution printer (let it be Epson) and print with a resolution of 480 ppi, while getting a pixel on paper of 0,053 mm (a person with good vision sees two dots set at a distance of 0,073 mm). I conclude that we get a continuous, analog image.
Check the effect of diffraction. The pixel size of the d7100 matrix is about 4 microns (I do not remember exactly 3,9 like). Airy's disk will be: at f / 5.6 - 2.8 ... 4 microns (depending on the wavelength of light); at f / 8 - 3.9 ... 6.8 microns; at f / 11 - 5,6 ... 9 microns.
That is, when printing up to f / 8, the Airy disk size does not go beyond the details of the image that are visible to the eye, at f / 11, the excess of the disk size over the distinguishable detail is not more than 0,04 mm.
For d90:
- we can use a printer with a resolution of 340 ppi, having received a pixel of 0,075 mm (a person with good vision sees two points set at a distance of 0,073 mm). I conclude that 12 megapixels are enough for A4 printing (remember that the resolutions 480 and 300-360 still differ visually on paper, although this does not matter now).
Check the effect of diffraction. The pixel size of the d90 matrix is approximately 5,4 microns. Airy disk will be, as already mentioned: at f / 5.6 - 2.8 ... 4 microns; at f / 8 - 3.9 ... 6.8 microns; at f / 11 - 5,6 ... 9 microns.
That is, when printing up to f / 8, the Airy disk size does not go beyond the details of the image that are visible to the eye, at f / 11, the excess of the disk size over the distinguishable detail is not more than 0,04 mm.
Based on the above, an additional conclusion can be drawn: d7100 will allow you to print an image of 30x45 cm with a resolution of 340 ppi, having received a pixel on paper of 0,075 mm. In this case, the excess of the size of the Airy disk over the distinguishable detail will again begin with apertures f / 8 - f / 10. Whereas d90 at this size is no longer able to give a part less than 0,1 mm.
Under the condition of printing in minilabs, where the resolution is 300 ppi, the pixel size on the paper is 0,085 mm, we again see that d90 does not work out this value.
As a result, we get that the texture, which will begin to blur on the d7100 starting from the aperture from f / 8 to the d90, will be blurred over the entire range of apertures. But in practice, it is so indistinguishable that it is usually not critical.
Even if you look at 100% crop on the monitor (where the image pixel size is between 0,2-0,3 mm) after casting a 12 megapixel image from d90 to the size of a 24 megapixel image from d7100, we get the same pictures.

I have a D5100, but I really want some buns as in the D7100 I decided to purchase, will they take it out
Sigma 17-70 2.8-4 and Nikon 70-300 this camera? I personally can’t verify it personally, since it is within a radius of 250 km. just nowhere.
Dear experts (I mean those who write sensible comments, but such people are immediately visible, because I’ve been sitting on the site for 2 years now), I ask for help in choosing your first SLR camera. Simple amateur cameras are not for me. Glance focused on 2 models: Nikon D7100 and Canon 7D. I travel a lot, I like to take pictures of nature, family. Nikon D7100 attracts with novelty, Canon 7D repels with well-deserved age. At the same time, the Canon 7D attracts with its shooting speed and magnesium body, while the Nikon D7100 is somewhat annoying with all its modern twists. The lens for a start, and for that and for another camera, is planned to be a universal whale type 18-200. I do not plan to engage in professional photography. Help with good advice. Familiar photographers with whom I communicate, I just confused. Thank you in advance for your help!
As the owner of the 7100 could recommend exactly Nikon, but the Kenon has a focal distance less than the Nikon's, which means that any manual, old, “tasty” lenses through the appropriate adapter will work wonderfully, without problems with infinity. This is perhaps the only argument in favor of the canon. The rest of the 7100 is a super-duper camera.
Yarkiy, thanks!
Everyone is absolutely right ... and techies who count pixels and businessmen who make money from photography ... any picture carries two components - emotional and technical ..., I know photographers who have first taken an amateur semi-format SLR in their hands, who have thoroughly pushed hard-core professionals with the latest full-frame cameras ..., the time changes and the photo itself changes ... .For a layman buying a picture of his child, the main assessment is emotional ... whether you like it or not, pixels and tricks remain aside ... but there are also technical experts whom I would very much like to thank for so valuable information on this site ... try to let a beginner make a choice of photographic equipment today, with such an abundant offer ...
Pavel, you are absolutely right, but the problem is that often the role of “helpers” is played by those who, for some reason, consider themselves a pro. These people begin to give advice on various sites, and about a person who has been involved in photography for more than 30 years, they say that he “did not hold a camera in his hands”.
And all because I tried to explain to them some things in a language that they do not understand. In the end, they call me nerd, but the problem remains.
For a beginner, to give advice, you need to find out why the camera is for him and whether he agrees to study further. That's all.
Andryusha, good afternoon ..., I want to ask you, there is information that the lenses of budget optics, of the last decade, are made of polycarbonate, which eventually become covered with microcracks with the ensuing consequences ... if so, how long does the joy of owning such glass last? Old German binoculars, still in price ..., are indirectly determined by the physical weight of the lens ..., glass is heavier than carbon ..., but what about the resulting resolution (old glass-multipixel matrix), is there a theoretical basis for determining their mutual sympathy ...? but their mutual love, as a mother-in-law, interferes with electronics ...? Explain to the dark ....
You have absolutely correct information. On soap boxes everywhere there is plastic. I was somehow interested in this issue. They say that this was done to reduce the cost of the budget sector cameras. All the same, they do not seem to live long. Plus, of course, in addition to the price, there is less bandwidth for ultraviolet radiation (applies to fiberglass of the latest generation). However, photographers prefer glass mainly due to less distortion and greater vitality. The problem with any plastic is that its throughput decreases over time. On any soap dish you probably noticed it.
Finding information about the glass itself from the manufacturer is very difficult. The same glass is different. I once had a German "Practice" and "Zenith-11,19". LOMOV lenses were better. They are like stone, and the vaunted German suffered from scratches and micro damage over time. Although no one mentioned fiberglass at that time. The defect rate of our lenses was much lower!
But many modern lenses are not clear what they are made of. The manufacturer does not write, and the glass attracts dust too suspiciously. And despite the fact that the NORMAL glass almost does not pass the UF spectrum, it is recommended to wear protective filters. )))What for? Apparently, to eliminate the el.static effect and from mechanical damage.
I have some old glasses. They are still very much nothing, but on the ultrazoom "Fujifilm FinePix HS25EXR" after two years of active holiday use in various types of climate microscratches appeared. There is obvious plastic.
Why are so many looking for old glasses? Pay attention to the peculiar bulk effect, which many write about. Even the banal Geleos44-2 gives some airiness to the image. The reason is most likely in the composition of mineral additives in the manufacture of those old glasses.
Do not use old glass due to inconvenience. We need adapters, not everyone is tuned to infinity, auto settings do not work, etc. If there is an old glass, the desire to experiment, then you can try. The effect may surprise you.
Andryusha, I was surprised about twenty years ago, when I was shooting on Yashka with a 50mm f1.4 zeiss ..., this is what I need now ..., foolishly sold Zeiss, now I regret it ... I want to get Zeiss from Germany, through fellow countrymen 50mm f1.8 to Nikon D-90, I don't know what will work out, but I'll try ... I'm tired of doing crap ... I want air portraits too ... I'm surprised by the quality of the drawing of full-size matrices, the impression is that their developers studied and passed the Unified State Exam in Russia , complete degradation of everything and everyone ... this is felt on this forum too ... it seems that Jen Psaki is right, asserting that her time is coming ...
As for modern lenses, even in expensive optics they use the so-called. "Hybrid" lenses. Yes, this is crap, in which plastic is fused onto the glass. The pros say they are the ones who flatten the image. However, even in modern conditions, it is technically difficult to manufacture a purely cast aspherical element. Nowhere to go.
But I don’t understand another thing, where do the prices for lenses of 200, 300 and more thousand rubles come from!
Here is such crap, for example, costs more than 200 thousand and at the same time has a stub. previous generation: Nikon 200mm f / 2G ED-IF AF-S VRNikkor.
It seems that manufacturing a high-quality lens in the world is akin to a labor feat!
The reason for the airiness in old lenses is in the curvature of the field - smart guy))
I bought it recently and ... .. I constantly forget to turn off the camera, and the battery is still one, I ordered a second one, but until it arrives, does the 7100 have an auto shutdown?
.... and who can tell you how to choose a "fix".
Leonid, do not spare money, buy your own battery pack and enjoy life. Very convenient, you can forget about a dead battery.
Hammer ... DSLRs can be in standby mode for days and almost never lose their charge. If, of course, it is not connected to the computer, then it eats the battery.
You can check yourself by leaving it on for a couple of nights.
The screens are off, but everything else does not eat
Andrey! Sit down, 5 in Russian! The same person writes to you with errors in the form of diffraction! I am aware of what this physical phenomenon is. I would not want to offend anyone ... but you are not just those zadr but also verbiage, in a technical matter they found only a typo prikopatsya. You are 30 years in photography and say that good glasses are not important ??? There was no talk about brands and prices! And about the fact that usually glasses are good in terms of characteristics and quality and are accordingly expensive. By the way, where can your photos be viewed without diffraction and with a bold pixel and 30 years of experience?
I looked after the camera company on the photos posted on the internet. Nikon won with bright colors. And gave himself for the day of jam D7100 (true credit) + 50mm 1.4d. I read the instructions for the camera 4 times. I adjusted the focus in the camera menu by + 5, missed by 2 cm. Added sharpness +1 and saturation + 1.Photos are juicy, sharp, sometimes in dark places (shadows) - noise comes out, but this is if you look through a magnifying glass. From 10 frames - 1 can be unsuccessful. With the help of the wheels you can quickly re-adjust the exposure settings. Recently at the niece's wedding in as a guest, when a lot was drunk and it was difficult to adjust something by hand, I thought of turning on the auto mode. The device was equipped with an sb 300 flash, aimed at the ceiling and ceilings of 7 meters. Everything is fine, the device is worth its money.
I photograph weddings on the Nikon d80, upgrade to the new Nikon d 7100 or used Nikon d700. Help me choose!
Seven hundred definitely
A question for Arkady and everyone who might know. There is a lot of talk about the D7100 shake, blur and diffraction. In the camera settings, you can select the image size 13,% MP. So this is actually the question. When shooting with such settings, the camera shoots with the maximum resolution, and then resizes the image and saves it to the card, or the matrix is reindexed - that is, several pixels nearby work as one pixel, the signal values are averaged and saved, that is, the matrix becomes, as it were 13 MP, simple, with a larger pixel? How does it actually work? ))) Enlighten the layman please)
http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/ru/tutorials/digital-camera-sensor-size.htm
This is about the size of the sensors.
http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/ru/tutorials/diffraction-photography.htm
This is about diffraction.
Everything is very detailed.
Thanks for the interesting links, but the question was somewhat different.) In the camera settings, you can choose the maximum image size - 24 MP (L) 13,5 MP (S). The question is, how does the camera reduce the image? Shoots with a 24 MP matrix and then resizes to 13,5 MP? Or does the matrix switch to a certain mode, when, instead of each pixel, it uses, say, 4 pixels side by side - as one pixel, and the values of tones and brightness are taken off the average and recorded from 4 as from one but large size? There is simply hope that you can increase the diffraction limit by filming at a lower resolution. But if this is just a resize from 24 MP to 13,5 MP, then, of course, there are no advantages other than a decrease in resolution. Not a bad idea, by the way? ))) I just don't know how it actually works in the camera, that's why I ask.
Sorry, sealed up here:) In the camera settings, it is possible to select the maximum image size - 24 MP (L) 13,5 MP (M) and 6 MP (S)
It is clear DimDimych, you just do not want to understand the essence of the question, you are too lazy to read the articles carefully, otherwise you would not have asked the incorrect question twice. It is impossible to “increase the diffraction limit”. Diffraction comes from the fact that by clamping the aperture, we force the light rays to hit the matrix not directly, but at an angle. Imagine cutting the sausage not directly into round pieces, but obliquely, and you get elongated, oval slices of a much larger area. So the light beams at an angle overlap not one pixel, but several, and the clarity of the image falls. And since the matrices are different, then the pixels on them are of different sizes. Therefore, the larger the pixel (up to a certain size), the later diffraction occurs. At 7100, the pixels are very small, so in theory, diffraction starts after an aperture of 5,6. But in fact, this terrible diffraction does not come as death - all of a sudden it is still impossible to see it at aperture 8, and at 10 it is still an acceptable level. But of course, when shooting macro, don't expect to get a sharp and jingling picture at 22 and 18 the same. So do not confuse diffraction with resolution.
Dear Yarkiy, if you read my question carefully, you would not try to poke me into the truths that I knew before))
I am interested in the mechanism for reducing the size of the photo in the camera itself when choosing the image size “Large (24 MP)”, “Medium (13,5)” and “Small (6 MP)” in the camera settings. Let me remind you that we are talking about the D7100.
Does the camera software resize the image after shooting in 24 MP, or is there some kind of hardware mechanism that allows you to immediately get a 24 image from 13,5 MP by “doubling the pixels.” (In fact, you need 4 pixels to replace one) Pro diffraction and resolution can be ignored, I know all this very well. You tell me how it works in the camera.))) But, since no one has ever heard about this or asked such a question, there is still a usual resize with all the consequences. I would like to hear the opinion of Arkady.
When shooting, all the pixels of the matrix work, no one will combine them in any way. It has long been described here. https://radojuva.com.ua/2013/05/jpeg-quality/ Then just the camera resizes the picture. In the case of sRAW, everything is a little more complicated.
Thank you!
it seems that Yarki’s brains are losing brightness;) or maybe an overload from endless answers to posts.
old Ken Rockwell advised switching to a smaller number of pixels on this subject, assuring that the quality of the picture would increase, while he did not go into technical details. I tried, but nothing improved.
here Arkady clarified everything. Now you can sleep peacefully.
Everything is amusing here. One gave good links and became bad. Other
It's all funny. One gave good links and became a bad person. Another gave the same links, but, however, his own - he is applauded.
Yarkiy, no one here will understand what Airy drives are. Although they like to ask smart questions.)))))
Come on, there was no answer to my question on the links, but Arkady (I confess - I was too lazy to look through the blog) immediately shortly and clearly.
Does the photographer need to know about Airy Disks? I think in order to swim well, it is not at all necessary to know the exact chemical composition of water.
In general, I put it in bookmarks. Thanks! There is a lot of other information, very useful and interesting)))
That's just about the Airy disk, I gave you an example above - something you write about - in practice - does not lead to any diffractions - these are only depth of field calculators and others about this frighten people
Theorists - kill yourself already))
I ask without insults.
Yes, nonsense, just DimDimych and I misunderstood each other. And good links of things in themselves can be read by someone who really needs it.
Please tell us about a flash card with a built-in WIFI adapter. How convenient is it to use an external WI-FI unit or can I use an SD card with WI-FI
Thank you.
Very useful site. I read the review and decided to purchase this creation of Nikon. When buying, I realized that to please the pictures I would have to configure the device for myself. Only after that did things go positive. It is really better for beginners to start with taking something simpler. My first prisoner was yes and now I have Nikon D40. In general, I started back in 2001 with the Nikon Coolpix 950. Now I compare the pictures and understand how far the figure has stepped.
If anyone is interested, a little technical information about the burst speed. The information is valid when using two identical Toshiba EXCERIA Type 2 R95-W60mb / s memory cards.
24x16 quality Large 14 bit
RAW + Fine 6kdr / s 4kadra to fill the buffer and two options or a 4-second break until completely reset to memory cards, or the continuation of the series a little more than 1 frame per second.
RAW + Norm is the same, RAW + Basic is the same but flushing the buffer in 3 seconds.
JPEG + Fine speed 6k / s 5 frames per buffer 3 sec reset or 1,5 fps non-stop.
JPEG + Norm + Basic is the same.
12Bit
RAW + Fine 6k / s 5 frames 3s reset or 1k / s to the end of the card (or batteries)
RAW + Norm + Basic is the same.
JPEG + Fine + Norm + Basic 6fps 5 frames 3sec reset or 1,5 fps non-stop.
18x13 quality LARGE
14 bits
RAW + Fine + Norm + Basic 7fps 5 frames 2sec reset to the card or 1,5 fps to the end of the card.
JPEG + Fine + Norm + Basic 7k / s 6 frames 2 sec reset or 2,5 k / s to the end.
12Bit
RAW + F + N + B 7k / s 6 frames 2 sec reset or 2 fps to the end.
JPEG + F + N + B 7k / s 6 frames 2 sec reset or 3 fps to the end.
Then there is a decrease in quality to Medium and Small, in principle, everything is the same but one frame is added to the buffer and the speed of the series continuation is increased by one frame per second. When we get to Dzhipegov in Small, the picture is this: 14 frames without interruption at a speed of 7 fps, and then as Kalashnikov in short bursts of three rounds at the same speed and without stopping until the cards are full.
That something like this.
You would have written the parameters of other camera settings, without them all this is empty data.
Well, yes, you’re right, the settings were with all the improvements, the ISO shutter is on, the noise canceler is on for long exposures, D-Light is full, the picture is controlled in the landscape with sharpening and contrast, everything is in the ISO 100 aperture priority mode, the shutter is 640-800 .
In short, I turned off all the enhancers, rechecked, received one frame plus in the buffer and in continuous shooting after the main series.
Yes, even in the crop mode 18x13, the size is Small, the quality is Basic, the frame did not fit into 14, but 23 frames.
Sorry, but I can't help being impressed by the comments of the “pro” Roma (at the beginning of the comments on this page). A person uses only the youngest cameras of the Nikon line (D40, D3100). He shoots on the machine :) And he calls himself “pro”, because he takes 150000 photos a year (that is, fully depletes the camera's resource). At the same time, he inserts his own five kopecks into the assessment of cameras, which he apparently saw only in the store. I generally keep quiet about grammar. And now for the camera. She would have a rotary display with a new (Canon) focusing system and it would be a "bomb"! Among the crop, this would definitely be the best camera.
“Pro” Roma is a student in grade 7-8, clearly not an excellent student and d40 is an old father who “doesn’t even think about kicking hands!”
As for the camera, Kenon-Kenonovo, and Nikon-Nikonovo, the rotary display is a cool thing, but because of it it is impossible to place a row of such necessary buttons on the left side.
Well, the camera is the bomb.
But after all, Kenon on the 70-ke stuck these buttons up. And also Sony's rotary screen system ... With phase focusing in live view - the most convenient thing. I'm not even talking about the lower angle (children, animals), but even on a tripod it allows you to save money :) What are we shooting from a tripod? Sunset, sunrise, landscape, city at night (well, that's the most common). And with these filming, most often does not play a role at a height of 1m. there is a camera or 1,5m. Here, on an inexpensive tripod, he pushed out one section of his legs and stood rooted to the spot :) And for a “bomb” she would have to increase the buffer. And the fact that Arkady writes about Nikon 300s - I think that this is “nostalgia”. Except for the front panel made of magnesium alloy, there is nothing in it that surpasses this camera (and that's the question - 160g. Weight was thrown off). Autofocus is better. The matrix is better (resolution, dynamic range, noise at high ISO). The display is better. The ergonomics are better. The functionality is better. Video capabilities are better. The rate of fire is higher (in 2007 it was possible to speak of 8 frames per second, and today working with 14-bit RAW is the default. With them, 300 is just a snail). Well, they put in a green pictogram, so that's why it became "amateur"?
I agree, the charms and conveniences of a rotary screen can hardly be overestimated, but it seems like you have to sacrifice something. Although on the other hand, once, using the d5100, at first I always turned the screen over, closed it, and then scored it, got tired. And from the ground for all the time I shot a couple of times.
Recently I bought 7100, before that it was 3100, I shot about 1000 frames, I’m extremely satisfied! It’s a bit complicated in the settings, but I'm learning. I think that the camera is SUPER!
Thanks for the interesting articles. I am faced with a choice. Sony A77 ii, Nikon D7100, Nikon d610. The question is - if you take Nikons, how much is justified by the presence or absence of a low-pass filter 610/7100. How does this affect the quality of the photo? I read reviews, analyze but will not draw the line. It seems that without the filter, the pictures are clearer, but the full matrix is better than the crop, so choose. Kaneshno, I don’t suffer from masochism in looking at photos pixel by pixel. I'm filming weddings while on Sony, so I'm thinking of switching to Nikon, since the Sony is starting to freak out, for example, the shoe has been changed, or they don't know whether they will support bayonet A. But with the release of 77, there will be 2, but this is lyrics. Interested in your opinion on Nikon. Thanks.
If you shoot weddings, then only FF. The 7100 is a great camera, I am very pleased with it, shooting macro and subject. But if they had called for a wedding or some other celebration, then I would have liked to have d610. 24 megapixels is a great thing, but only for FF, and not for crop. When the d610 is released without a filter, I will probably buy it.
Thank you! I also thought about FF and all the same I am inclined to him. Confused a little presence-lack of filters on 610/7100. That braked while reading and no))).
He was also disappointed in Sony due to uncertainty about the continuation of A mount.
I am faced with the choice of Nikon 7100 or Canon 7d.
Among other things, I love to see landscapes, that is, detailing is important.
Also interested in your opinion. Thanks.
I lean towards Nikon. As I wrote above, I look at reviews and read the Spanish photographer Fran Russo, an expensive and popular photographer. So, from his words (no offense to the canonies), Nikon bypasses the speed and accuracy of autofocus Canon (in your case, this is not critical). This guy is neither a Canonist nor a Nikonist, he is a photographer, in addition to weddings, he also tests different techniques for photos. Worked before with Canon switched to Nikon for the reason described above. Recently, in one review, he mentioned the Nikon D3300, very good reviews on photo quality and speed, as well as ISO. It is clear that the wedding can also be removed at 3300, but not as convenient as at 610 and he explained why there. One of the reasons that I remembered is that the buttons on the 3300 are all the same smaller and you don’t configure it for yourself, you have to run a lot on the menu, and this is unacceptable at a wedding. He himself shoots on two D600s, on one 28 1.8G, on the other 85 1.8G, nothing more, not even a flash. Here you have a photographer)))
I don’t want to scold Kenon, all of a sudden it’s really good, but the 7100 in terms of detail is simply unbelievable, given good optics naturally. If it’s possible to shoot a landscape, then you don’t have to sharpen then at all.
Your opinion is interesting. If you had to deal with a Nikkor 24-85mm f / 3.5-4.5G lens (this is a lens for the 610). How is he with the 7100? Will you feel the detail? I hooked it on 5100. I like. The focal point for the crop suits me (when I was on film I shot it, so there is 50mm. In general, for all cases ...) Now I am mastering the figure. I want to change to 7100. Here's what I get at 5100 http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/sichkar-vic/
Unfortunately, I am not familiar with this lens, but if you like it, then this is the best indicator. I looked at the photos, though on the phone, but I liked it anyway. I wonder what city you live in?
Thanks. I have not had the opportunity to compare lenses “live”. I know only the whale (18-55), "Helios-81N" and this. When choosing, I proceeded from: 1. Relatively not dark 2. Range of focal points 3. For a full frame (thus on the crop I solve the problems of distortion, chromaticity, vignetting and “soap” - everything around the edges) 4. Stabilized 5. Price Like - then he gives me 16mp., and whether it implements 24mp. and the absence of a filter in 7100, that's the question.
Confused by photos from Jerusalem and Haifa? :) No, I live in Ukraine. On the Dnieper :)
I use Helios 81n actively, I like the picture. 18-55 of the penultimate model sold together with 5100 and was left without a wide angle. There is a 35mm 1,8, but I do not like it, very rarely use it if you need aperture. Recently I bought a new 18-55 button with a button, just for the sake of 18mm, but in general the impressions are very positive, you can hook the hood and the front lens does not spin, that's the thing for the polarizer.
There was another 18-300, but sold, there are three more glasses 105mm micro 2,8, 200mm 4, and 70-210 f4. If interested, I can describe how they behave on the 7100.
Yes, the Israeli pics thought neighbors.
I gave Helios to my son (I have it in Haifa). He also has 5100. Whale kept for himself a wide angle. A very interesting lens Sigma released 18-35 1,8. It is interesting about 70-210 at 7100. And there is a photo where to see?
