The Best DX Camera Nikon Ever Made

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2013

I have only had this camera or a week now, but I have to put in a review because it is just that good!

Nikon did an excellent job with this camera. I have shot about 500 pictures and different events over the last week and the image clarity and detail is superior to the D3100 and D5100 that I have had in the past. Outside photography is really easy with any camera, so I wanted to do a real comparison to indoor image quality with limited lighting so, I snapped on my 1.8G lens and went inside to shoot an event and I got outstanding results. The depth of color is amazing and the detail in the images were just amazing. Removing the low pass filter helps this camera excel in the low light environment excellent move on Nikon's part. The grain is smaller at identical ISO's compared to the D5100.

The camera body is laid out well. They squared things off in comparison to the D5200 thats out now, and changed the LiveView switch over to a button which I like. Everything seems to be just in the right place for my hands. I don't have really large hands so it just works.

I did get this camera with the kit lens, since it was immediately available versus the body alone. I must say that I'm impressed with the kit lens. it only goes down to 3.5G at 18mm which isn't bad but if you want to reach out and grab a shot at 105mm your aperture moves up to 5.5 which requires a shutter speed adjustment or ISO boost to get the shot. Fortunately adjustments in manual mode are quick and easy since you have 2 quick adjustment dials, and ISO adjustment is right there at your left finger. I didn't like that the default setting is to see the shot count on the viewfinder versus ISO, but its a quick change in the menu system to make the ISO your default display option.

Another awesome feature that was added is the white balance adjustment. Now you can frame up your reference shot, shoot a gray card in that scene, select the gray card in live view and make the WB adjustment right there and save that as one of the presets for the shoot. No more batch editing in Lightroom. Totally awesome!!

The only gripe I have on the camera right now, and its not on the camera itself is that Adobe Lightroom hasn't been updated yet to read the RAW files from this camera. I can read them in photoshop but thats a 1 by 1 process and I need to get them into Lightroom so I can do some batch processing. Knowing that shortcoming, I shot RAW+JPEG all week so I could still get them into LR and get the photos out to clients.

If you are looking for an excellent camera for DSLR photography and don't want to make the plunge in FX format. This hands down is the best DX format camera on the market PERIOD. Don't look anywhere else.

UPDATE: Used the camera to shoot some 1080P video. In manual mode you have full control over the ISO, fStop, and Shutter Speed. Having full control over your exposure for video is awesome. Haven't used a DSLR for video work before, but now I can see why its so popular. You have easier access and control over everything. Its even better than my pro HD camcorder that I own. Can't wait to get outside this spring and see the quality of video with lower ISO's. Had to shoot between 2000-4000 ISO to get good exposure at 4.5g inside with contrasting light and dark areas in the room I was shooting in.

Good starting SLR

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2014

As a photographer, I find that every couple of years I need to upgrade cameras to keep up with the rapid advancement of technology. Last year I purchased a Nikon D7100, and immediately fell in love with it. The D7100 is a brilliant 24.1Mp powerhouse that can cover both the basics, to the more advanced camera functions.

The shutter speeds span an impressive range, from Bulb to 1/8000. The camera's lowest and highest standard ISO's are 100, and 6,000, but Nikon also has built in high range ISO sensitivities, which can max out at 25,600. The meter features a 2,016 pixel RBG sensor, which does an excellent job for exposure metering.

The camera has plenty of uses for both experienced and novice photographers. In my experience with the camera, it has always been best to run the camera on full manual control, unless dealing with active motion shots, such as you would find in sports.

As with most dSLR's, there is a level of fall-off for novice photographers, and while this camera shoots well on auto-features, using the camera's adjustable functions will always provide a better picture. One of the other reasons to shoot in full-manual, is that the auto-focus speed is rather slow. If you will be shooting faster shots, using the auto-focus to set the initial focus is alright, but then its best to turn that off so you can maintain a fast shooting speed.

This camera's ISO allows it to deal with dark rooms quite well; attaching it with a very low aperture lens, you can essentially take a picture in absolute darkness.

The camera is also capable of shooting in 1080HD. The video function allows you to film while also taking stills, a useful feature if you need to check focus, or capture stills to reduce post production work. The downside to filming with the camera, is that the built in microphone is not the strongest receiver. The sound that it records is usually too quiet, and not of the best quality. If you do want to film sound, I suggest attaching a separate, more powerful mic to the camera's easy to reach port.

As a nature photographer, I spend a lot of time in the bush without a tripod. The camera is pretty robust, but that also means that it's heavy (about 3lbs with a lens). It can be uncomfortable to hold at odd angles for long periods of time. I like the size and weight, but for someone just stepping into the world of dSLR's, this is something to stay mindful of.

The lens (the 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR ED Nikkor Lens), is alright for what it's worth. A good starter lens, but the thing surely isn't perfect. The aperture doesn't go as low as I would like, and the auto-focus is, as I mentioned earlier, a little slow. A good lens will usually cost more than the camera itself, which is why for a start into the world of SLR's, the accompanying Nikkor lens will do until you get your feet wet.

The +/- function on the camera are a little confusing, as they are reversed in comparison to previous models. I have been using this camera for over a year now, and I still haven't gotten used to it.

A disappointing aspect of the camera that I have noticed, is that the monitor does not do a great job expressing the actual lighting and contrast of a photograph. Often the pictures will appear lighter than they actually are, which can result in some frustrating post-production work.

I can't speak for much post-production (which effectively cuts me out of RAW), as I tend to dislike the need for heavy editing. I have little to no experience with Photoshop, and most of my touch-up is done in GIMP. This dislike of post-production work has led me to make great use of the camera's dual memory card storage, which is nice to stuff with a couple of 32g cards and never worry about running out of space.

Overall, the camera is an impressive piece of equipment, and I have enjoyed the upgrade from my old p90. Having so many controllable functions means that the camera's shooting capabilities will last much longer, as one progressively learns more about photography. While I wouldn't recommend this camera to someone who has no experience with manual photography, it is an excellent step into the world of digital SLRs.

Very Dissapointed

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2013

I upgraded from the D7000 to the D7100 because I wanted more pixels, but if you use JPEG the camera tries to to get rid of noise with processing (even at ISO100) and give you really soft images, if you use RAW you get more pixels allright, but you also get a LOT MORE NOISE, SO FOR ME, UPGRADING FROM THE D7000 HAS BEEN A HUGE WASTE, paid a lot for the same I would have gotten with a d7000.

Then another problem, with ISO800 for instance, the D7000 did GREAT with Dynamic Range, but with the D7100 the dynamic range at ISO800 the Dynamic Range Drops to the same of a damn cellphone!!!

I just got much better images with the 14MP of the D7000 than with the 24 of the D7100, in everthing else it's practically the same camera.
