Nikon D7100 Digital Slr Camera Review

I have been a Nikon guy for 30 years. I have a ton of lenses and my current favorite Nikon SLR is the D7100. (I prefer the DX format to the FX format for a number of reasons). It's a great still camera, but shoots absolutely terrible video. Sony on the other hand is known for making amazing video cameras, but has struggled to gain market share in the stills world. My wife got an a5000 and I was incredibly impressed with it, but it lacks manual controls--too many menus required to get into the settings. I decided to buy this camera as something more portable than an SLR but with much higher quality images than a typical fixed-lens point/shoot. This camera is amazing. The video looks like the video from an FS100. The stills are as good as the ones from my Nikon D7100. The autofocus is as fast as any DSLR. It can do ANYTHING a DSLR can do, and a few things they can't. This may be the future of cameras. A DSLR is starting to look like something I don't really need anymore. My only complaint is that the battery is pretty small and the battery life could be better. So buy a couple. It has enough manual controls and assignable buttons that you can set it up to be able to change settings/focus/mode/etc in just a few actions and once you get it set up, the darned thing is absolutely fantastic to use. The kit lens is sharp and has optical stabilization built in which works in both stills and video mode! Crazy cool. Honestly, I haven't been so amazed by a camera in a long time. For the money? Best camera I have ever owned. Buy a battery charger with the camera....Sony is too cheap to include one with the camera and expects you to charge it through a USB cable. Lame Sony!

I have a Nikon SLR D80 digital camera. purchased this 70-300mm lens have really love it.

A good size for an SLR or lower profile Digital camera. and a lens or two.

This is my first digital SLR. I have been watching canon 50D and Nikon D90 for a long time... right now, this price is really attractive.

Transferred Kodachrome and Ektachrome slides to digital with my D7100 with a combination from a Nikon K extension set before remembering I had a PK 13 extension ring from long ago. Both work equally well and produce results equal to an expensive high resolution scan done previously. Still experimenting with light sources, florescent light box, window light and the white balance settings but over all it's a great instrument.

EASY TO USE DIGITAL SLR CAMERA. TAKES GREAT PICTURES.

I wear glasses and to have a rubber eye cover is a must on my digital SLR camera.

the perfect camera between a point n' shoot and a full blown digital SLR.

I use this and numerous other Nikon lenses with my Mikon D70 and D200 Digital SLR cameras to do Lunar imaging.

USED WITH DIGITAL NIKON SLR AND JVC GZ-HD7 CAMCORDER WITH 4 ADDITIONAL LENS. LOVE THE FACT THIS PRODUCT IS BUILT TO LAST AND DOES NOT WEIGH AS MUCH AS PELICAN CASES. EXCELLENT CASE!!!
