Nikon D7100

[@KenTheoriaApophasis]

BEST DX DSLR camera out there, even beats the 600 and 610. Absolutely incredible, get one! I did.

This video backs up exactly what you’ve said, Ken!

[@BandH]

We have not had any D7100?s returned to us with any oil issues. This is in fact the first I've heard of the camera in relation to such an issue. There have been reports of this problem in the past on other Nikon models, but is no longer an issue at this point. If you do happen to receive a model with any type of defect, you are covered both by Nikon's warranty as well as B&H's 30 day return policy. - Yossi

[@BandH]

That is a MeFoto model. We carry a full line of MeFoto photo tripods at B&H, with different sizes, etc., to suit your specific needs. Thanks for watching.

[@BandH]

The AF-assist will work in the P, A, S, and M modes with the camera. Depending on what focusing mode you use may be causing the problem. Make sure the camera is set to AF-S or AF-A focusing modes. In the owner?s manual, pages 322 illustrate the modes the feature can and cant be used in, and page 301 will indicate lenses that the AF-assist feature does not work with. If you still have problems, I?d recommend you contact Nikon directly for further support as you may have a defect. - Yossi

[@BandH]

+Anas P.S The main lens on the camera in this video is the Nikon AF-S DX 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II zoom. Others were also used for the review. Thanks for watching.

[@cessealbeach]

I had the D7100 for about 2 months now, your presentation is just perfect Thanks

[@BandH]

Larry Becker responds: For the review, I had Active-D off and the other two settings on for that test, but I just redid my test and I turned off all three features (Auto Distortion Control, Active-D, and High ISO NR) and I even set it to capture just large JPEGs (no RAW) and I got pretty much the same performance. Seven shots at the highest speed and then it dropped to about 2 and a half shots a second as the buffer cleared at that rate. I was using a 400x Class 10 SD card. Hope that helps.

[@gendo1]

Larry as an owner of a d7000 I love this video of the advanced model. This unbiased no BS approach makes me a total fan. Thanks again for this great video!

[@BandH]

Very welcome and thank you for watching.

[@brianminkc]

Its a big improvement. I had a D7000 and the images from the D7100 are VERY sharp. I was blown away by the quality of the stills on this camera. I also love the HDR and bracketing features on this over my D7000. I shoot a lot of HDR and this camera is going to give me awesome results. This truly is a professional grade camera... maybe not the best choice for extreme shooting in bad weather or rough or dusty locations... but other than that .... its a wonderful camera.

[@BandH]

Yes, it records 1080p HD video in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, MOV formats. It records audio in Linear PCM format and has an option to accept an external mic. - Yossi

[@BandH]

The main lens on the camera in this video is the Nikon AF-S DX 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II zoom. Others were also used for the review. Thanks for watching.

[@BandH]

Sigma offers a nice 18-250mm lens that would cover all of your needs for landscapes, sports and general use. Tamron also offers a nice 18-270mm lens which would give you even a bit more reach on your further away subjects. - Yossi

[@BandH]

The camera does not have any built-in intervelometer or time-lapse features. You could opt for the Vello Shutterboss remote trigger options, which do have an intervelometer option. We feature the Vello Shutterboss under the "Accessories" tab on the product link for the camera on our site. - Yossi

[@BandH]

Yes, the D5200 has an optical low pass filter. Most DSLR's have this. The omission of the OLPF?s in cameras such as the D7100 and D800e is a relatively new trend in sensor/camera design. A few companies are starting to offer models with some variation of this design concept. For now I wouldn't say it's a make or break type of feature, the cameras with the OLPF's are still plenty sharp. - Yossi

[@BandH]

The D7100 is a replacement for the D7000 camera, and is a better model camera. The D600 is basically a full-frame version of the D7100. The features between the two are very similar, the size of the sensor/format being the main difference. - Yossi

[@BandH]

Both cameras have similar image quality, but the Nikon D7100 has been tested and stated as having slightly better image quality, especially in regards to low-light performance. However, the Sony Alpha SLT-A77 would be the faster camera and would be better for HD video needs.

[@BandH]

Optical quality-wise, the Nikon D7100 is only slighty better than the Nikon D5100. The main differences between the two is the D7100 has better focusing with both more focusing points and more cross-type points to assist low- light or difficult focusing issues. For wedding photography, the 18-105mm lens would be more flexible for wedding photography as it has more framing options being a zoom lens. For a better option, the Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM Zoom Lens for Nikon would work.

[@BandH]

Most welcome and thank you for watching.

[@jacstoner]

I just purchased the D7100 and am just starting to learn all the wonderful features. Have been using a D90 for the past couple of years and have been happy with it overall but just wanted to take the next step. (I am keeping the D90 as my back up, though!) This video was VERY helpful to me and I sincerely appreciate the quality of the presentation!

[@BandH]

We look forward to your visit and greeting you personally.

[@fendrou]

Yes! NIKON D7100 does have an intervalometer. You can find it in the SHOOTING MENU. Interval timer shooting • Choose start time Now Start time [hh:mm] • Interval [hh:mm:ss] • Select no. of times*no. of shots [000] x [0] = 0001 • Start Off On

[@BandH]

The D7100 would be a very good upgrade from the D5100. The D5200 is more of an update of the D5200 and not so much of a step up or out of the entry-level category. If you are looking for an upgrade, then go for the D7100. - Yossi

[@RobertKingofMaine]

You did a great job on this review. It is obvious that you have put a lot of work into speaking to people. Your knowledge of this camera is outstanding. You did your homework!

[@broer61]

on my d7100, I can do time-lapse photography, via the shooting menu. I have not used it yet, but in the manual, it is explained and I just made some test sequence, you specify the time between pihotographs, the number of frames to shoot, and the number of shots per interval.

[@1ez86]

I had similar burst limitations on my D7000 but found that if I disable auto distortion control I can fire off nearly unlimited high speed bursts. I believe Active D-lighting and high iso noise reduction would limit your bursts as well. I would be interested in knowing if any of these settings were enabled on the D7100 in this video.

[@Sigmattic1914]

Yes it does! The D7100 is the only Nikon Pro-sumer camera that doesn't if I'm not mistaken.

[@duanemcclun]

I mostly shoot wildlife, action, and photojournalism photos. I currently use 2 D3300 and 1 D300. I'm wondering if there's a reason the ISO goes to 6400 on the D7100 and 12,800 for the D3300. I should add that I recently bought a D7100 (2 weeks ago) and it's sitting in the box because I don't like the lock on the top left dial and to get to the pre-set scenes takes several steps to get to with the D7100 where it was quicker with the D3300. I wish I would have looked for A D300s instead of the D7100.

[@shipleyshipster]

@BHPhotoVideoProAudio In this video you say the Nikon D7100 can output video live via the HDMI cable to view and record on an external device. Does that mean it could be used as a webcam as well?

[@TheMartine]

Great review. This was just that little extra I needed to decide to go for det D7100 :)

[@jmpianoboy]

Just had to get camera and I'm not disappointed :) Best Crop Sensor camera in the market right now.

[@hawg427]

I wonder why Nikon choose not to include the U1 & U@ settings on their D-800 & 800E cameras?

[@lucain1960]

Desceraría que vídeo tan interesante como este se subieran en español, pensando también para los que no hablan el idioma ingles, pero si tienen el nivel adquisitivo para comprar estos equipos. Gracias.

[@hugoivarsson3523]

Just bought my first camera nikon d90 and ive already been thinking about this as the next upgrade although d90 is such a great camera for beginners who are aiming to be PROs later on :)

[@gingfuentes2351]

thanks for your video, i just want to know, what kind lens i would use for wide angle and landscape, sports, and indoor? what would you say about sigma?

[@BandH]

The D7100 is a solidly-built magnesium alloy body + polycarbonate shell that offers moisture and dust resistance. C h u c k askbh{at}bandh{dot}com

[@YoRocky89]

Great video. I just have 3 questions. 1. Is best to shoot RAW, or one of the other 2 options, like (RAW) + JPEG fine? 2. Which ISO settings work best from Auto to Hi 0.3? 3. Is it best to set the High ISO NR option as normal or high? Thank you.

[@rajatdixit007]

Hello Thanks for the wonderful review :D If you were to compare this camera with the Pentax k5ii. Which one would be better? I consider myself to be a still photographer. I wont be using video that much. Thank you

[@lynnemichelle7977]

So would you say that the Sony a77 is better that Nikon d7100 when it comes to low light and extreme low light photography? I shoot dancers and theatre, so I'm looking for something that will handle the light without a flash...

[@NOTTODAY0009]

Thank you. But I have another question. What do you think about the Nikon D5200?

[@anasp.s8740]

Which lens have you used for the samples in this video?

[@hilfsil]

Does the D5200 have optical low pass filter in the sensor? Just wondering if it really makes that much difference when choosing a camera. Thanks

[@gustavocosta3369]

Chuck, D7100 compared to Canon 7D, what is your pick taking into consideration stills only?

[@oscarcamargo734]

It seems that the D7100 has problems with oil spot coming from the shutter. What is your experience and recommendations since many people try to clean them professionally and end up returning the camera because it is a repetitive problem (so they claim)

[@patrickjn77]

Nice Review. I have this and the D7000 and they are both very stable cameras. I prefer them to some of the older full frame!

[@santixayyasith6584]

Thank you very much for your nice review. I just bought it and learn how to take the best photos and video also

[@Jeva89]

sold! thank you very much for this great review

[@jcc2k6]

Hi great review, I recently bought this camera and I have a question, when I shoot in S and A mode the Af assist lamp doesn't light, but in automatic mode it does, it made difficult some times to focus in low light situations, please help me with that. Thank you very much, by the way Im looking forward to visit your super store in NYC. Juan

[@essellar]

In English-speaking North America (only), the accepted pronunciation is "Nigh-kon" (a "long" i); elsewhere it would have a "short" i sound. That pronunciation was established even before there was official distribution in NA by American servicemen and photojournalists bringing the earlier rangefinders back with them. Even Nikon uses the "Nigh-kon" pronunciation in their English North American promotional materials.

[@tomjonsson4786]

What kind of lens is mounted on the camera in the video on the table? :)

[@BandH]

As simple as these questions are, the amount of detail needed to properly reply to you exceeds what youtube will permit us to post here. We ask that you send this request to askbh{at}bhphotovideo{dot}com and we can answer you there. Thank you. - Yossi

[@guyinsf]

I'm trying to upgrade from my old failing Nikon D80. Is the D7100 considered a step up in quality for Nikon? Thanks!

[@xero925]

I was waiting for this review!!!! I am traveling to NY this winter to buy one from your store!!!

[@Watchthekettle]

i have the nikon d5100 is the d7100 a good upgrade or the d5200

[@kiranchamling20]

I thought we can change Aperture if it's in Aperture priority mode while recording video.

[@Harvestcreativemedia]

Can anyone help me to find a suitable lens for my Nikon camera? I use the camera mainly for video and looking for a wide angle lens which is good in low light with VR option and also which can cover wide area in focus. I already have a 18-105 lens. Thanks in advance.

[@fuxing88]

I got my Nikon D7100 w/18-140mm per your suggestion (instead of 18-300m); shall i order either a 70-300mm or a 50-300mm for long range? Does VR make such a difference? Shall I order it with VR? Thanks for advising.

[@Raptor50aus]

Would I see much improvement in image quality with a D610 compared to the D7100? I usually takes pics of Birds outdoors in sunny conditions

[@BandH]

The D7100 is an excellent camera, and I don?t know how much difference you will notice in the quality of your images going from it to the D610 if you are shooting wildlife outdoors in sunny conditions. The smaller format sensor might actually be an advantage for this, as with the crop factor, your telephoto lenses appear more telephoto allowing for more reach, which can be key for taking photos of birds. Depending on your lenses, upgrading lenses could provide a larger difference in the quality of images you are getting. *Christina* [e-mail]

[@sanjunilugal]

your reviews make a grt difference :) thanks for the video ...

[@VBVTV]

I referenced your review on my video "Movie Making Cameras from $600 to $1,000 Part l in 2020". Thanks for your review!

[@anymanusa]

wow, what a great review! best i've seen yet, and I've seen a bunch!

[@NOTTODAY0009]

Hi I'm looking for a camera that can take great pictures as well as awesome videos with fine detail. Is there any between $500 to $700. Plus I also would love to switch lenses.

[@sighland]

Thanks for a wonderful, educated review in clear English.. cheers..

[@ProductKingReviews]

I'm torn between this camera (Nikon D7100) and the Cannon T5i. It will be my first DSLR camera. I don't care about the price difference. I really like the T5i touch screen but I really care about final image quality. Which would you recommend? And for the one you recommend can I learn the settings to take good pictures in about 5 days?

[@YoRocky89]

Great review. ;) My only nitpick about the camera is that there's no LCD cover, but otther than that, it's great. :)

[@WorldNews98]

During the rocord video, I can select the aperture and iso ??

[@marvintalatala4608]

Hi Sir Larry, Im torn between D7100 and eos6D, any advice??

[@Feederia]

Hmmm... Question: have you had complaints or have you noticed anything about the D7100's oil on sensor issues? A lot of people have stated that even out of the box there are already oil specks that they find on their pictures.

[@BandH]

This is the first I've heard of the camera having any issues, and we have not had any returns on it due to this. - Yossi

[@Feederia]

B and H Okay! Thanks, I just looked at many other videos and even googling "D7100 oil" has some viewpoints as well. But thanks for the reply will definitely be purchasing this camera just needed to clear up the oil on sensor rumors / problems in the way!

[@milosmilivojevicphoto]

I had problem with audio noise with external microphones. Can you help me to fix it. I tried with manual control but noise is still there.Can you tell me which kind of microfone to buy for interviews?

[@BandH]

For this, we would need a bit more information. If you send an email letting us know what external mic you have tried, what types of environments you are shooting in, and what if any external recorders you have used, we would be more than happy to help you trouble shoot and offer some suggestions. You can send an email to [e-mail] *Christina*

[@inavarro807]

+Raechels Vlogs I liked the d3100 very much. I went to a d7100 its a much better camera. Good luck

Can you change the 'bracket' button to ISO function?

[@kimberlyevans6472]

I want to buy a camera. I don't know much about camera's but I'm thinking on buying one since I love to dress up and take pictures. What camera should I get that would be ideal for a beginner like me.

[@BandH]

If you are looking to purchase your first DSLR, you might look at the Nikon D3300. It?s one of Nikon's introductory DSLRs, and would be extremely user friendly. It would still have great image quality. Otherwise, the D5300 would be another great option. It would be a step above the D3300 in Nikon's line-up, but would still be one of their more user friendly introductory DSLRs. The D5300 will have a few more advanced features and a bit better image quality and low light performance. That being said, for a first DSLR, it would be hard to go wrong with either. *Christina* [e-mail] bhpho.to/1B6iKB5

[@BandH]

[@denverjamesduran2750]

Does it have optical image stabilizer?

[@bmbpdk]

Hi. Will the built in flash be able to trigger a SB-700 speedlight?

[@BandH]

Yes, as the built-in flash inside the Nikon D7100 DSLR camera can be used as a Commander/Master flash for the Nikon i-TTL CLS system, it would be able to wirelessly trigger the Nikon SB-700 Speedlight Flash for both automatic exposure and manual exposure.

[@bmbpdk]

[@TheBlackWings0]

im really confused is it better than the d7000 and the d600 ?

[@avibenarie61]

Great Video. Thanks! I'm an architect and i need to take interior design pictures of small spaces with low light exposure. Is the D7100 is a good camera (combined with a wide angle lens) for such pictures? what about the Canon T5i? Would it be better for interior pictures? Thanks !

[@BandH]

The D7100 is an excellent camera, and has great low light performance. Paired with a super wide zoom, it would be a great option for shooting tight interiors. The T5i doesn?t have the same level low light performance or image quality as the D7100. The T5i is one of Canon?s introductory DSLRs, while the D7100 is in Nikon?s enthusiast/pro-summer line. *Christina* [e-mail]

[@henkbouma8917]

If I were to buy this camera, what would be some decent lenses to purchase ? I can't afford the high end lenses.

[@BandH]

We offer a package of the D7100 camera bundled with the Nikon 18-105mm VR lens, which is a great lens to start with in terms of the focal range (wide angle through telephoto aspect) and the lens is sharp with nice contrast and it is affordable also. In addition to that, their 50mm and 35mm f1.8 lenses are also excellent choices and are on the affordable side also. See the links below for details on the bundle and the two other lenses plus a telephoto to consider. - Yossi bhpho.to/1sMR54Y bhpho.to/1jGBAWz bhpho.to/UmIDe4 bhpho.to/UmIHdF

[@sadasidha08]

Is this camera too old to buy now? Is there any chance of discontinuation of the d7100?

[@BandH]

The D7200 is the current version of the camera. However, the D7100 is still available, and as of right now, has not been officially discontinued by Nikon. *Andrea

[@RyanJosephDaley]

I have the D7100 and it's a marvelous camera. I highly recommend it. There isn't much reason to buy the more expensive D7200. The D500 is currently the the top of line DX format camera but it's $2,000. For that price you could buy a full frame camera, the D750, for the same price.

[@BandH]

It's not possible to change the aperture in movie mode. In the Program, Aperture and Shutter-priority shooting modes, exposure control is f +/- 3EV only, with the camera always using Auto ISO. In Manual mode you can adjust both shutter speed and ISO sensitivity, but Auto ISO isn't available. Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: askbh{at}bandh{dot}com. Mark S.

[@eduardob663]

Can I record more the 30 minutes with the nikon d7100?

[@BandH]

If you were to get an external video recorder, you could record clips of video that are more than 30 minutes with the D7100. When recording to a memory card, though, you would be limited to max 29min 59 s clips. *Christina* [e-mail]

[@Watchthekettle]

18-200mm vs 18-300mm? same and just the extra reach? or....

[@Garriffff]

I'm stuck between Nikon D5300 and D7100. Which one would you recommend? Is the D7100 worth the extra money? Currently I have a D3100.

[@BandH]

Both cameras have almost identical image quality, with the Nikon D7100 DSLR camera having a slight edge regarding dynamic range & color depth. The main difference would be size & performance. The D5300 is smaller, has slightly better low-light performance & lower noise at higher ISO settings, & has built-in GPS. The D7100 has faster focusing, dual memory card slots, faster frame rate, better battery life, has a brighter viewfinder, & is weather-sealed. Both are good, but I prefer the D7100.

I love the 1.3X mode in that I can effectively double my 300 2.8 to a 600 2.8!........and still have a very large file. I do not mind the limited buffer. It seems to me that that buffer is sufficient. I am never one to shoot more than 3-5 or 6 shot bursts......never. I rarely even do that. The buffer limitation is miniscule. I want this camera!

I have been unable to get an answer about a problem I'm having with my Nikon D7100 not always saving pictures to the SD cards. I'm using Lexar SD XC 2 64 GB Professional 1000x 150MB/s cards

[@BandH]

I would recommend submitting your inquiry concerning your issue either to B&H Photo by e-mailing prophoto {at} bhphoto.com, or you may contact Nikon directly either by calling them with your issue at 1-800-NIKON-US (1-800-645-6687) 9AM-8PM EST, Monday to Friday, or by e-mail using the link on their website on the link included below. As no question is listed above, and I do not know the age of your memory card, the best I can recommend would be to either try re-formatting your memory card in your camera before your next usage, and if that does not work, you may need to replace your memory card. The Nikon D7100 was originally released in 2013, and if the camera (and memory card) was purchased soon after its release, it may be the age of the card or the number of save/delete/reformat cycles that have been cycled on the card. As stated, all of this is simply guessing as no question was listed, so I would recommend sending your inquiry to one of the aforementioned contact points to see if they may have more information. bit.ly/2pQPr7V
