PERSONAL RATING OF THE NIKON D7100

PERSONAL RATING OF THE NIKON D7100

 

If you are looking for a SLR camera, you are not a photography professional, but you are an amateur user looking for advanced features, a rugged, powerful camera, and almost professional features, do not waste your time. You need a Nikon D7100 .

THE IDEAL USER OF A NIKON D7100 SLR

The ideal user of this camera is that amateur photographer who knows that an SLR of 350 Euros falls short, he is a user who wants to experiment with photographic situations a little "limit" having the backing of a machine that responds quickly, which is robust, that endures rain, dust and whatever they throw at it, a camera that focuses quickly, that "sees" in the dark, a camera whose battery lasts days and days of photos without having to recharge. A beast camera. If you hurry me, a photographer taking his first steps in the world of paid reports, what is said as a professional photographer, may also want to start with a camera like the succulent D7100. It will respond perfectly to your needs.

ADVANTAGES OF THE NIKON D7100

Beyond the technical features that you can find  here , let's see what makes this camera worthy of such praise:
    • Perfect handling of ISO noise: In DSLR photography, when you have to photograph in semi-dark environments there are times when you have no choice but to increase the ISO value of your camera. This usually affects more light, which is fine, but also in a typical noise that appears in the photo in the form of tiny grains, sometimes so green, that spoil the dark ones in the photo. With the Nikon D7100 it will be difficult for you to encounter this problem. The camera allows you to reach very high ISO values, with absolute tranquility and carelessness, since up to an ISO of 1,200 in principle you will not have appreciable noise in the photo. A delight
    • 51 Focus points: In 2009 the Nikon D60 remained my only SLR camera. With her he was more than satisfied and had no more than 3 focus points. Imagine now being able to work with 51 focus points. It's legen… dario (if you're not addicted to TV series, forget it). 51 focus points help you pinpoint the camera where, exactly, you want the focus to occur. I currently work with a Nikon D7000, which only has 39 focus points, and the truth is that it shows a lot.
    • Long battery life: You can shoot up to 950 photos with the camera and the battery will hold you without problems. Very handy when you go on a weekend trip and you have no space for the charger. To hell with the charger. You can go on a trip with a well-charged battery and period, having the peace of mind that it will hold you a good time.
    • 2 memory card slots: Also in 2009 it almost gave me something when, on my last night of sightseeing in Berlin, I discovered that the memory card with the photos of the entire trip had become unusable. With the Nikon D7100, you don't have this problem: thanks to its dual memory card slot, you can insert 2 cards, and configure it so that slot 1 records photos and 2 automatically backs up the 1. What spoils your main memory card? Get it You have a backup.
    • Supersonic shooting speed of 1/8000: The basic SLR cameras shoot the photo at a shooting speed normally of 1/4000 seconds, which is more than enough to freeze the action. The Nikon D71000 simply doubles it. Take a second, divide it by 8000, and keep a fraction of the 8000. Freeze the total time.
  • Very generous in buttons: This for me is almost the star feature. You will think "having many buttons is not an advantage but quite the opposite, it will leave me stunned . Quiet, not at all. The huge number of buttons and controls offered by the D7100 allow quick access in less than a second to a lot of functions and options that, otherwise, you would have to search through the menu every two by three. There is a dedicated button almost for each control or function. Believe me, this is something that when you try it you can no longer live without it.

DISADVANTAGES OF THE NIKON D7100

There is no perfect camera. Something bad had to have the Nikon D7100. If I have to be totally honest, I have to play this part too. Don't worry, nothing serious, but the camera is big, big, and there are people who are bothered. Compared to a Canon 1100D or a Nikon D3200, the latter two look almost like a bridge or compact camera. The D7100 bulges, does not go very unnoticed, and in an backpack weighs an egg. It doesn't bother me but it's supposed to be inconvenient. Another drawback is that it does not have the novelties and sleepovers that other cameras, even of lower range, have: it does not take panoramic photos automatically, does not take 3D photos or anything like that. If that type of photography interests you, the D7100 is not your camera. The screen is not rotating: Cheaper cameras like the Nikon D5100 or D5200 have a rotating screen, something very useful for making self-portraits.

PHOTO SAMPLES

Here you have a small sample of photos taken with the Nikon D7100 . I have tried to combine natural photos with processed ones, so you see all the potential it offers.

PRICE

The price of the Nikon D7100 is at just over 1,000 Euros on Amazon , 18-105mm lens included. I think it is a reasonable price for such "exquisite" features. Once again, thanks for reading. Help me to spread this article please through your favorite social network.
