The Nikon D7100 is the latest in a line of midlevel DSLR cameras to be released. As always the big questions are, how does this camera rank against the D7000 that it replaced as well as its Canon counterparts. Well this review is not about how one camera matches up against another but it how the D7100 is as a camera.
First off this camera sells for $1,199 body only and currently is Nikons top of the line DX camera since the D300s has yet to be replaced. We all know that as cameras progress the tech inside continues to get better and better. The D7100 definitely benefits from some major tech updates.
This is how I like to do my reviews, I like to use the camera, push it to its limits in the real world and let you analyze the results for yourself. That is why you can access all of the FULL-RES images from this review as well as download eight RAW FILES. To me its about giving you the samples to make your own judgments and decisions about a camera.

It's now 2024 and me and my D7100 are still out there together. BUT i'm now on my way to a Z8. The D7100 is fantastic value for money and has served me well.

@unbroken1010 Месяц назад

Well then give it to me

@haroldcarlson2775 10 лет назад

One of the best practical reviews I have seen. Thanks so much for spending the time to put together such an in-depth hands-on review.

@yudontsay 9 лет назад

just ordered this 5 min ago, been using D3200 for 3 years and been doing jobs with it so its time to upgrade :)

@MattNOV1509 7 лет назад

yudontsay Same as me. Used the D3200 for a while, now switching to the D7200

did you see much difference?

@livedict6224 5 лет назад

@@Qwerty-yc9gg i bought used D7100 (28K shutter releases) for ~290$. Then i got Sigma 18-50 f/2.8-4.5 DC OS HSM for ~100$. Trading platform is Avito, in case I'm from Russia :)

@sugarfreedaddie5995 4 года назад

Had it a year now and love it. i started on a cheap bridge camera, my first dslr was 14 years old my first Nikon wasn't much younger its my fourth dslr now and i love it and appreciate it so much.

@jepmaningo7770 7 лет назад

This is the perfect review style that I like. I love that you showed us sample photos. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

@pfh777 10 лет назад

What an excellent, thorough review. Your attention to the detail and walking through your experiences are excellent - thanks!

@Archaon27 11 лет назад

One of the best reviews i have seen on RU-vid. Thank you for the entertainment and down-to-earth review. Love the Go-pro mount on the top of the camera as well, very ingenious. Looking to get a D7000 as a amateur camera.

@froknowsphoto 11 лет назад

It depends on what you are shooting. A good lens for learning and starting is a 35 1.8

@77Nazareth77 10 лет назад

I spent a whole two hours trying to figure out if i wanted the d5300 or d7100. I differently think the d7100 offers more features that i want in the future as i learn photography. Thank you so much man and very good reviews!!.

@Noahanderson05 11 лет назад

I LOVE how you incorporated the go pro while you were in the field shooting. Please do this for more of your review videos

@DenisRizovBG 2 года назад

Recently started taking an interest in photography as a hobby. Bought a Nikon D7100 from a friend who recently upgraded and didn't need it anymore. I am pretty happy with it. The image quality is superb, even though it's 9 years old.

@KieranStracey 10 лет назад

I need some help, Canon 70d or Nikon d7100? I'm worried that if I get the Nikon, it won't be that good for taking sports and wildlife photography due to the fact its buffer fills up rather quickly.

@TheAlyyasser92 11 лет назад

Jared this is OVERDUE !! I am following you on instgram and i remember you got this camera maybe more than a month ago.. I kinda lost hope but im very glad you finally reviewed it !!

@MrPedrofoto 10 лет назад

Jared, thanks for this review. I have this camera and simply love it. I use it both for family photos and also for some professional shoots. Though I am not a full time professional I do make some extra cash on the side shooting images for a fishing magazine. Quality glass is your best friend indeed.

@froknowsphoto 11 лет назад

Exactly, and when it selects for you you cant really focus where you want.

@Average_D 10 лет назад

Oh and one question...Are you capable of getting a frame preview of a change in settings when in Live mode?

@froknowsphoto 10 лет назад

I didn't put up my 70D review just yet but im not pleased with the low light and focus ability of it. If your all about video than canon but if you want both I would go with the Nikon.

@UnitedStatesOfCoffee 10 лет назад

Hey Jared, my Nikon D600's shutter gets stuck in the upward position when I shoot a photo, and I have to fire it again to let it come down. Please help me! I've checked and it's not in mirror up mode. It's in Single shot.

@rcbronxnyc4353 10 лет назад

That was one heck of a review. Very thorough and detailed. Basically, it helped seal the decision to upgrade from my little. 3100. Thank you!

@TimCurry04 10 лет назад

Felt asif I was actually doing the shooting at the game! Very nice Jared! Also learned a bit more about the buffer.

@Night6436 9 лет назад

It's not a good starting camera. If someone is new to photography this wood overwhelm them. I started with the d3200, that is a good beginners camera. Now I'm thinking about upgrading to this.

@harleyrider9166 6 лет назад

Great review and great detailed video of this camera! Thumbs all the way up.

@froknowsphoto 11 лет назад

Just because you have a 2.8 lens does not mean you have to shoot it wide open. I wanted to shoot around F3.5 or 4 to give me a little more play.

@KeithLAmour 11 лет назад

Thanks Jared. Having watched quite a few reviews of the D7100, this one is definitely one of the better ones. Having owned the D7100 for 3 months now and pairing it with good glass, I have nothing but praise for it.

@flynn.bulens 6 лет назад

21:48 what do you mean it's multyplied with 1,5? Does that mean that wen you put a 200mm lense on it, it ends up a 300mm?

@Jujuman2003 10 лет назад

Very nice, exhaustive review. Great job!

@GileadLovert-zs7dp Год назад

I’m in some sort of dilemma. Would you advise to go for a camera with high specs and miss out on the wifi/Bluetooth feature (Nikon D7100) or go for lower specs but get the wifi/Bluetooth features (Nikon D5300) ? I intend to use the camera for wedding photography and state functions. A friend was asking me not to pick the D7100 because it doesn’t have the wifi feature however, I can’t stand missing out on all the good features the camera offers in exchange for wifi .

@black350Z 10 лет назад

What Picture Control setting do you use? SD, NL, Custom? I noticed you have the contrast boosted quite a bit more than what I do when post processing in Lightroom, yet your images don't look over-contrasty like mine do at the same level.

@thebenmerrychannel9503 11 лет назад

Haha Your Dad's the man. Great Review. I picked this up yesterday. It's my first camera so its a lot to learn. I found i could cut the learning curve in half by studying photographic theory and the basic behind how a picture is created before I put a camera like this in my hands.

@Lilflako502 9 лет назад

I have the D5200. Is it a good idea to upgrade to the d7100 or wait and invest in a fx camera? Whats the huge diferrence btw the d5200 and the d7100?

@alexholden22 11 лет назад

Great review. Although I already own this I have been looking forward to it! Very complete and loved the go pro on the body.

@TheNavdeep47 9 лет назад

may i ask you which focusing mode you were using to capture this baseball shots ..i think that is AF-C with 21 p selection ..if i m wrong plz tell me ..i m worried my pics are not so sharp like yours ..i have d7100 nd 70 200 f2.8 lens. thanks

@misterr2359 9 лет назад

navdeep singh grewal AF-C 9 dynamic, he said.

@SkyCharter 10 лет назад

Thank you Jared. This review is helping understand the feature trade space of the various Nikon bodies as we pick our next upgrade from the intro 3000. Of particular help were the concert photos and the low light performance although the baseball session is important. I'm a long way from my Canon F1 - the digital photography age is just amazing.

@LarryParamedic1 9 лет назад

Jared; I still have all my manual focus (AIS) glass from 18mm to 300mm f/2.8 Can you tell me please how well the D7100 will work with MF Glass, or do you suggest another Nikon Body. Thank You for your time. Larry..

@hunterberkowitz7434 10 лет назад

Should i go for this camera or the d5200 because its cheaper and can get better glass.

@Anthrax809 11 лет назад

how can I enable the data like that on lightroom? or is it jared editing it on the video?

@creepyarticle 10 лет назад

Now that is how you do a review! great job! you sold me on the d7100 but sold me more on the idea of getting better glass. I'm a hobbyist using a d90 with an 85mm f/1.8 and a 17-50mm f/2.8. Might get an 11-16mm or a 70-200mm

@jesserowbottom 8 лет назад

Hi Jared Polin, great review. I actually ended up going with the Nikon D7200, due to the faster buffering that it provides. One question: What editing software do you recommend for a microsoft OS? Thanks in advance

@emiliomartinez2970 8 лет назад

+Jesse He uses Adobe Lightroom :)

@RichardBremer 11 лет назад

Great review, loved it! Any ideas on how the camera compares to the old D7000 and if upgrading is recommended?

@Razor2048 11 лет назад

when you outrun the buffer how long does it lock up for, just long enough to dump 1 image worth of data from the buffer, or does it wait until the entire buffer is clear?

@Shadowman-1960 9 лет назад

AFA does not automatically pick the focus point. It's only function is to switch the focus mode from AFS to AFC if the subject starts moving.

@joshey1120 11 лет назад

Thanks for this review Jared!

@Sketchartofsanchez 10 лет назад

Awesome vid, very cool to see where you hide to take those shots. It also looked like a little baby hand on a bottle every time you grabbed the lens, lol. Great work!

@videoman77365 9 лет назад

reduce the size of the image and you can shoo as fast as you want. what shoot a 24 MP My d7000 was a 16 MP and I shot sports photos all day at 16mp 6 frames per sec.I use a SanDisk 32GB 95MB/s Extreme PRO card never had to Waite on the buffer .

@danielbatts9386 9 лет назад

From what I've read in articles about sports photography, most pros will shoot in jpg because the buffering time is much shorter. As you mentioned, using fewer MP would help that too. Most sports shots aren't going to need as much post work either so what information you lose by shooting in jpg as opposed to raw probably won't be an issue anyway.

@froknowsphoto 11 лет назад

I have been shooting sports for a long long long time and I would not shoot jpeg in my D4. You will not outrun your buffer in a D4 EVER. The only way would be if you shoot for 4 straight seconds without taking your finger off the shutter button. And the 1DX which I have sitting right here is the same way if not better. You would have to hold your finger down for 3 seconds to outrun the buffer. And with that said the buffer is amazing in the 1DX

@dominoking0179 11 лет назад

@alexisanimex4353 10 лет назад

what is the name of the adapter that is with the GoPro and nikon?

@riccardotridello8979 10 лет назад

Firstly congratulation for your videos, I love to see them!!! Secondly I'm going to buy this camera, and i don't know which lens i better between nikon 16-85 and tamron 24-70 f2.8, is tamron wide enough? is nikon too dark? Thanks!

@DigitalLemonade 11 лет назад

Been shooting with the D7000 for a couple years and it produces FANTASTIC images.

@alejandromendivildianderas7078 9 лет назад

What does " more glass glass glass in lense " means ?, Jared refers about how many ED Glass elements have the lens? . Thanks very much.

@albertocabrera6614 11 лет назад

Thank you for your review for the camera. This is the best review I have seen so far. One thing you did not cover was the 3d tracking. That would have help keeping focus with the baseball player once you focused on him. I find it better then using just the continuous option. BTW, I bought my D7100 from Alan's Camera.

@evanreyes_ 8 лет назад

I've had a d3100 for 2 and 1/2 years now and I'm thinking about upgrading to this and buying a 50mm 1.8 as well.

with witch software you work to use the nikon as web cam? when you do a live show? i want to use my D90 for shooting live to youtube and i want to know...

@iXiReaperiXi 11 лет назад

I now realize the resourcefulness of the fro -- shooting in direct sunlight, gives you a nice bit of shade to help see the LCD on a bright day

@lysterb 11 лет назад

Jared , would you considerethe worth to go from the D5100 to D7100 , or to the D600 (considering the price & the dust problems) ... PS: I got the Nikkor 24-70 2.8 + 50 mm 1.4 G (I like fast autofocus but also good noise management)

@infotechyeti 8 лет назад

Jared...appreciate all you do and want to thank you for videos like this. This video helped to see real life use of the camera as I have a smaller brother in baseball. I currently have a D3200 with a 35mm 1.8G, 50mm 1.8G, 85mm 1.8G and the stock lenses that came with them. I am considering to upgrade in the future but torn between the D7100 and D610. I know full frame is a way to go eventually but with the value for a refurbished Nikon D7100 to be $600 sounds like a great deal. Even around the holidays I saw it go down to $450! I dont do photography professional but did do a wedding for a friend and some parties here and there. Considering that the D610 has a better size sensor would you recommend that over the D7100 for someone like me? Should I even think of the D7200? Or continue to invest in lenses?

@infotechyeti 8 лет назад

thanks Matt Colgate appreciate the info. decided to hold back for a bit and work with what i have. doing this as a hobby for now. until then ill just rent some equipment if i get any work in the future.

@zaheerabbasbehram9621 10 лет назад

hellow guys i got a new nikon d7100 body coz i think kit lances like 18-105, 140 and 16 85mm are good lences but for only avrage photography but i want some sharp results thats y i decides for 85mm 1.8g, now i want a zoom lances for sports shots and wild life photography like birds etc plz tell me which zoom lance should i buy for d7100 under $1000.????

@ketakidixit8319 5 лет назад

@ayaflo5073 11 лет назад

Excellent Video!! Probably the most useful Camera reviews with no bias and obscurity like the DigitalRevTV. Eitherway can you tell what glass you used? Also can the D3200 have such versatility in RAW?

@MrCaptainobvious9999 10 лет назад

First review I've watched of yours. Really nice job going over all of the important functions and showing how this D7100 actually performs in real world usage. Basically the finest quality review you can get on a camera. Well done Jared !!!

@kristofferpence 11 лет назад

low light looks great. I used to be annoyed with noise BAD before i started watching your videos haha. I shoot everything from weddings to still life with the 6D and 5D mark II, but am wanting to try a Nikon as well. Forever end the Nikon/Canon crap and just have both. Great review as usual man! Keep it up

@400hpmustang 9 лет назад

Currently have a d3100 and ready to make that leap into something more advanced, used it in full manual but love A mode. Found a used one on CL for $700 body only but new ones go for just a bit more. I like it for the magnesium frame, dual SD slots and it's moisture resistant.

@DaveDiamonds 11 лет назад

Hey Jared, another awesome review... I put my SD card in my friend's D7100 and snapped a few shots while i was at his place in the hopes of going home and checkin' out how it handled high ISO, and sharpness, etc... I shot RAW and had to download View NX2 in order to VIEW and convert the files to jpg, but is there an easier way? If i end up buying this camera and get Lightroom 4, am i totally able to view D7100 full RAW files and edit them within that program from the get go?

@kaptaincocopuff98 11 лет назад

Hey so I'm upgrading from a d60 to a d7100.. I have an 18-55mm and 55-200mm G lens, would these lens work with the d7100?? seeing how the d7100 comes with a 18-104mm D lens?? What's the difference between G and D lens anyway?? Any input is appreciated, thanks!

@wannaberossi 10 лет назад

Hi Jared, I was wondering why where You shooting at iso 400 instead off iso 100 on such a bright and sunny day? I Always try to shoot at the lowest possible iso number according to the light situation. Greetings Richard. The Netherlands

@wava2552 5 лет назад

because if aperture in max open already, and still cant get sharp image on long focal length, you must using a higher iso, so shutter will be faster. if you use long focal length, you need faster shutter speed for maximum sharpness of the image..

@mnoyes00 8 лет назад

Thanks for the in-depth review. I've been on the fence between the 7100 and the 610 or a used 600. Looks like, although it's a DX, it has several of the advantages of an FX at a reduced price (and since this review the price has dropped even more). I out grew my 3100 a few years ago and maybe it's a smarter idea to stay within the DX but get the highest end and spending that savings over an FX on updating the quality glass I have rather than having to sell a kidney for a fast FX lens. You're the tits Fro, keep the good work.

@Chickenjoe_99 2 года назад

@kingkoen7 11 лет назад

Dear Jared, I now have a D5100 with 18-105. Is it better to first upgrade the lens to an 18-200 or 70-200 F4 or should i buy the d7100 and than concider one of these two lenses?

@PatrickBlack173 11 лет назад

which version of the 300 2.8 do you have? great shots by the way

@dif118 11 лет назад

Hello Jared i have a question. I now have the d5100 and som lenses and those are ikon Nikkor AF 70-300/4,0-5,6 D ED, Nikon Nikkor AF-S DX 35/1,8 G and Sigma 18-125/3,8-5,6 DC OS HSM. I'm pretty tired on my d5100 because i think it's to less features on it and preformance so i thinking it's stopping me to dom what i want to do. So should i get the D7100 or some new lenses? Best Regards Johannes

@Darien0309 11 лет назад

Great review, I'm thinking of upgrading from a Nikon D90 to this camera. What lense where you using taking the shots from the Baseball game? Overall bang for the buck is this one of the better camera's in this class? And do you think it is worth the upgrade? Thanks for the video!!!

@AllanAHJones 11 лет назад

hey JaredPolin , i hav a sony a77 are i'm planning on switching to nikon for the lowlight high ISO performance do u think the d7100 is worth the switch or should i jus go fullframe and get the d600.

@jazzman1626 6 лет назад

Anyone know how to access the “network” submenu of the “setup” menu? It is greyed out whatever I try.

@jazzman1626 6 лет назад

Found the answer. You need a network adaptor (Ut-1) that goes onto the accessory shoe on top of the camera to be able to access the network submenu. It is expensive for what it does. I also found a way of making a secure connection to the WU-1a adaptor via the Nikon Mobile Utility app. Now the lag in qdslr dashboard app live view is smooth and in sinc. I tried it out on my tv and it was exactly in sinc with no lag!

@kirikei 9 лет назад

I am currently living in China and I can have the D7100 for a really cheap price. I am a total noob when it comes to cameras but your video really helped me. I hope to start amateur pictures with this model
