The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

I switched to Nikon D7100 after selling Canon 60D. Suddenly, right? I was tired of the fact that, depending on the shooting conditions, up to 30% of the frames were stupidly sent to a technical marriage, and less than 20% never happened at all. That is, the camera did not pull out. For example, shooting on an overcast day in the forest at ISO800 produced such a noise level that the dark and black areas turned into a mosaic.

On the same camera, if the picture did not work out, then in 95% of such cases I messed up myself. I set the exposure pair incorrectly, chose the wrong shooting angle and the depth of field left, etc. But I must note that without a thoughtful study of the instructions for the 7100, it’s just not possible to master it.

Pros

1. Working high ISO. Specifically, in my copy, the 3200 produces images suitable for further processing. 2. A new matrix without a low-pass filter, which on Canon gave a branded gray tone. 3. Ergonomics of external controls and good menu logic. 4. Screwdriver. I do not need it, but its presence can play a decisive role in choosing a camera, if you start from lenses. 5. Very viscous RAW. 6. In the secondary market, the price of the camera has dropped significantly compared to new ones, with low mileage and good technical condition. This is a great opportunity to buy a full-fledged DSLR, and buy a couple of lenses with the remaining money. 7. Two memory cards! RAW are written to fast, and camera JPEGs are written to slow. Photo archive on the spot. 8. Doubtful extensions like GPS and WiFi are missing. 9. A fairly powerful flash, which makes it possible to shoot indoors, in conditions of combined lighting with a different spectrum. We fasten the aperture, set the shutter speed to 200 and go. 10. Excellent color rendering.

Cons

1. The strange work of video filming. 2. Demanding on lenses almost like FF. Still, covering 24MP is not an easy task. No wonder Nikon released several new DX-glasses, designed specifically for 24MP APS-C sensors. I did not find other features that can be called shortcomings of the camera itself.
