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

As a result, we have an excellent camera, which has a significant minus one: if you often (very often) shoot, you will need to repair the shutter mechanism. For me, it broke down at 15 thousand and the second time at the 25 thousand. By the way, many people don’t take so many shots in their entire lives, so these are my nitpicks again.
An excellent device, the case is also durable (in moderation). Many times he accidentally dropped it, doused it with juices, everything was nothing to him. Only recently I dropped it along with the flash and a huge crack appeared around the hot shoe. The shoe itself works properly, but the flash on it hangs mercilessly. So unfortunately the entire top panel will have to be replaced.
For this reason, I am already switching to the full-length D600 with its magnesium body and a guaranteed shutter life of 150,000 frames.

Good luck to everyone and creative success;)

Pros

1) Matrix and again matrix. She, like the processor, inherited from the older model D7000. The picture is just super, in the lightroom all the shadows and highlights from RAW are pulled out with a bang! Quiet enough for crop, ISO 3200 is quite workable for publishing on the World Wide Web. 2) Swivel screen - great! The screen is just made for video! I shot more than three hundred videos on it, if desired, it can be deployed with the screen inward to save battery and save the display. 3) 3.5 mm port for an external microphone (by the way, if you often shoot video, be sure to buy it, the built-in microphone is not of very good quality, you will clearly hear how you turn the focus ring. I generally keep quiet about the noise from autofocus) 4) Ergonomics - everything is good with this! 5) Sufficiently hardy and durable. He has served me for two years. 6) Auto ISO - in the settings I set the limits for changing the sensitivity and shutter speed that I needed, and after that you can forget about setting it up. 7) Battery. With the declared 600 frames, I calmly squeezed all 1400 out of it. Not a single device from this price category will last that long. 8) Build quality: nothing creaked or fell off in two years. Well, except for one case, but this is my cant, more on that in the comments. 9) Burst speed and capacious buffer. + a lot more, very cool device

Cons

1) Minus. Big fat minus. Repaired the shutter mechanism twice. Although, with my not sickly run of 40 thousand shots, as well as my penchant for reportage shooting pace, this is quite justified. 2) Plus one more, but this little nitpick to all nikons: Well, why didn't they implement menu navigation through the wheel? For canons, this is very convenient and navigation is much faster for them. 3) Just one customizable button. But this is an amateur segment, what can you do. 4) No built-in autofocus motor. You will need to buy lenses with a built-in autofocus motor, which are more expensive than their non-motorized counterparts. But this is again an amateur camera, so these nitpicks are not so significant for such a low cost of the camera. 5) Autofocus: often prowls in the dark. Plus, just one cruciform dot, which is not buzzing. But the budget, so no more.
