Great camera, owned one. Basically the same as the d7200, same sensor, only difference is the wifi connectivity and some minor upgrades. Worth the money.
This is a fantastic camera! I purchased it a few years back when I was re-entering the photography scene. This was the perfect camera for me - easy enough to use, but with advanced features for me to be challenged with. I have since given this camera to my daughter, and purchased another for my husband. I upgraded to the D810, which is almost more than I can handle in terms of weight. I highly recommend the D7100 for an additional backup for the Pro, and for a challenging workhorse for the hobbyist.
@Xplosivo1,
Sorry for the delay but I have expidited this up the line as the reason is not clear from my end as to why this is taking an unusual amount of time for your order to arrive. I have not forgotten and I on top of it.
What is the lens that is bundled with this? Also, I own this camera (along with 3 other nikon DSLRs). It's very good for the advanced hobbyist / professional. Like most of these cameras at this level, 90% of the features won't get used by the typical user... there is a cool automatic time lapse feature which I personally use a lot... This has nice HD video as well. As expected, the camera takes excellent images, uses all the nikon family lens and is a solidly built. I've taken over 19000 images with mine and going strong. (I also have a D70 and D90)
Hi,
I don't have this exact camera, but you shouldn't feel like the DX (crop) sensor has an effect on your lens buying options. The fact is, you have more lens options with the DX than you would an FX camera, because both types will be compatible with the smaller DX sensor. Also, while it's always good to have multiple lenses for different types of shooting, its worth mentioning that Henri Cartier-Bresson only ever shot with a 50mm lens. That's not to say you should only shoot a 50mm, because what you like in a shot may be different from what Henri liked. But sometimes its good to remind ourselves that it's rarely the lens, but the person operating it.
If you're looking for a zoom lens, the 18-105 is probably a good choice. I have one, and I find that it has a lot to offer for varied functionality. It's smaller aperture does extend your DOF a bit, which may result in too much background detail for your taste, but you do have a lot of choice when you're shooting in most situations with that kind of range, and its relatively cheap.
For portraits, photographers generally prefer 85mm prime lenses. With prime lenses, you can get much larger apertures for not as much money; the 85mm 1.8 AF-S from Nikon is under $500, which is less than you were looking to spend for the 17-55mm 2.8. This video hits theses points and a few more.
Given what you say you have, what you want to do, and if it were me, I would utilize lenses like this:
35 prime - Landscape, street, group shots
50 prime - Street, Portraits
85 prime - Dedicated portraiture
18-105 or 17-55 - Everyday shooting, range of framing options, larger aperture
Personally, I'm not a fan of zoom lenses, I'm comfortable shuffling my feet a bit for a shot, because I hate to sacrifice larger apertures afforded by prime lenses just so that I can close in on a subject.
