Nikon 7100 has been anounced

[Hobby Shooter]

This looks to be a great piece of equipment. Great for the competition. But the price seems very low. Are they doing the same mistake here as they did with the D800 and selling it too cheap?

Just a note, when it comes to the 6D taking only SD and the 5D3 having one SD and 'only' one CF slot, a lot of people have come down hard on that deeming the cameras being close to useless. Where are they now when this one takes only SDs?

Disappointed.

Yes, it's more a 70d (my guess $1400+, iif it even exists) equivalent ... but disappointing? For $1200?! Starting Price! This is so economical I first thought it would be a typo - probably that's why Canon will expand the ff route like their CEO recently said, more money to be made in the high-end enthusiast's segment. The only positive news for Canon: The d7100 will be sold out for months, so Canon will have some time to counter.

i do not see low light captured images this time though? normally, nikon will post some of low light capture images on any new models, but not this one. however, imo, look like the photographer was pulling fill light on the first image quite a bit (note: take a look at yellow color exposing directly to sunlight and beneath water - camera angle was not perpendicular with water surface; therefore, reflect light from water will be lost and will be dark in the image since the photographer was trying to get correct color from the plane. however, this is just a guess based on my understanding about light... nothing scientific though. in addition, set of exposure at 1/500 seconds, f/11 with iso 100 is normally for bright snow to my understanding...)

in short, nice capturing images and all are sharp to my taste... i am not a nikon everyday user, but only weekend at costco, so put it in costco warehouse for me to play around with

canon... canon... canon... where is my 7d mark ii, do not turn me down and please post un-edited for us to see please...

The 7100 seems to have an very good IQ with low noise up to Iso 6400.
Better superb IQ @6400 then low IQ @25600....

And, this Cam has an an very good AF with an big AF area in the screen. And Able to use lenses with an maximal aperture of 8!

(I would be pleased to use my 100-400 with my 1,4 III converter on the 7D2....)

i GUESS it is pretty hard for nikon to sold out d7100 as soon as they want since nikon users already hear about the rumors of nikon d400

This was discussed on an Nikon blog too: The D400 will an high end crop model. priced between the D600 and 800. Very fast AF, many cross sensors, maybe continuous raw shooting @5 fps. UHS-I fast cards....

One question: New sensor technology by using "white" dots (not only red green blue) to get really white dots. Does thaht Canon use too in the newer Cams?

i do not know the answer to your question however, i think the white dots are used to adjust brightness of nikon display? i hate auto brightness though. my 5d mark iii auto brightness was driving me nut during first use of shooting a wedding (note: fyi, i am not wedding photographer. i just want to learn while shooting though ) )

So does this mean the d300s died? Or is this only one of possibly 2 high end crops?

No aa filter, interesting. Canon's about to be beaten hard it seems. I hope they at least have the option of no aa filter yet.

and you base that on what?

Wow, another good product from nikon, maybe the next 7d2/another canon camera will be better than before 8)

It looks like everybody compares D7100 with 7D2 rumors but in my opinion this camera should be competition to 70D ... Specs are really interesting with very nice price tag but we will see how it performs in the real world situations. I'm especially interested in reviews of ISO performance, f/8 center point AF and how IQ is affected by missing low pass filter.

I would really like to see some Nikon features to become standard in Canon enthusiasts level cameras as well. For example 100% viewfinder and 2 SD card slots.

I bet 70D will have an 11 or 9 points AF, 1 SD card slot, smaller and priced almost the same as D7100. Viewfinder will be around 95-97%.

YES Nikon, bring 'em on! 8)

oh boy, I just love this!

D7100 makes the 70D look a total looser already. Destroyed on the ground. I confidently expect the D7100 sensor to have 1.5 EV better dynamic range and way better per-pixel sharpness than whatever sorry ppiece of sensor cr*p Canon will be willing to put into the 70D ... bye bye AA-Filter!

And iI also expect the price to be lower than the 70D ... like D7000 vs. 60D and D800 vs. 5D III ... hehehehe!

Really hope, Nikon will soon follow this up with a D400 that destroys an "incrmentally updated" 7D Mk II - as per the CR specs (!). Double whammy!

Canon needs to be pressed flat against the wall ... maybe that'll wake them up and they get back to bring truly innovative and meaningful new products.

I for one would like a 5D IV please, with 1D-X AF-system, sensor with better DR than D800, innovative Eye Control Focus v 2.0, built-in Canon-RT radio commander, X-sanc 1/500s. Price? Like Nikon D800.

A BIG +1 ..... right on the spot.

Canon gather up yourself.... you are destroyed by Nikon.

A lot more features packed in the cameras ( vs Canon DSLR offer) at a much lower price......

Yes nikon, please awaken the slumber giant that is Canon Inc.

It kinda reminds me when Intel was loseing out big time to AMD on the Athlon and Opteron market for years. Then Intel said enough, and I've never seen AMD recover fully.

Another body from Nikon without AA-filter. Well done.

And Canon still has zero. :'( Could this be because of their love for video?

Yes, yes and yes.

I agree with everything you said, but strangely enough, Canon will easily outsell the D7100, just like outsold the D800 with the 5D3.

Canon is still riding high on their "good name", and it seems they'll be able to do so for many years ahead. :-\ Sad but true.
