How does this camera compare to the nikon d7100?

I bought a D610, but it was a gift for my husband, so I really can't compare. You could ask him if you want, <smith@lightlink.com>

To expand on another response, the most critical difference is the FX vs DX. That means that the image sensor on the FX (full frame) is larger and able to capture a greater area compared to a DX (digital, cropped frame.) Full frame lenses can be used on a DX camera, but it is a waste because the sensor can't see all of the image projected by the lens. Imagine the way looking through a toilet paper roll limits your angle of view, as an example of how this works. Putting a DX lens on an FX camera is possible, but the sensor is a greater area than the projected image, meaning the periphery of the picture would be blank. If you are a hobbyist, you probably don't need the full frame camera (nor the expense of it or the lenses required to get the most out of it.) The D610 is an upgrade from the d7100, but for the price to be worth it, you need to have a full frame lens.

One advantage for the D7100 is the max shutter speed of 1/8000, versus 1/4000 for the D610. In general, I see the upgrade path for the D7100 as the D750.

I never used Nikon D7100, but a I think that is very good and the only really diference is the sensor, because in D610 is full frame.

The D610 is a full frame camera. The d7100 is a DX sensor. They are both excellent machines with all the bells and whistles that most photographers will ever need, but a full frame camera gives your images more room to crop. The FX lenses that you own will perform with more detail and sharpness then you will see on a DX camera. You will want to upgrade to a full frame camera eventually. What you get for your money with the 610 will make you shake your head and wonder how Nikon does it. If you can swing it, get the 610.

I purchased the YN-468 for my Nikon D3200 and it performs beautifully. I see no reason why it would not work on the D7100. it also works as a slave with the D 3200 which was quite a pleasant surprise for me. This flash is well worth the price and I would buy another in a heartbeat.

The unit uses the same batteries as the D7100. It takes only one. There is also a separate holder that comes with it that holds several AA batteries. This doesn't necessarily double the battery life but does give you a lot more battery power to shoot with. When this one goes down the internal one in the camera picks up. Also the addition of the grip increases your burst rate on the D7100. It is a good deal and I am happy with mine and use it every day. Larry

Rx100 has a bigger sensor, so the quality of the image is much better. The price between bouth cameras reflect that difference. It is been said that the menus and shooting experience of the sony is so so. I had the lx7 and the menu and the controls are very intuitives. If the picture quality is your preference in a pocket camera, the Ricoh Gr is the best chooise (more expensive too: it has an Aspc sensor, like your D7000) but is has a focal fixed lens (28mm) instead of a zoom. All these cameras shoot in raw, have manual exposition and other dslr functions.

I have both the D3200 and a D7100 I use it for both from time to time it works well with both of them.

I upgraded from the D90, haven't used the D3100. I'd expect it's a good upgrade as the D3100 has been upgraded twice. I think waiting at least ntil the second upgrade makes sense as the next upgrade is more incremental than revolutionary. I think you'll like the D7100. I find it easier to operate and use thatn my D90 even though I had it 3 years. Have fun shooting with whatever you choose.

The selling point was the 24.1 MP picture size. The D5100 had a few more features, but every review site that I went to said the pic quality between the two are virtually the same. It is an entry level camera that won't break the bank. So far I have been very pleased with the performance and picture quality.

my daughter wanted to move up from a point and shoot. I myself have the d7100. The price was good, the pixels were great and my lenses fit

Pentaprism vs pentamirror. D7100 has better viewfinder. That's important as the viewfinder is used (almost) every time one takes a photo.

The Nikon compatible version of this lens will work fine on the D7100. Keep in mind however that the D7100 is an excellent camera that will not achieve it's full image potential with this lens as it is a lower end lens and is optically "so-so". The D7100 is a great camera that can produce great photos with the use of great lenses. By the way, I own this lens and it did a good job on my D200, especially the macro function which is hard to beat with any other lens. Otherwise for awesome normal telephoto duty skip this one and go with the Nikon 70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6G AF-S VR Telephoto Zoom Nikkor lens. It's great for this camera.

I wouldn't buy this for d7100. Focal length is not useful for a crop sensor on the wide end. It's pretty fat and heavy lens, I would look into 16-85mm

Main thing to know is that, unless you're shooting the d7100, you won't have autofocus (this lens doesn't have the focussing motor in the lens) -- I think the 7100 is the only DX body that has a motor in the body as well.

The reason i ask is D7100 is a 23.5 mm sensor and this lens is made for a 36mm sensor or a full frame sensor.. May be you should look at some DX sensors .. If you are inclined on this lens then i would suggest to save up a little more and get the D600 or D800... its definitely worth it and you will enjoy it a lot...just my suggestion.. :)

Yes, its a very good choice for bird photos. I also have a D810, but I use the D7100 because of the 1.4X factor for my bird photography.

It works for my D7000, so I can't imagine that it wouldn't work for the D7100, since they have identical flash subsystems.

I have both D700 and D7100. On a D7100 I can, I guess in d3100 you can too!

Odd that Amazon's camera compatibility widget says it is not compatible, but yes it is. The D7100 has a built-in autofocus motor, but even if it didn't the lens has an AF-S motor. In any case, yes this lens will work very well with the D7100.
