    your reviews are great and helped me tremendously. Very clear and concise. Once you've gone through a few reviews and write-up on the Internet (excuse the pun but) it all starts to become a total blur. You can end up knowing less than when you started and it's not helped by those people who find fault in absolutely everything and put you off one camera after another. These are fabulous reviews mate. I love people who show you stuff 'hands on'. Some of what I've read might as well be in Chinese. Many thanks.

    I just bought a D7100 for myself, and your reviews and videos have been a great help!

  • @TheRg191
    @TheRg191 10 років тому

    Just a few minor corrections incase people get misled; the D7000 did have bracketing (3 shots), interval timer shooting, the power switch illumination toggle and not all Nikon cameras have body focusing motors and therefore no on body MF/AF switches, the only DX bodies to have this are or were the D7000/7100 and the D100/200/300(s) you don't have to press down both mode & drive dial locks to adjust the settings you press one lock for the individual adjustment. I'm sure these slips were just momentary off the cuff mistakes(we all have them). Apart from sound quality, great video!

  • @punnu5997
    @punnu5997 9 років тому +2

    FYI :
    D7100 natively shoots 6fps and shoots 7fps in crop mode
    Another thing, it doesn't shoot 60p at 1080p, it shoots 60i, there is a huge difference in the quality of interlaced and progressive footage.
    And third 3-D tracking can be demonstrated by taking multiple shots on continous AF-C on a moving subject, not by taking pathetic street shots in single AF-S mode.

    Well I got the Nikon d 7100. Also picked up the vertical grip for it. Watched a lot of videos before spending the money. It is a great set up. Having lots of fun and getting great pictures. Looking forward to using it more. Had a Nikon d100 for 11 years and gave it to my daughter to take pictures of the grandkids. It has been a great camera. I hope to have the same experience with this D7100

  • @Faymusmedia
    @Faymusmedia  11 років тому

    I was using the Nikon 24-70mm 2.8. I recommend this lens for general photography. Unless you want primes then I recommend the 85mm 1.4G, 50mm 1.4G and 24mm 1.4G.

    I just ordered this to replace my old D90 I really wanted to go full frame with the 610 but can't afford it at the moment, this video review just made me feel ten times more satisfied with my purchase than I already was.

    @Faymusmedia  11 років тому

    You need to turn auto focus, and face detection off. Switch to video mode on the back and go into live view. Hold the button on the front left side of the camera (below the sync ports by lens mount) and push it in, then turn the dial. it must be in auto mode right now, turn auto exposure off as well.

    I bought the Tamron 70-300mm VC lens after watching your review on it. Looks like I'll be doing the same with this camera as soon as funds allow. I like the way you just concentrate on the camera review without any clowning around.

    Awesome review.... I just upgraded to a Nikon D7100!

  • @Faymusmedia
    @Faymusmedia  11 років тому

    I would use the full frame lenses 14-24mm (21mm-36mm equivalent) the 24-70mm (36mm-105mm equivalent) & the 70-200mm (105mm-300mm equivalent). This gives you a 21-300mm range. Its perfect, tack sharp glass.

  • @cyberathlete
    @cyberathlete 11 років тому

    Thanks again for the detailed response. I appreciate it. I changed settings as instructed.
    Rear dial in video mode. Live view button pressed and LV enabled. Changed focus mode 2 spot focus (pressing the button in the AF-M and then turning the front dial). Also changed focusing to Single Point so once focus locks it shouldn't focus again until I press the shutter button again. Did I miss anything?
    Also my camera is always in 'M' manual mode, so exposure shouldn't change. Still having issues :(

  • @LesMightyJ
    @LesMightyJ 11 років тому

    Thanks! One more question. If cost was a factor (I'm a student), what lens (Nikon or any other 3rd parties) would you suggest in general?

  • @Faymusmedia
    @Faymusmedia  11 років тому

    its because the screen compresses them to make room for the exif info. Here is the fix. Go to my menu, below the wrench. then go to add item. Then go to "review display" then go back to my menu and click on that option and click a check mark next to "image (without info) and then exit. Take a picture, then press the D-Pad up, now your image review is tack sharp and in full screen!

  • @LesMightyJ
    @LesMightyJ 11 років тому

    Were you using the kit lens in this review? Also, would you recommend 50mm F/1.8 or 35mm F/1.8 for general photography?

    @BoldtCave 11 років тому

    Yes, if you are shooting JPEG it will shoot 6fps in DX, or 7fps in 1.3 crop mode. It will also do that in RAW if you change it to 12-bit RAW mode. If you switch it back to 14-bit RAW it will only shoot in 5fps in DX, or 6fps in 1.3 crop mode.

    @edselby 10 років тому

    I've had my D300 since the day they came out. It is time to relegate it to my back-up camera. I ordered the D7100 today, and looking forward to shooting with it a LOT this weekend

  • @michaelnikonman7483
    @michaelnikonman7483 11 років тому

    Thanks for a nice review which has all the necessary facts and not only marketing. Myself I have a D7100 and a AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4G ED VR combined to a AF-S Teleconverter TC-20E III. This is an amazing package. Like you say in your review at 3:25 the benefits of FX lenses on this camera should be acknowledged. 24mp and no lowpass filter gives professional quality shots with a FX lens. For wide pics u might need a pair of DX lenses though.

    Hey Corey, Just wondering what camera you actually used to film this video? Video looks amazing. Thanks!

  • @BoldtCave
    @BoldtCave 11 років тому

    Switch to JPEG or to RAW 12-bit instead of 14-bit. When you hit Info it will indicate 7fps on the LCD. In my testing at 1/800th I was able to shoot anywhere from 99 to 102 JPEG shots in 13 to 15 seconds before the buffer filled. When I did the math the average of all my tests actually ran a tiny bit slightly more than 7fps. I had the same results with 12-bit compressed RAW, but it obviously filled the buffer faster. Using fast SD cards had better results than cheap cards so the card matters too.

  • @959style

  • @cyberathlete
    @cyberathlete 11 років тому

    Hmmm I used this camera the whole weekend primarily for video. I noticed that even after acquiring focus, the camera would start to re-focus again. This was a huge annoyance and shows up in my videos. Despite the fact that the subject was not moving at all, the camera would still adjust focus. Have you experienced the same issue?

  • @nickguzenko1895

    Hi Corey, need a suggestion i just upgraded to the D7100 and have a 18-200 and 35... I travel a lot and struggle with low light on the 18-200 (had a D60 for a while so D7100 should help..?) and swapping to 35 or carrying 2 lenses is a big challenge... is there a lens that can benefits of both lenses...?

    Corey, what is the eyepiece you have on the viewer of the camera please? Thank you.

  • @cyberathlete
    @cyberathlete 11 років тому

    The issue is not re-focusing. The issue is that it always has to re-focus. I could be recording a person sitting still on a chair and even though the person is in focus, the camera has to re-focus every few moments. I do read the manual for all my cameras (it's the first thing I do) D80, D300, D300s, D700, D7100. I have a lot of experience with the Nikon line...all I want to do is to be able to focus on a single spot and then not have the camera try to re-focus on its own.

    Curious about your harness. I don't see a "Sport" double on the website. What is is that you are wearing? Where can I get it?
    Good review by the way. I have been shooting with a D70s since 2006. I love it, but will upgrade to the D7100 which will perhaps be my last camera.
    Thanks Corey.

    Thanks for taking the time to make this video, it helped me decide on my next camera body. However, I would like to make a tiny suggestion... if you're going to shoot your reviews on the streets, then don't add any background music to your finished videos because it makes it difficult to hear your commentary, which is the purpose of watching a review.
    P.S... I really like your hair :-).

    How can the D7100 not be as sharp as the D800E if the D7100 has a higher pixel density? Could it be that the extra pixel density is exposing limitations in the lens?

  • @bobleone1381
    @bobleone1381 11 років тому

    I have this camera and LOVE it....outdoors in daylight or with a flash. I shoot a lot of indoor sports without a flash and I set it in manual mode shooting at shutter speed of 500, aperture at F2.8 (using 24-70 or my 70 to 200 both F2.8's) and ISO set to automatic and I find that with normal high school gym lighting, I am shooting at ISO 3200+ (many at 6400) and the pictures get pretty grainy. And in the darker spots, focus is sometimes not that sharp. I have to use Noiseware to clean up the grain and Lightroom to improve sharpness. I am thinking about the new D4s coming out soon. Do you think its worth the money to get better indoor pictures? I'm hoping it improves picture quality and saves me post processing time.

  • @Faymusmedia
    @Faymusmedia  11 років тому

    Agreed. I shoot strictly @ 14-bit lossless with this camera so all i get is 5fps.

    @Faymusmedia  11 років тому

    There should be no auto focus issues in video mode as auto focus shouldn't be on in the first place. It needs to be turned off. Since its on, its doing exactly what it supposed to do, refocus after you set the focus point, which is what continuous auto focus is. Take it off and all your problems are gone.

  • @BoldtCave
    @BoldtCave 11 років тому

    As far as speed and buffer... I find that it shoots plenty fast for sports at 7fps and has plenty of buffer to motor drive sports shots if I use compressed RAW instead of lossless compressed and 12-bit RAW instead of 14-bit.
    For fun, I switched to JPEG only, set the JPEG compression to "Size Priority" and set the file size to Medium\Basic. It took 14 seconds for the buffer to fill at 7fps and I was able to rip off 100 shots (which mathematically is a little more than 7fps).

  • @mikebreler9724
    @mikebreler9724 10 років тому

    Can you follow up on what you said at the beginning about how it has no aperture control. What do you mean .. not aperture priority in semi auto? You can't set aperture and have it set the exposure. Or vice versa? or what?

    • @Faymusmedia
      @Faymusmedia  10 років тому +1

      You have to turn live view off and change the aperture and then go back into live view.

    • @nathanjimenez4806

  • @georgeschenck3816
    @georgeschenck3816 10 років тому

    I got no issue with re-focusing in video mode. See my channel if you want some reference. May be you should read the manual a bit more. Don't get me wrong. Even though I own a D90 for 4 years and now a D7100, still find it useful to read the manual over and over.
