My D7100 was having trouble with fine tuning my 80-200 on a calibration target.  It would be perfectly sharp on the target, but front-focused IRL.  So what did I do?  Fine tuned IRL!  I used a sign...

Before the latest ACR update, you could hack the D7100's RAW files to read as D5200, and ACR would have no problem opening them.  After the update, ACR's rendering was exactly the same as the fake...

I find that a Radius of around 1 -1.5 brings out the most sharpness.  If you have a fast enough video card, you can drag the Radius slider back and forth and see where it transitions from...

Check this...

Exactly.  Makes the camera much better for shooting sports and wildlife.  You can get up to 14-15 shots in 12-bit compressed RAW at 7fps, and even more if you slow the rate down.

For everyone complaining about the puny buffer, switch to 12-bit compressed, crop mode, and slip in a 95MB/s card, and you get 14-15 shots at 7fps before the buffer dries up.  And it refills...

You can use subject tracking to maintain focus on an object, though it'll hunt every time it thinks the object is out of focus.  Not worth using.  Pros never use AF because of this, no matter how...

The in-camera HDR is OK, though you need a tripod to do it successfully.  It doesn't align images at all.

I was actually VERY happy that the D7100's skin tones and color overall were more accurate than the D7000's (previously owned).  It's something you really don't see being mentioned in reviews, so...

Depending on what you shoot, a monopod should suffice.  A steadicam is more for video, though a shoulder rig could technically be used for both.

You have to set it to burst mode (CL or CH) to get a proper bracketing set.

Nice images, but the lens is VERY  soft.  You'll be amazed by what detail a sharp lens can capture with the D7100! :)

All the studio tests and comparisons I've seen really only show about 1 stop.  I'm sure there are situations where it can vary, but the vast majority have been the usual 1 stop difference between...

Interesting.  Looks like they're using the old locking dial from the D7000.

Camera shape is different.  There's a chance that it'll fit if you shave the top edges of the grip down.  But there's also a chance it still won't because of the alignment pin and connector...

Did you send the lens along with the camera to Nikon?

Yup, as previously stated, the bigger the print, the further you'll stand back.  The same idea as viewing a 1080p computer monitor vs a 47" 1080p HDTV.  Same resolution, but they both look crisp...

I've never owned a D60, but I've shot with my friends' D50 and a D70s, and yes, it's a BIG jump from either of those.  Also owned a D90, and and it was still a good improvement in color and high...

Exactly.  The camera performs exactly as Nikon has specified, so there is no actual issue.  It's just people nitpicking. If you need a big buffer, set the camera to crop mode in 12-bit compressed,...

There are lots of buttons and dials.  Doesn't mean you have to use them.  You can shoot exactly the same on the D7000 as you can on the D3200.  Only difference will be better image quality.  You'll...
