 Nikon D7100

I chose the Nikon D7100 based off of the large reputation, positive reviews and impressive results.  Nikon took on a difficult challenge upgrading the already flawless D7000, yet they did.  The public had high-standards for the popular brand and was eager for a new and improved camera.  The Nikon D7100 is one of the latest DSCR to feature a 24 MP Sensor revealed in 2012.  In review, its producer found a way to combine extraordinary image quality, first class noise performance and solid body. 

                Nikon has made a significant upgrade from the D7000.  The D7100 is the first Nikon DSLR to omit an Optical low pass filter.  In theory, this action results in a higher resolution than the DS2000 and D3200 combined.  Other upgrades include a larger LCD for viewing.  The AF system with algorithms was borrowed from the top of the line Nikon D4. A significant upgrade from the D7000 with a full HD and expandable ISO to 25.600.

                Nikon is a very trusted name with 4 out of 5 starts from trusted retailers.  Being a popular name brand, Nikon has a tough task to impress both the public and professionals, which has definitely resulted in their favor. With a 24.1 pixel camera at the cost of $999, I believe they have done just that. After comparison to other cameras, even within the same brand, Nikon has truly put a large existence of work into this camera, and it shows. The Nikon D7100 is absolutely a great camera and my number one choice.
