The road to practice for photographers Nikon D7 100 trial notes

IT 168 Evaluation My first contact with SLR cameras was in April, 20 12. I used a Nikon D90 borrowed by a friend. This DX format SLR camera has a shoulder screen, which feels good and is easy to operate. I have used it for a long time. Later, in February 20 13, Nikon released the latest D7 100. Many people say that this camera combines the advantages of Nikon D90 and Nikon D7000 and has been improved. He's a good friend of the photographer. After waiting for almost two years, we finally started D7 100 at the beginning of this year. It happened that IT 168 was recently writing about the use of this camera, so I took some photos taken in the zoo to contribute.

What's good about Nikon D7 100?

Nikon D7 100 adopts 2465438+ effective pixel CMOS sensor, and cancels the low-pass filter. For high-pixel SLR cameras, removing the low-pass filter can obviously highlight the advantages of shooting clarity, but you need to be careful of moire fringes. Then, its sense of control almost caught up with Quan Huafu Nikon D600, with shoulder screen, double dial wheel and double shooting mode dial, which can be said to make the operation most convenient. Manipulation is a professional feeling, suitable for beginners to learn and ponder, and also suitable for enthusiasts like me to control quickly. Finally, Nikon D7 100 focusing system, continuous shooting speed and 1.3 times cropping function.

Let's talk about 1.3 times cropping mode first. This function is to cut the photo to the original APS-C frame size, that is, the middle part, and the whole picture will look farther. When I photographed this tiger, the sight distance was about 15 meters. The longest lens in my hand is 120mm, the equivalent focal length is 135mm, and the focal length is 180 mm. Then, after the cropping function of 1.3 times, the field of view reaches 234 mm, so what you can see in this tiger photo is still relatively large. Of course, after two cropping, the pixel must be excellent. Nikon D7 100 is 24 million pixels. If the machine in your hand is only/kloc-0.0 million pixels, the picture may not be clear.

Then there's continuous shooting speed. You should know that animals really can't pose, and the animals in the zoo don't give you a chance to pose. Generally speaking, in order to capture these uncontrollable animals, not only the photographer should have enough lens sensitivity, but also the camera's focusing speed and continuous shooting speed should keep up. Nikon D7 100 has multiple CAM 3500DX autofocus sensor modules, and each of the 5 1 autofocus points can focus quickly. With the 1.3 times cropping function in DX format, the 5 1 autofocus point covers the picture to be shot, which is simply a worry-free snapshot.

Then there's continuous shooting speed. Some people may say that focusing fast is not enough. If you shoot a moving object, you should have a high-speed continuous shooting and make sure that most photos are clear. I think Nikon D7 100 is more competent. After all, the autofocus point of 5 1 covers the whole picture, and then its focusing speed is about 7 frames per second in 1.3 times cropping mode, which can capture dynamic objects quickly and accurately. The same is true for using this function in sports photography.

Finally, talk about pixels. Nikon D7 100 has a high pixel of 24 million, and does not use an optical low-pass filter. And its release has officially made Nikon SLR enter the ranks of high pixels. These high-pixel SLR cameras are directly oriented to various commercial photography.

I have to say that Nikon D7 100 has another feature that is easily overlooked, that is, it is much lighter than many SLR cameras. In this era of burden reduction, portability can make people feel more relaxed, otherwise, how can there be micro-orders to seize the SLR market? Nikon D7 100 is designed according to the rhythm of this era. Shooting animals is a very tiring activity, and the zoo is very big. I can't stop walking around, so our Nikon D7 100 won't make me feel tired. I don't feel too uncomfortable with a portable tripod.

There is a big difficulty in shooting in the zoo, that is, many animals are kept in cages or glass rooms, which makes the shooting process more chaotic. It is very hard to wait for the right time to shoot with a camera, so the D7 100, which is light, easy to operate and high in performance, gives me many reasons to feel at ease.

Many people say that APS-C camera is not suitable for photographers, and most people still recommend full-frame camera. What I want to say here is that the comprehensive performance of Nikon D7 100 has not lost to the full-frame camera. D7 100 has fully shouldered the heavy responsibility, relying on the painting texture brought by high pixel and brand-new image processor. There is also the photographer I mentioned, who is completely based on hobbies and likes street shooting and humanities. Under these requirements, the 5 1 point autofocus of Nikon D7 100+1.3 times cropping +7 frames per second perfectly solved the problem.
