Why my camera bag is so FUGLY.
I prefer a camera bag that doesn't look like a camera bag. I will throw a towel over the top and no one would give it a second look. Having a nice obvious camera bag may have a place in high class wedding and event situations where you have to look good in order to fit in. But for most situations you want to keep a lower profile.

Using my old gear just for fun.

Sometimes I use my old D200 and my old 400mm manual focus lens just for the joy of using it. The D200 really reminds me of a great film camera like the F4.

"Killer" rapid at the end of the season.
I've had my 7100 almost 10 years now and it still works great, I love the heft, it's solid, I feel like I can take it anywhere , in any conditions and pretty sure I'll make it back with great shots and camera no worse for wear, what more can you ask?
Love my D200 and D700.! You can keep your Zs.
Great!
That's why I kept my Pentax *istDL & K100D 6 megapixel cameras from 2005 & 2006 both I bought new and they both work as good as the day they were bought. Sure they have there limitations with ISO range. I Limit ISO to 800 as anything above has to much noise . And they tend to under espouse but with modern photo editing software the pictures can look just as good as my newer cameras do
How do I keep the screen live all through
To be truthful, I don't really know. I almost never use live view, I always look through the viewfinder. I believe that you can find the LV button on the back, there is a switch where you can slide back and forth from video to photo. Either way, the live view should stay on until you push the LV button again, or shut off the power.
Awesome man!
Thanks.
But digital D only affects jpgs, it doesnt do anything to the RAW files, the files you actually want, cameras have a lot more dynamic range in the shadows than the highlights, so i'd say to expose for the bright background at base iso and boost the darker parts of the images later Opposite is true for film, that stuff has a lot more dynamic range in the highlights In general i'm really not sure why you're saving your images in both jpg and 1,3x crop, you're already on an APS-C sneosr and you can do all of that in photoshop afterwards
Sweet content, I bust out some of my old cameras also, still love using my sony R1, nikon d70. I'm currently using a zv--e1 for photos and video. Love my fuji xt10 still one of my all time favorites. Love your channel, your more realistic and I can relate to your channel. There's so much camera drama with the big channels keep up the great content. 👍
@JJJAMES444 Thanks, man.
Cheers Joel, a very good summary of the benefits of crop mode. I might give it a go after this.
Autofocus deteriorates due to less light reaching the sensors. I use crop mode to increase depth of field & reduce file size to speed up image processing.
It has a flash, which can be used when taking portaits under harsh sunlight. I have a z6 and d700(bought used cheap). I am still thinking about juat going back to d7100. Or the just the z6. Dont know.
I have tried more serious models. But these 7000 series are ok. One little thing. Over time, the screen pixels burn out on the display. The sensor is ok. It is better to put UV filters in the sun. Otherwise, burnout sensor pixels without a uv filter in the sun. On a trip or for work. Nikon sensors burn out like other SLR sensors. When buying old models, Nikon tested the variant against black pages. You can quickly see the situation of the pixels of the sensors.
Just keep in mind that in rafting photography it is not uncommon to shoot one thousand photos per day every day for eighty days. So, about 80,000 per season. The shutter usually starts acting up in the fifth season, around 400,000 actuations. I have never encountered the pixel burnout that you mention, probably because I replace the camera every fifth year or so.
Nobad Nikon D7100. 5100 . 5200 model good photography and full movies . Boughmoney 150 $ today Nikon D7100 camera
$150? Wow. You'll love it.
You should try to get your DSC-R1 modified by ATG in IR or UV.
Good idea.
Have owned mine since it first came out. Had to save up for months to be able to afford it and still have it and still use it to this day. I need to pull the trigger and buy a d800/810/750 I would love to jump into full frame after all these years. I’m mainly a Fujifilm user lately though
The D750 is basically the full frame D7100. For sports and wildlife, full frame is not necessarily better.
I've owned one for years as well, and agree that like many DSLRs now, it is a great, affordable alternative to more contemporary and far more expensive mirrorless Nikons. But I do disagree about the rear screen. Its low resolution made me worry for a long time that my images were poorly focused, or it was a defect ... until I read that it is indeed a low-res screen. Now that I know, I am at peace with it.
I am usually using this thing outside, I have the brightness turned up to plus three. I guess that coming from the D200 the screen is shockingly good.
How would you get your photos to an iPhone is say you dont have a laptop at the moment.. with d7100 not having wifi.. ? Thank you
Maybe a SD card reader with a lightning connector.
I am surprised you care about the info button. Theres very little that shows up on the main display, which is not also shown on the top LCD. Most of the features you are talking about really things that should draw somebody to this particular camera. I should think you would be over having anybody seen selections by the time you're ready to graduate from a D3x00. Crop mode is usually more or less useless, since everything that it will do for you can be done in post-processing anyway. The 7100's real selling points are the two card slots (SD cards are after all notoriously unreliable), the in-body focus motor (you won't find that on a lower end model) that enables you to use very high quality older AF and AF-D Nikkor lenses that are surprisingly inexpensive used, the fact that there is a dedicated top LCD (don't need to waste the battery life or your eyes at night using the main LCD to see the basics), and the dust and weather resistance. I bought mine in 2013 when it had just come out. It's one of my favorite bodies. Its also somewhat more critical of lenses even than my D850, since the pixel pitch on the APS-C size sensor is so high.
I use this camera for a rafting company, so the pictures are not edited. Out of the camera is it. Personally, I usually use the top screen or the viewfinder to get my information , but when I need to show someone else what is going on, I like to use the big screen for that.
A lot of the drive behind G.A.S. is what i like to call "Peacockery". The camera is just a tool. It doesn't matter what it costs, what name is on it or, when it was made. It needs to stay out of the way and let You express Your vision. Sometimes Harbor freight can be as useful as snap-on. If you really need a different feature then buy that tool, otherwise, save your money. Don't fall into the "My dog's bigger than your dog" trap. If You are working as a pro then what ever provides the best return on your investment on every job is critical. If you're a hobby shooter just shoot what is most comfortable for you and is best suited to your needs. Latest is not always greatest. I still shoot some ccd cameras on occasion for reasons of my own. Restrictions can sometimes boost creativity. I divide my cameras up into bags based on age, etc. and sometimes I just tell my wife to grab me a bag. Whatever is in that bag is what i shoot that day - LOL. I've been doing this since i was 7 and i'm 75 now so i'm sure my approach isn't for everyone; but, i have fun with it. That's the bottom line for a hobby - just have fun! If it ain't fun, get a different hobby.
I keep thinking about trading my D200. I just can't do it.
I hear You. I still regularly use my D80, D800e and a pair of D7100's
I have a pair of D7100's and a D5200 that I still use regularly. Love the rendering of the Toshiba sensor.
It is a very high megapixel APSC. Just the thing for sports and wildlife.
@@Joel-your-photo-troll They work well for events. Mine mainly get used with CPL's at automotive shows/cruise ins these days. I use my e-m1x for wildlife.
@@qphase49 It is just a joy to walk around with. So small and fast.
Bought mine in 2014 and it was always a dependable workhorse. It became a backup, but I find myself grabbing it over the newer full frame because it just feels like an old friend. It has never let me down and come in clutch many times.
You hit the nail on the head with the old friend reference. It just feels like my favorite film camera with super powers. I hardly have to think to get the results that I'm looking for.
Agreed i think l see photography as painting light, so camera is just like the brush you use, required but not that important.
Lovely way of putting it.
I like my D7100 a lot, also the D7200.
It really is most of the camera that you need for almost anything.
I paid $90 for an excellent D200 boxed, with accessories. I love it! Paid $40 for a Nikon Grip, $45 for an 18-70mm. With the CCD, this camera is really under appreciated. (still miss the D300, but I do have the D700 & D810).
What a deal.
Frame rate is good, but the buffer is slow!
A good card helps a lot.
@@Joel-your-photo-troll I’ve got fast cards, but the buffer seems to lag behind anyhow. That 6FPS only goes the first 6 frames. I still like it, and use it a lot, but for birds in flight it’s not perfect. I do like the colors it produces!
@joeprete7424 yes, for birds in flight, it's a little lacking. For rafting, it's great. Just shoot short bursts. That is the main improvement of the D7200 is the deep buffer.
I always just leave the white balance on auto. You can easily fix any issues with it in post
Try a few with Daylight WB and see what you think.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and comments...yes I love my D7100 & just a great all round camera...I have a few lenses but mostly use my Tamron 18-270mm lens for general photography.... cheers from Australia 🦘🦘😊
Cheers from Colorado.
Yes I agree with your comments as I just love my D7100 even though I have a D500....I tend to use the D7100 for walk around photography & use a Tamron 18-270mm lens on most of the time..... just a great easy to use camera... cheers from Australia 🦘🦘😊
Actually 2005!
I am just learning on my 7100. I love it!
Check out the Scene mode. Pretty cool.
I'll say I learned something interesting today. While your content isn't something that applies to my personal interest, I will say that I think its great you're taking the time to do it. Whether its just for you or you're trying to grow- I think its great, and I'm always glad to see another person pursue their interests and share what they know. So thanks, Joel- I appreciated what I learned here today! 🌟
Thank you, I just want to share what knowledge that I have in order to help/inform other photographers. Thanks for watching.
Ya, like the sun is a hot spot and the video looks washed out. But I do agreeequipment is secondary to vision.
Yep, you are right. I broke my own rules, first I used a new phone that I don't really know how to use. I really could have used a graduated ND filter on the phone, I don't have one. You'll notice that I moved to a better location to shoot my shorts. Thanks for watching.
Im looking to buy a 80 200
I would suggest that you get one used. I wouldn't pay much more than $400 for it. Awesome lens, just a bit too massive for hand held use.
@Joel-your-photo-troll I have been looking at used ones I'm in the UK an there about £300 for a good clean one over here
What a deal!@@melmskilemz6307
@Joel-your-photo-troll I picked one up for mpb turned up a few days ago £262 including postage even came in the leather case
@@melmskilemz6307 If you don't have a teleconverter, get one. Does wonders for close focus.
I love this camera
Bro.... I just discovered that on my 35-70 lens that I purchased with the D7100 from KEH a few days ago. I need further explanation of what to use that for. Please help! Thank you for sharing, I never would have knowm. Ken M.
35-70 is good for normal of places and people, not too wide, not too long. A good compliment to the 70-300.
Hey man, so, that switch is so if you are using an old film camera you can unlock the aperture ring so that you can change the f/stop manually. On newer cameras you lock it on f/22 to allow the lens to work automatically.
@@Joel-your-photo-troll You're the best! Thank you!
Bro... thank you for sharing! I recently got an Excellent + graded from KEH and I am vary interested in lens like yours. Can you please let me know the sepcs on the lens, the type, model number if available? Thanks, Ken M.
The lens in the video is the Nikkor 80-200 D series f/2.8 zoom, but the lens that I use more often is the Nikkor AF-S VR 70-300, I can't live without that one. Also, old pre D autofocus lenses work great.
@@Joel-your-photo-troll Also, I found this description at KEH, "Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G ED VR Autofocus IF Lens {67}", is this what is your favorite lens? I would be interested in getting at your recommendation. Thank you, Ken M.
@@kenmarsh That is the lens alright. So much fun.
Great video. Very informative. I purchased the D7100 body in excellent A+ condition from KEH last week. I paid $350.00 shipped to my door. After being away from photography for 30+ years, I am building my knowledge base back up from watching videos like yours. Thank you for sharing! Ken M.
Thanks Ken. I have been using the D7100 as a professional rafting photographer for the last few years and it's great. I love it for wildlife and events as well. I have been doing a lot of musicians in low light and I find myself wanting something a little newer for that.
@@Joel-your-photo-troll Thank you for your response. I subscribed to your Channel. I look forward to seeing future videos that you create and what new camera gear that you should choose!
This is the best camera I've ever owned ❤❤❤❤
It just seems to get the job done, and it feels good doing it.
battery backup
Can I use the batteries and lens from the D3200?
The lens will work for sure, I don't know about the battery.
@@Joel-your-photo-troll Awesome! Thanx for the reply!
The D7100 uses the EN-EL15 the D3200 uses the EN-EL14, not interchangeable. Be careful when buying batteries as there are fakes.
Some time ago I had a Nikon D5600 (which I LOVE) and now I have a Sony A6000 and a friend of mine asked me why I changed if I liked the Nikon so much? The answer is misinformation, and everyone says that DSLRs are old and that it is better to go to mirror them as soon as possible, although it is not true. The same friend of mine told me if I wanted to change his nikon D7100 with a tamron 17-50mm VC lens and with a side grip, in terms of price (Argentina) it is more expensive than the sony, and since I have a 70-300mm lens from when I had the D5600 that I couldn't sell, I don't know what to do, currently the Sony A6000 in Argentina is around 450-500 dollars, and with luck the 7100 sells for 1000, but between 750 and 800 is a quick sale, and the lens is expensive also, and I don't have other Sony lenses (Expensive) In short, you don't have to think too much about cameras, I think that if it has between 20 and 24 megapixels it's already an excellent camera, it doesn't matter if it's from more than 10 years ago or more current like the D5600
There are so many different kinds of shooters out there. Some people set everything up in advance, and some people whip the camera out and start shooting. For the price,( $350 US used) it's hard to beat the D7100 for autofocus performance and frame rate. The D7100 kicks ass with the 70-300VR.
Dude, if you have the 70-300 already, get a used D7100 and you will have a killer setup. Then get a 24-70 used.
Going from the d5600 to the a6000 is a big downgrade
7100 focus is so sick
No doubt, it just works great with any era of lens, even the pretty old ones.
It's what the D7000 should have been.
@@alwynsmit3546 The D7000 is pretty good, but the D7100 has a few more useful features that I really use, like crop mode.
@@Joel-your-photo-troll I loved the sensor on the D7000. I hated the AF system & the finish. My D90 was better in both regards, which is why I was pissed. I felt Nikon took two steps forward & six steps back with the D7000. It's a pity, because the sensor in that D7000 was that good
I never owned a D 90 but I did wear out two D 70s both with more than 300,000 actuations. I had the D 7000 for about two weeks, decided that I needed the 24 MP and all of the other little things that the D 7100 offers.@@alwynsmit3546
Aaand it has the focus motor inside! I really love my 7100- it's now my 2nd body next to my D3s, and in many ways it is "better" than the D3s... sort of lol
Excellent point. The ability to use old lenses is a great feature.
I’m in some sort of dilemma. Would you advise to go for a camera with high specs and miss out on the wifi/Bluetooth feature (Nikon D7100) or go for lower specs but get the wifi/Bluetooth features (Nikon D5300) ? I intend to use the camera for wedding photography and state functions. A friend was asking me not to pick the D7100 because it doesn’t have the wifi feature however, I can’t stand missing out on all the good features the camera offers in exchange for wifi .
If Wi Fi is that important to you, it seems that you need the 5300. I'd say the D7100 is more for action, sports, wildlife and news. You don't really need it for weddings and such.
I just bought this camera €250 used, without a lens. I already have the D3100 with 3 lenses, so it's not a problem. I don't care if it's 10 years old, it's a great camera for a bargain price.
Very hard to beat for the money.
You know, after thinking about it, maybe bite the bullet and get a D7200.
The autofocus and the frame rate are really pretty dang good. It reminds me of an F4.
They lost theiir cooler and their beer it looks like. Looks like a hard plastic "boat".
Commercial trip, no cooler, regular Hypalon raft.
Genuinely curious why don’t that have the bridge at a point so debris and stuff like this don’t get wedged against it as easy?
It's a very old bridge. built before rafting was a thing.
I hate to ask, but what are your settings on that? I might be starting to shoot for a rafting company. Im sure I should have no problem. Im use to shooting action shots and the brighter the day, the better I am.
Full manual, ISO auto turned off. Picture control set to Vivid. 1/1/800th of a second, f/8 at ISO 800. Speed up or slow down the shutter speed to deal with any changes in lighting.
Got mine when it was introduced back in the day...still have it and use it today as a 2nd body...picture quality is outstanding
Can't beat it for the price.
It really does do the job well, no muss, no fuss.
Try shooting in raw and lower your shutter speed just a bit
Hi, yeah, the company wants me to shoot small JPEG, we take about 1500 pictures a day that need to be uploaded to the internet via a sketchy mountain connection. Large files would just overwhelm the system. I do keep my shutter speed a little higher than necessary in case a cloud rolls in and I need to slow it down four or five stops, then I still have about 1/500th at the low end.
