India - Test images - My D7100 just arrived
Mar 29, 2013 08:58:34 #
I just got my D7100 and after some minor settings in the menu I rushed out to one of my favourites spots in the neighbourhood. Being evening and on the West coast, light was fading fast, and so birds were making their way home.
Here are some sample images that I managed to get in the hour I spent out. I was lucky, this is not an example of the wealth of the birdlife in my area.
It gave me an opportunity to test for poor light conditions using ISO's of 1600 and above. The lens I used is my trusted 70~300 4.5 ~5.6 G VR.
The bee image was taken when the light was getting particularly poor in the foliage where he was.
My son has taken to photography and I gifted my D7000 to him.
The D7100 appears to make a good companion for my D600. I hope to eventually get the new 80~400 lens Nikon recently introduced, for this body.
I am quite impressed with the 1.3 crop feature. The female sunbird (first image) is cropped thus.

Stunning shots.
Cheers! Angler. I was a bit skeptical about buying it without any references or feedback.
Happy I did.
