Hasta La Gadget!

The Nikon D7100 was announced just last month and if you were thinking about getting your hands on it, it seems that you could be looking at a possible $100 discount come 14^th of March, which is when the camera is expected to start shipping. Unfortunately this purported discount will only apply to the camera with the kit lens (18-105mm), so if you were hoping to get the discount for the body-only version, you’d be out of luck. Priced at $1,596.95, if the rumors are true, you should be able to pick it up for $1,496.95 which we guess seems like a pretty good deal. This isn’t the first time Nikon has announced such a deal. In fact they did something similar with the Nikon 1 V2 last year, so it wouldn’t be completely out of the question if they did something similar with the D7100. Either way don’t get your hopes up just yet, but be sure to keep your eyes peeled and mark the 14^th of March down on your calendars.

Not eager to fork over two grand for Nikon’s full-frame D600? You might take interest with the company’s new D7100, a lightweight DSLR with a brand new DX-format (APS-C) sensor and a handful of other goodies to boot. The 24.1-megapixel cam’s imaging technology follows a now-commonplace industry trend by dropping the optical low-pass filter in favor of enhanced resolution. Naturally, the D7000 successor includes a sensitivity range of ISO 100 to 25,600 (Hi 2), along with improved noise reduction for better results in low-light. There’s a D4-like EXPEED 3 processor with support for 6 frames-per-second shooting in any mode, even when capturing 12- or 14-bit RAW images. A unique 1.3x DX crop function boost that rate to 7 fps, however, while capturing a maximum of 15.4-megapixel stills and 1080/60i or 50i video, compared to 1080 30/25/24p in the regular mode. There’s a 3.2-inch 1.229M-dot LCD, an OLED display inside the viewfinder for crisper data readout, and plenty more if you read on!
