Design
Type
DSLR
The type of camera.
viewfinder
Optical viewfinder (OVF)
The type of viewfinder that the camera has.
weather-sealed (splashproof)
✔Nikon D7100 + 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR DX
The device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures caused by dust, raindrops, and water splashes.
screen resolution
1228k dots
A higher screen resolution provides a sharper image, making it easier to review your photos.
Has a built-in focus motor
✔Nikon D7100 + 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR DX
The focus motor moves the lens in order to autofocus. For system cameras, having a focus motor in the camera's body allows you to use a wide range of lenses, including lenses which do not have their own focus motor. For compact cameras, a focus motor is usually built-in.
Has a flip-out screen
✖Nikon D7100 + 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR DX
Flip-out screens can be useful for tricky shots.
viewfinder coverage
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
With 100% coverage, you can compose the image correctly when you capture the photo. With less than full coverage, you may have to crop your photos afterward to get them looking perfect.
screen size
3.2"
The size of the screen (measured diagonally).
weight
675g
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
Optics
sensor size
APS-C
One of the most important aspects of a camera is the size of its sensor. A larger sensor will capture more light, which results in improved low-light performance, dynamic range, and general image quality.
lens mount
Nikon F
The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.
megapixels (main camera)
24.71MP
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.
maximum ISO
6400 ISO
With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.
maximum expanded ISO
25600ISO
Expanded ISO allows you to go beyond the native ISO. It does this by digitally enhancing the image output. The resulting image will have less quality than when staying within the native ISO range, but it can be useful in certain situations.
has sensor shift stabilization
✖Nikon D7100 + 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR DX
With sensor shift, the image sensor (rather than the lens) moves to counterbalance any vibration of the camera. This means the image will be stabilised regardless of what lens is being used.
Fast continuous shooting is useful for catching action shots.
has AF tracking
✔Nikon D7100 + 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR DX
With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots.
Videography
video recording (main camera)
1080 x 30fps
The maximum resolution available for videos shot with the main camera. Although it may be possible to choose among other frame rates, those recordings usually have lower resolutions.
Has phase-detection autofocus for videos
✔Nikon D7100 + 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR DX
A phase-detection autofocus system is faster than a contrast detection autofocus system. Even when recording scenes with a lot of fast movements, the videos are sharp and clear.
has continuous autofocus when recording movies
✔Nikon D7100 + 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR DX
When recording movies they stay focussed and sharp.
has a microphone input
✔Nikon D7100 + 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR DX
A microphone port allows connecting external high-end or specialized microphones.
has a socket for a 3.5 mm audio jack
✔Nikon D7100 + 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR DX
With a standard mini jack socket, you can use the device with most headphones.
has a stereo microphone
✔Nikon D7100 + 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR DX
A stereo microphone allows to record audio files or movies in stereo without an external microphone.
Has timelapse function
✔Nikon D7100 + 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR DX
A timelapse shows a long passage of time sped up. A series of photographs taken from the same position over a long period is joined together to create a short video. It is great way to capture things like the setting sun, or clouds moving across the sky.
movie bitrate
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The higher the movie recording bitrate the better the movie quality with more and crispier details and less compression artifacts.
More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
Battery
Battery life (CIPA)
950shots
CIPA is an independent, standard measurement that determines how many shots a camera can take before the battery dies.
has a removable battery
✔Nikon D7100 + 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR DX
The battery is removable and can be replaced by the user if broken.
has a rechargeable battery
✔Nikon D7100 + 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR DX
The battery can be recharged and used over again.
has a battery level indicator
✔Nikon D7100 + 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR DX
An indicator shows you when the device has low battery.
battery power
1900mAh
Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.

Has dual card slots
✔Nikon D7100 + 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR DX
It has two memory card slots, allowing you to store more photos without switching cards. This is particularly useful on long shoots when you need more space.
has pixel shift shot
✖Nikon D7100 + 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR DX
The camera can take a series of shots, shifting the sensor slightly with each one. These can then be combined to create an extremely high-resolution image. It’s particularly useful for things like photographing artwork.
shoots raw
✔Nikon D7100 + 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR DX
A raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor. Raw files are so named because they are not yet processed and therefore are not ready to be printed or edited with a bitmap graphics editor.
supports lossless compressed raw
✖Nikon D7100 + 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR DX
It is capable of shooting stills in a lossless compressed raw format. This has all the advantages of shooting raw, while taking up much less storage space. The smaller file size also allows quicker read/write speeds.

Miscellaneous
resolution
1280 x 960px
Resolution is an essential indicator of a screen's image quality, representing the maximum amount of pixels that can be shown on the screen. The resolution is given as a compound value, comprised of horizontal and vertical pixels.
pixel density
500ppi
Pixel density is a measurement of a screen's resolution, expressed as the number of pixels per inch (PPI) on the screen. A higher pixel density translates into more clarity and sharpness for the images rendered on the screen, thus improving the quality of the viewing experience.
lens type
Zoom, Standard (Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR)
The type of lens.

La Canon Eos 70D ( sua diretta concorrente ) Nonostante le mirabolanti votazioni di Versus, non riesce nemmeno ad avvicinarsi alla qualità di questa macchina, che è costruita come le migliori professionali ( tropicalizzazione esclusa ) in formato amatoriale, mentre la Canon si evince chiaramente che è una machcina per fotografi delle vacanze. Sfido qualsiasi professionista a fare un servizio ( non un matrimonio...) con una Canon EOS 70D... Si ha la raffica più veloce ( che Versus vede com punto a favore ) però scalda talmente , che se continuate con la raffica, vi sembrerà che la macchina stia per sciogliersi nelle mani... L'unico vero pro, che serve veramente a pochi.. ha il touch screen... proprio accessorio da fotografi.
