Nikon D7100 Field Review: Breaking The Mold, Again
Nikon seems to be the champion of “trickle-down features”. What does that mean? Over the ~4 generations of Nikon DSLRs that have come out in the past decade or so, Nikon has had the habit of taking flagship features from their high-end pro cameras, and putting those features in the more affordable model cameras.

Is The Nikon D7100 Going To Replace The D300s and The Pro DX Series? Maybe Not!

Nikon 28mm f/1.8 AFS-G N Lens Review
Nikon’s 28m f/1.8 is the third and most recent of the new f/1.8 AFS-G primes, the first two being the 50mm f/1.8 AFS-G and 85mm f/1.8 AFS-G. Both of those lenses delivered great overall build quality and fantastic images, so my standards were set very high for this 28mm.
