Nikon D7100 vs Nikon D90: What is the difference?

Are you an owner of a Nikon D90 and are looking for an upgrade? Then the Nikon D7100 might just be the camera that you are looking for. Lets take a look at what the difference is between the two cameras.

The Nikon D7100 is in the same product line, where the Nikon D7000 was an upgrade to the Nikon D90 and the Nikon D7100 is an upgrade to the Nikon D90. So if you like most people don't upgrade each time then there is a great chance you are looking at the Nikon D7100 as your next camera.

Here is what is better in the Nikon D7100:

• The sensor is a lot better in the Nikon D7100, so it just should be able to noticeable difference in the pictures you take with the Nikon D7100. You get bigger image files with the Nikon D7100, which puts a greater demand on your storage options.
• The ISO can be pushed a lot higher with the Nikon D7100. So this is one of the areas where you will see the biggest improvement, which is great when you take pictures at night without a flash.
• The sensor has a 1.3x crop factor mode, which lets you crop the pictures at the time you take the pictures, which is a nice option, but you can do the same with the Nikon D90 on you computer when you are editing the pictures
• The Nikon D7100 has a second card slot that can be used for extra storage or it can be used to make a backup of you images at the time you take the pictures, so you have the same image on two different memory cards.
• The frame per second is a couple of shoots higher with the Nikon D7100, so if you shoot action or wildlife pictures you really should get the Nikon D7100.
• The metering module in the Nikon D7100 uses more information to get the right exposure , so in hard light situations there is a greater chance of getting a picture with the right exposure
• There is a big difference in the auto focus module. The one in the Nikon D5100 is an entry module, where the Nikon D7100 is the top module auto focus system you can get from a Nikon DX format camera.
• The video options were first introduced in the Nikon D90 and a lot has happened since that introduction, so you will get a camera that is a lot better in this department both in term of control options and movie quality.
• Besides the above mentioned differences there are a lot of minor differences that might make a difference for some photographers, but most it is the above difference that is going to decide between one of these cameras.

If you are a Nikon D90 user this camera is a great upgrade. You will be happy with the many improvements that Nikon has made with there cameras and you will get a camera that is better in almost parts.

Nikon D7000 vs D90: An upgrade option?

Do you have a Nikon D90 or something similar and are looking at an upgrade? Well you could wait for the Nikon D7100, but you could also get a good deal on a Nikon D7000. So what kind of benefits do you get by choosing the Nikon D7000?

Here is what is better in the Nikon D7000:

• The sensor in the Nikon D7000 is 16 megapixel, where it is only 12 megapixel in the Nikon D90. You also get a nice increase in image performance by getting the newer Nikon D7000, where it is better in every area
• The Nikon D90 has a second card slot, so you will either be able to record more images/movies or you can use the second card slot to backup the images/movies just when you shoot them
• You get a professional viewfinder in the Nikon D7000 that shows you the complete frame and doesn't  hide a bit of the border as it does in the Nikon D90
• The Nikon D7000 can shoot at the speed of a professional camera with the 1/8000, but not many people need this speed
• The Nikon D7000 can shoot a bit faster with 6 frames per second, where the Nikon D90 only can manage 4.5 frames per second. This could be a great upgrade if you are a wildlife/action photographer or shoot these subjects a lot
• The metering system in the Nikon D7000 is an upgrade from the Nikon D90, so there is a better chance of getting a correctly exposed picture in hard light situations
• The ISO can be pushed to ISO 25600 which is two steps higher than the Nikon D90, which gives you the option to shoot more pictures in the dark without have a flash
• The autofocus system is an upgrade too compared to the Nikon D90. It has more options and a faster autofocus, which should benefit you when you shoot action filled pictures
• The video options in the D7000 has greatly improved since they were introduced in the Nikon D90 for Nikon SLR cameras

If you choose to take one of the great deals that are bound to come along as we are getting closer to a Nikon D7100 (which are expected to be introduced in the market this year) then you will get a great number of features that will make it more fun to be a photographer. You could wait for the Nikon D7100, but all bets are on it being more expensive and not be as huge upgrade from the Nikon D7100 as the Nikon D7000 is for the Nikon D90.

The Nikon D5200, should I upgrade from Nikon D90?

If you have a Nikon D90 you might like to know if the Nikon D5200 is a good upgrade for you. Or if you just want to buy a new camera and you choice comes down to the Nikon D90 or the Nikon D5200.

Here is what you get if you buy/upgrade to the Nikon D5200:

• You get a 24 MP sensor, where it is only is 12 MP in the Nikon D90. The new sensor has been measured yet at Dxomark, but expect the performance to be a little bit better than the Nikon D3200, so you will get a nice performance upgrade with better high ISO, more dynamic range. This means that you get better image quality
• You get a better metering engine in the Nikon D5200. This means that there is a better chance of you getting a picture with right exposure (not to light or not to dark) as it has more information to decide the exposure
• You get better better high ISO performance where you now can push the ISO to 25600 vs 6400 in the Nikon D90. That is two stops better. So with this you can take pictures in more dark situations without using flash
• You get a better autofocus engine. The Nikon D90 uses the intro autofocus engine from Nikon, where the autofocus is a middle model in the Nikon D5200. This will mean you have a better chance of getting a sharp image.
• You get a lot more in video options. The Nikon D90 was the one that introduced the video to the DSLR market for Nikon, but a lot has happened since and with the D5200 you get possibility to use autofocus in video mode and to shoot in Full HD. If you use the DSLR camera to shoot a lot of video this alone is reason enough to upgrade
• You get a swipe LCD screen which is primary known from the point-and-shoot cameras.

Here is what you loose from the Nikon D90:

• If you have older non AF-S lenses. You might want to consider the D7000 or wait for an upgrade to this camera. The Nikon D5200 wouldn't autofocus with these lenses
• The viewfinder in the Nikon D90 is closer to real life with a magnification factor of 0.94x vs a magnification factor of 0.78x in the Nikon D5200. Not that important as you quickly will get use to the new viewfinder.

The Nikon D5200 is a great upgrade from the Nikon D90, where there are four main factors that might lead you to an upgrade. Better sensor, better metering, better autofocus and a lot more video options. The only reason not to upgrade is if you have a lot of non AF-S lenses. Then you might want to take a look at the Nikon D7000 or wait to see what gets introduced in 2013.
