Honey, I shrunk the D600 sensor!

Looks just like the D600

I see (possibly stereo) microphones in front of the hot shoe
- Paul
  
  good catch
- IMeasure
  
  There is a left and right microphone right under the shoe mount

  Buy an F2 if you want a pro body…

  So for you, big means “pro”? Are you serious?

    Yes. So????
    - Fly Moon
      
      I doubt you know what pro means?

        whatever

  100% viewfinder / 51 points AF / all controls more or less as accessible as on pro camera.. what’s missing for you apart a fake feeling of sturdiness due to some weight?
  I do have a D800 / D700 / D7000 and i might have some complain concerning the IQ of the D7000 but i really don’t understand people “needing” a camera “built like a tank”. Personally i prefer something built like a camera.
  - Fly Moon
    
    But you can’t make money if the camera is not heavy and big!!
    - Nico in China
      
      Well there is some truth in that actually, depending on your work.
      
      But as far as it’s only about shooting, I think it made a difference in the previous generations of Nikons, because you didn’t have easy access to the ISO (as far as i know), but with the new AF controls and the access to ISO via the rear wheel, I really don’t see the need for these semi-pro things (and i would be super happy with a D600 with 51AF points, 1/8000sec shutter and all and/or a D4 in normal body).
  - js200022
    
    Since you have both the D800 and the D700 I am sure you can tell the difference between a prosumer camera and a plasticky consumer camera like the D7000. If you use a camera to work every day you will need one that is built solid.
- bschk
  
  just checked some of your photos. i don’t think a “pro” body will change how good your photos look.
  blajar pake kamera dulu pls

At first I thought this was a fake based on the D600, but looking at it more closely that ISO button change combined with that frigging ‘I’ button makes it seem more legit to me now Slightly tougher looking than the D7000 but leaning far more in that direction than the D300. …….
erik

It’s a D600
nd7

Look at the back it has two info buttons?
- enesunkie
  
  I was wondering abot the “i” button too. Maybe “I” can program it?
Paul

So it’s keeping the smaller D7000 body. Ok… so where’s the D400 Nikon?
- Gabriel
  
  Thom Hogan thinks D400 will come and Nikon has left enough space for one.

  - Fry
    
    you mean 2 extra fps, AF-ON and a magnesium frame ?
    
    Other than that, the D7100 is basically a D300s successor.
    - Cuculain
      
      Should be more like 4 extra frames. 1.st to be a real improvement on the D300s, secondly to be competible with the Canon D7 Mark II. (In case the predicted 10.2 frames are correct). And I like the dream of higher ISO-Perfomance and less Megapixel in the D300s successor, too. Would be perfect to do sports, wildlife and wild children photography . And in that case it also would have a significantly different profile, as the D7100.
      
      Anyhow, since I will have an appropriate alternative by Canon soon (7D Mark II) I stopped worrying.
      
      Still it would be nice to get the D400, since I really enjoy the D700 and D300S Body and am rather a Nikon fan boy.
AB

The “D7100″ is a fake label. Look closely.
- nd7
  
  yeah agree. Also one button left side marked ‘i’ and on right side marked ‘info’ why would you need two info buttons? Also look at left side button marked ‘i’ it is a different font from rest This looks like a mock up

    I agree this looks like a mock up. On the D7100 emblem The D7 is in the corner unlike the 7000 which is more on the body.

    its the “i” in i am coming… maybe some new feature coupled with the wireless connector?

      “i” is for instagram. that would tell dem HTC One guys to back off!

Almost want to sell my D800 for this. Nice light powerhouse. Great for macro and birding…

  Just buy it and have both.

Updated post with more leaked images from Japan. Those are real.

  DPReview has a hands-on preview posted.

  Any thoughts on why an AF-ON button is being denied by Nikon these days??
  - Renard Richie
    
    not denied but reserved for pro bodies (in this case they are forcing people to fork to d800)
MaGoO

Seems the same image with different perspectives, and number changed.
Captain Megaton

Improved styling and ergonomics, a rougher, tighter look overall, cleaned up some button clutter around back. Looks good, but very much a D7100. i.e. its the same size and control set. No D400. I told you so.
- KnightPhoto
  
  6fps leaves a door open for a D400.
prete

It looks to have smaller rear thumbwheel which looks a bit too small. Cant understand why it needs two info buttons. To be honest i prefer the button layout/look of the d7000. The new rear styling looks cheap
matprat

Looks like your average NIkon Camera to me.
Zelf

Oh c’mon why the hell do you keep the preset modes on a high end body -_-
Carl

Looks like cheap plastic build. Disappointing Nikon :-/
neuron_engine

Maybe I can’t make it out, but does it also look like they’ve removed support for AI lens metering?
- prete
  
  would not surprise me. Like all industries they are trying to kill off used sales of items forcing people to buy new, i.e video games, computers, macs etc. There will probably come a point where lenses get locked to users or something to stop you buying used. Hell even the new nikon batteries have built in life cycle timers like ink cartridges to stop you using them after they are ‘done’
  - neuron_engine
    
    A valid observation. I was hopeful because at the end of F-era, they had eliminated AI metering from pretty much every camera body, and then it got re-introduced with the D200 and others, including the D7000. A really pity if they’ve finally decided to kill it just to save some money. This just puts further pressure on DX users to keep DX alive only by following Nikon’s idea of what a DX user is ‘supposed’ to be.
    - neuron_engine
      
      Looking at the official release, I guess I’m wrong; it’d make little sense to offer memory for 9 different MF lenses if you didn’t also have the metering tab!
RamesesThe2nd

If you buy D7100, you will regret not getting D600 for a little bit more. when I got my first DX camera (D90), the cheapest FX camera (D700) was twice the price and didn’t even make video. Get D600. FX is the new DX.
phototime

Plus there’s no tiny holes for the internal mic by the D7100. Unless they took the video feature out this must be a fake. looks too much like an editted d600 to me.
- jdjdj
  
  umm look near hot shoe… i guess thats what u meant
martin9982

nice i guess its time to buy d7000

Plus there’s no tiny holes for the internal mic under/above where it says D7100. Unless
they took the video feature out this must be a fake. looks too much like

- prete
  
  Look closly at top of flash. Mic holes are on top of flash, has left mic and right mic
  - phototime
    
    …..well that’s different
Poony

hmmm… with these images I wonder if the ergonomic will match the title of ‘flagship of DX’.
Kind of wish for a chinkier body, AF-ON button and full magnesium body… Anyone?
BRNSMRF

Other than a fresh paint job and 51 AF points, I don’t see any reason to upgrade
Jon McGuffin

So one of the big questions here is… Looks like a very similar build to the D7000 and that shouldn’t surprise anybody with a D7100 model number but what about the sensor/guts and mechanics?

- I see it has Expeed 3, but still only shooting 6fps. I realize it’s 24Mp now, but do you suppose that we’ll have a buffer that will at least allow us to shoot for 3-4 seconds before filling up? That’s a real limitation on my D7000.
- Also, will the autofocus system be the unit brought down from the D700? That would be a step in the right direction as well.

- I see better video quality specs, so this may very well be a legit “low cost” videocam.

If it’s truly priced at $1299/$1399, I consider it a very fair deal. Much more than that and I think Nikon is out of bounds here.

No AF-ON button. Pass. It would have been such a simple thing to include, but it costs around $2500 to get one on a Nikon.

One of the big selling points of the D200/300 series was the solid body with all the bells and whistles, it felt good in your hand, well built. The D600 feels cheap. I cant understand having such great image quality in these cheap bodies.
grant torres

What is that portruding button on top of the mode dial for?
- sam LeDogge
  
  it’s called a “camera nipple”
  - grant torres
    
    you press that thing and a jet of air swooshes down on the sensor expelling the dust! great!
WDSCRN

anyone wondering about the RAW recording?? We’ll really know if it’s the D400 if its full uncompressed 14-bit RAW, if it is lossless then it truly is the D7000 replacement

1.3 crop?? this is really gonna be hard math
- KnightPhoto
  
  1.3 crop of 1.5 crop movie = 2.0 crop movie. So 50mm in this movie mode becomes = FX 100mm FOV.

  at 1200$ it seems to be a nice deal. Still I’d prefer to see a D400 with similar dials as the D800 …

This AF system and magnesium alloy body for just US 1,199? I’m in…

GlobalGuy

No AF-ON button???
Yannick

I’ll go with the others and say: WHERE IS THE D400??!! I don’t care about this thing!! If they release a D400 with 16mp, incredible ISO on a DX sensor, same AF as the D4/D800, 8 fps. Sports shooters would buy it instantly! The D7*00 and D600 body is just too small for pro photographers …
- PeterO
  
  It’s over for the D400 Yannick. Nikon Europe is calling this the flagship DX model.
  - BluBlue
    
    Seriously? Ugh…
    
    I really don’t understand why. So many people would love to buy a top end tank-build dx camera.
  - Yannick
    
    Let’s hope they are wrong. They need a competitor for the 7D and I need a backup for my D800 …
Ryan

The Japan website already has this listed

PeterO

Direct quote from the Nikon website describing the D7100: “As a middle-class DX-format D-SLR”. One could say that this leaves room for a “high class DX-format” camera.
- PeterO
  
  Nikon’s marketing department and copy writing department should get their stories straight because Nikon Europe is calling this the flagship Dx
gabriel

the LCD doesn’t have the attachment for the LCD protector. maybe they’ve given it up. Camera describes as for “ADVANCED ENTHUSIAST” so maybe it doesn’t replace D300s afterall. I was expecting improved one hand functionality like that of the Canon 6D. But Nikon still seems to prefer two hand use. One handed use is good when you have a long lens attached.
- Gabriel
  
  I quote from DPReview hands-on preview first impressions section
  
  “In fact in Europe at least, the D7100 is officially being billed by Nikon as its new ‘flagship DX’ camera”
  ????
- Gabriel
  
  Thom Hogan believes D300s replacement possible
John Hobbs

D400 still on the way?

“As a middle-class DX-format D-SLR, it features a highly sophisticated design, which satisfies pride of ownership.”
Scott M

OK, so it will do 7fps in “crop mode” of 1.3X. I still wonder if they will sell a grip that allows even faster. Seems like a posibility. I bet the image quality will be very good.
