Cruel halos and double vision in direct light sources. Good soup with lots of hair!

The folding up display allows stable and unobtrusive photography from abdominal or chest level.
The operation via discrete buttons and knobs is the crowning
if you have to be very skilled to take on connected camera from the table
without pressing any button, or specifically to adjust the front control dial accidentally.

The noise at high and very high ISOs is present but the pleasant variety.
No frayed edges or only extremely rarely Farbpflecken.
In night mode, where the camera to 3 megapixels is going down, the camera automatically selects higher ISO's up to 12800!
The recordings are then although increasingly less detailed, up to ISO 7200 but surprisingly free of noise.
Even in the other modes is ISO 3200 beautiful to look at.
The noise is more integrated into's image and does not look so aufgepappt, but more like analog film very pleasant.

The knobs.
-The Front control dial can be nice but rasterized but easy enough to operate.
-Ebenso The small thumbwheel on the back of the upper right corner
-The Exposure wheel at the far right is already much tighter
but what good is because by its exposed position so accidental changes is prevented.
-The Dial left with center button for the quick mode is also relatively tight but that's acceptable.

Here's what I pers ö Accessories Sounds on the P7100 does not like, and why I give back because of the sum of the scores:

-The Mode selection wheel right next to the hot shoe is a finger only disturbing extreme pressure operated
You have to use a lot of power with generally two fingers.
In addition, the displayed on the display screen of the mode-wheel reacts very slowly with up to half a second delay.
If one has to rely on in the dim light, the display and continue on several modes with the mode dial, which annoys a lot.

- Outrageously high, as always, the battery prices. About 51 euros and the only third-party manufacturer for the P7000 funzt not with the P7100.
Mir is the battery life in general matter because I at least had a 2nd battery case mandatory for all cameras and have.
The conveniently have ordered power supply that you have to buy two products together, comes to about 100 euros.
Weitwinkelkonverter incl. Adapter to the fall below the boring 28mm focal length, beat more than 200 euros.
Brazenly donated the Nikon Weitwinkelkonverter incl. A tube 51,4er thread. What's all this?
So you can not use the wide angle converter for any other purpose nor can screw any filters on the tube.
So if you want really do with the camera what the actual camera price is very high.
And it should already be something going on.
I knew everything in advance, but will it have said.

- The quality of the lens is an impertinence and is enough for me already as the only reason for returning.
Absolutely annoying halos and reflections of details as soon as any light sources in the image are.
I've tried all settings, low and high ISO's, neutral setting, sharpening plus and minus, noise suppression up and down.
Nothing has changed since the lens in these matters simply provides manure.
By contrast, my TZ10 and G7 deliver results make the watching fun.
The lens distortion at wide angle is very pronounced.
The automatic equalization can only be switched on at JPG, RAW does not get anyway, is clear because almost only raw data
but one takes JPG + RAW simultaneously one can unfortunately not use automatic equalization for JPG's.

The lens quality is a mockery of the whole concept - the remaining 'quirks' also.
Unfortunately, these take the overall approach to value.

- The manual focus is a "trial and horror" game.
Both on the screened rotating wheel and via typing the Nikon responds times with one, two or three jumps at a time.
In addition, at infinity does not match the reality. Annoying useless.

- If one, like me, value to a Bestätigunston for known Autokusscharfstellung, you have to accept it,
that in almost every operating step, whether key or one of the top three dials, a confirmation beep sounds.
This can not be set and guaranteed not to be missed in the volume.
Twice a dial operated and a look in's menu and you have pleased the environment approximately ten beepers.
Sounds like the supermarket at the checkout and spread a similar rush.
A bad habit.

- The video quality is extremely modest. Hakelige 24 B / S, streaky and dull - just bad.
For this purpose any settings somehow affecting the exposure.
Make no joy watching, not even in good light.

- Here are the hours for saving captured images after tripping (yes with faster card):

A JPG: 5 Seconds, keep shooting a limited extent because during which no mode change is possible.
Five JPGs: 15 seconds, keep shooting a limited extent because during which no mode change is possible.
A JPG with simultaneous RAW 11 seconds during which the camera is blocked.
Series with five JPG's in gleichzeiteigem RAW 61 seconds during which the camera is blocked.

I give them back a heavy heart because she's otherwise a fantastic piece.

On all self-appointed lawyers, standard bearer and prospectus admirer any brand ;-)
I take the liberty to award only two stars because it is a subjective assessment
and I can not rate as a neuter a product, since it is I want to use it.
So it is up to each themselves to what is written in the various reviews of positive and negative,
their own picture or own experiences.

I would like to write more about the soup than the hair.
I hope, however, that the description of the negative points for me,
helping to advance to deal with it and see for yourself whether it bothers you or not.

I will also set even sample images regarding the lights.
