Dental photos, huh?

Well, that implies a macro-ish range (although maybe not true 1:1), while taking photos of people. Since we're talking macro here, I'd suggest a crop camera, which will get you better reproduction ratios or deeper DOF given the same framing.

I'd also suggest getting something like a ring flash.

I'd go with this setup:

Nikon D7100. $1200.
Nikon 105mm f/2.8 VR micro - a great macro lens with good working distances. $880.
Closeup lighting, like this or this. $350-720.

You're well under $3k there. Might even want to get the D7100 with the kit lens (18-105), so you can do more general photography while you're not working.

Remember: lighting is very, very important. You'll get shit photos if you just blow the full $3k on a D800 and bottom-end macro lens with no lights. Mouths tend to be dark. Indoor areas are dark. Buy a good ring flash, and don't skimp out on a terrible macro lens. You need something at least 90mm or longer so you're not hitting people's teeth.

> The D400 will be priced around $1000

Nobody can agree on much about what the D400 should or will or if be, but you will not get a new D400 at $1000 before the end of inventory clearance sales. I never saw the D200 for less than $600 - and that was inventory clearance at the dawn of the 300s announcement (five years into the D200)

u/genuinearticle · 4 points r/Cameras

The D7100 would probably be the best fit. The D90 was replaced with the D7000. You could also look at the D7200 if you wanted to go another step up, although it costs a little more.

u/unrealkoala · 3 points r/photography

You might be able to nab a Nikon D7100 and a Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 II for about that price.

You're basically looking for a fast wide angle which would cover architecture, astrophotography, and landscapes. You're going to be lacking a medium zoom, but perhaps you can save up for that later. Don't forget a tripod at some point!

u/raykoutj · 2 points r/Cameras

Refurbished D7100 costs around 600$ with taxes. Good camera all around.

u/insomniac_koala · 2 points r/iWallpaper

Let me know if you like any of the images from my instagram. I'd be happy to provide full-res wallpapers from it. 🤙

*Edit: For those interested in my setup:
·Nikon D7100
·35mm f/1.8

I'd like to reiterate the fact that you definitely don't need the camera I used to take this. You can get a cheaper camera with similar result. It's all about what glass (lenses) you have.

u/EngineeringIsHard · 1 point r/photography

I was trying to keep the whole setup to $1000. I was looking at a refurb d7100 from Adorama.

The other route was the kit from Amazon.

u/AlternateContent · 1 point r/photography

This D7100?, no problem with refurbished, but if it is worth it, like 300$ worth it, to go with a new 7200, would you recommend it? I could swing the 1200

u/HybridCamRev · 1 point r/Filmmakers

/u/s4gn - these are great still cameras, but I would avoid them for video.

In this price class Nikon DSLRs lack:

video resolution higher than 1920 x 1080p
the ability to change aperture in Live View (video) mode
a usable viewfinder when you switch to "Live View" (video) mode (the optical viewfinder is blocked by the reflex mirror)
compatibility with affordable power zoom lenses
compatibility with silent, video optimized lenses ([here] (https://youtu.be/DuX8CDaDUaw) is the problem with noisy Nikon autofocus motors)
an intervalometer for timelapse

And here's why I recommend new shooters avoid Canon DSLRs:
resolution limited to 1920 x 1080p
frame rates limited to 30 frames per second at 1080p (modern cameras record at 60 fps in full HD [at least])
no built-in intervalometer for timelapse (yes, you can fix this with Magic Lantern, but you shouldn't have to)
lenses with noisy autofocus motors
Canon DSLR viewfinders are also blocked by the mirror in video mode (mirrorless cameras use electronic viewfinders that are usable in all modes - EVFs also display important audio information and histograms that you don't get from an optical viewfinder)
Canon DSLRs in this price class lack are not compatible with affordable power zoom lenses
Canon DSLRs in this price class suffer from a phenomenon known as "moire" as the result of poor downscaling. Panasonic G and GH cameras, on the other hand, have a better downscaling algorithm. Here are a couple of side-by-sides between the Canon 60D and a moire-resistant Panasonic GH camera:

[Canon 60D vs Panasonic GH2 evil moiré test] (http://vimeo.com/21962491)

Newer Canon cameras are not much better. Here is a side-by-side between the Canon 60D and 70D:

If your emphasis is on video, instead of paying [$796.95 for a body only D7100] (https://www.amazon.com/Nikon-D7100-24-1-DX-Format-Digital/dp/B00BI9X7UC/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=battleforthew-20) or [$999 for a body only 70D] (https://www.amazon.com/Canon-Digital-Camera-Body-Only/dp/B00DMS0GTC/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=battleforthew-20), I recommend you save yourself some money and get a Panasonic G7 ([$697.99 brand new with warranty, the 14-42mm kit lens, an SD card and free Prime shipping] (https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-DMC-G7KS-Mirrorless-Camera-Transcend/dp/B0106CF62I/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=photo&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1467976699&amp;sr=1-5&amp;keywords=Panasonic+DMC-G7&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=battleforthew-20), or [$639.95 open box with a manufacturer's warranty and the 14-42mm kit lens from Best Buy] (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&amp;pub=5575034783&amp;toolid=10001&amp;campid=5337235943&amp;customid=&amp;icep_item=322099679234&amp;ipn=psmain&amp;icep_vectorid=229466&amp;kwid=902099&amp;mtid=824&amp;kw=lg)) [Referral Links].

This camera has 3840x2160p Ultra High Definition "4K" resolution (4 times the resolution of the D7100 or the 70D), a built-in intervalometer for timelapse and a maximum frame rate of 60 fps at 1080p for smooth slow motion.

It is also resistant to moire (especially at 4K).

Uniquely in this category, it can also record for hours continuously at 1080p (Nikon and Canon DSLRs in this price class shut down after 30 minutes of continuous recording and have to be restarted).

Here is the video image quality the G7 can produce:

It's a pretty good still camera too: https://www.flickr.com/groups/panasonic-lumix-g7/pool/

In my view, this is the best still/video starter camera below $1000.

Hope this is helpful and best of luck choosing the camera that best meets your needs.
