Nikon D7100

 

If you're in the market for a serious D-SLR, but don't want to go full-frame, the Nikon D7100 is the way to go; it's our Editors' Choice camera in its category.

Fast, 51-point autofocus system. Dual SD card slots. Large pentaprism viewfinder. Excellent control layout. Preserves details at high ISO settings. Shoots at 6fps. 1.3x crop mode available. Very fast startup. Vertical grip add-on available. Sharp rear...

Limited burst shooting in Raw mode. On the heavy side. Some image noise at ISO 3200 and above. Lacks built-in GPS. No PC Sync socket.

The rear LCD is excellent, one of the best we've seen on a D-SLR. It is fixed, unlike the tilting screen on the Sony Alpha 77, but its 3.2-inch size and 1,228k-dot resolution make up for the lack of a hinge. The display is bright and sharp; I had no...

Nikon D7100

 

The enthusiast-targeted Nikon D7100 becomes the company's latest APS-C DSLR to feature a 24MP sensor, joining the D3200 and D5200 models that were announced in 2012. As the eagerly anticipated successor to the very popular two-and-a-half year old...

Outstanding low ISO performance in both JPEG and Raw files ; Very good default JPEG settings ; Excellent build quality and very good ergonomics and handling ; Effective auto white balance in a variety of lighting conditions ; Comprehensive camera...

Small image buffer severely limits burst capacity in Raw-enabled modes ; Slow AF in live view and video modes (compared to mirrorless APS-C cameras) ; No real-time aperture adjustment preview in live view ; Noticeably soft video output ; In video mode,...

The D7100 is a well-built enthusiast DSLR that offers impressive image quality and easy access to shooting parameters along with a high degree of customization options. Video output is a bit disappointing and a very small image buffer limits sports...

Nikon D7100 is fast and flexible, but still a bit frustrating

 

While it's fast and has the build quality to merit its price, the D7100 doesn't fare as well on some other fronts.

The ; is a fast-shooting, well-designed camera that's comfortable to use.

While the image quality is quite good, it's not significantly better than that of the D7100's cheaper sibling, the D5200. And the lack of aperture control in movie mode gets a facepalm.

While it's still a great prosumer dSLR, the D7100 may only be worth the extra cash if you need a faster Nikon right now.

Nikon D7100 ( Body Only)

 

Image quality Though it has the same sensor resolution as the D5200, the D7100 uses a new and different sensor that does away with the optical low-pass filter (OLPF), aka antialiasing filter, much like the Pentax K-5 IIs . Dropping the filter is...

Nikon D7100 dSLR Review

Fast and accurate AF system ; Excellent Shooting Performance ; Outstanding image quality ; Incredibly sharp images ; Optical Viewfinder with approx. 100% coverage ; Huge, 3.2-inch LCD Display ; Dual Memory Card Slots ; Full 1080p HD video capture ;...

Slow AF while shooting in Live View mode ; We were only able to reach 5fps burst shooting (6fps claimed) ; Unacceptable noise levels in the Hi settings ; No screen protector to save the 3.2-inch LCD ; Steep price for a non-full frame camera

Nikon D7100 Review

 

The Nikon D7100 is a new prosumer DSLR camera with a 24.1-megapixel DX-format image sensor and no optical low-pass filter. Key highlights of the fully weather-sealed D7100 include Full 1080p movies up to 60i/50i and 30p/25p/24p with full-time autofocus...

The new Nikon D7100 builds on the considerable success of the 2 1/2 year old D7000 camera principally by significantly increasing the image resolution whilst maintaining outstanding quality for a DX sensor, implementing the same cutting-edge 51-point...

Nikon D7100 Review

 

By supercharging the resolution with a 24.1-megapixel CMOS sensor and removing the optical low-pass filter to capture finer detail, the Nikon D7100 delivers the best image quality we've ever seen in a Nikon APS-C-type DSLR. Add in a new 51-point...

Solid, ergonomic body design; Stunning, highly detailed photos, thanks to 24.1MP sensor upgrade and removal of optical low-pass filter; Cool 1.3x crop mode extends reach to nearly 2x the full-frame equivalent; Records Full 1080p HD video at up to 30fps...

Shallow buffer that hampers continuous burst shooting; AF slightly slower than average for its class; No real-time aperture control while in Movie mode (among other quirks); More noticeable moire patterns and aliasing artifacts (but only found when...

The Nikon D7100 is the company's new flagship APS-C DSLR that occupies a sweet spot in Nikon's lineup by providing a ton of advanced photographic capabilities at a reasonably affordable price point. It's a perfect model for photographers who are...

Nikon D7100

 

The D7100 is Nikon's flagship camera in its DX-format DSLR lineup. If you're just getting into DSLRs, or you haven't upgraded your camera in more than 5 years, we highly recommend the D7100.

Image & build quality; ergonomics; dust & moisture resistant

Buffer; noise at high ISOs; Live View performance

The image quality is exceptional (especially at lower ISOs). Our test images were sharp, and the colors were spot on. On the rare occasion, very bright colors appeared with a touch too much saturation, but overall the D7100 takes great images. Noise...
