Overview

The Nikon D7100 is a professional-grade digital single-lens reflex camera released in 2013, equipped with a 24.1-megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor that omits the optical low-pass filter for sharper image quality. It features the EXPEED 3 image-processing engine enabling fast performance, including continuous shooting at 6 frames per second with full autofocus. The DSLR supports a native ISO range from 100 to 6400, expandable to 25600, suited for versatile lighting conditions. Video recording capabilities include Full HD 1080p at 30/25/24 fps with full HD video autofocus. The camera’s 51-point autofocus system with 15 cross-type sensors ensures precise focusing for stills and video. Additionally, it offers a robust magnesium alloy body, dust and moisture resistance, and a 3.2-inch LCD screen with adjustable tilt and 1,229k dots resolution.

Connectivity options include HDMI output and external microphone support but lack built-in Wi-Fi for wireless control or transfer. The D7100 uses SD/SDHC/SDXC cards and supports dual card slots for overflow or backup. Its optical viewfinder covers approximately 100% frame coverage offering bright and clear composition. The camera incorporates extensive exposure metering modes, including 3D color matrix meter, center-weighted, and spot metering for optimal exposure control. Battery life is rated for approximately 950 shots per charge under CIPA standards.

Key Advantages

The Nikon D7100 excels with its high-resolution 24.1 MP sensor that delivers superb image clarity and detail due to the lack of OLPF. Its sophisticated 51-point autofocus system provides rapid and accurate tracking, especially beneficial for action photography. The camera’s robust build quality ensures durability and weather resistance, suitable for challenging environments. Dual SD card slots offer flexible storage options, increasing reliability for professional use. The 3.2-inch vari-angle LCD screen enhances shooting flexibility from various angles. Additionally, excellent battery life supports extended shooting sessions without frequent recharging.

Limitations

Despite its many strengths, the Nikon D7100 does not include built-in Wi-Fi, limiting wireless image transfer and remote control capabilities without external accessories. The absence of in-body image stabilization requires lens-based stabilization for steady shots, adding reliance on specific lenses. Video autofocus, while fast, may exhibit occasional hunting in low light or complex scenes. The camera's menu system can be complex for beginners, requiring time to master. No touchscreen interface limits newer interaction methods. Also, the 6 fps burst rate, although good, may be lower compared to some competitors in the same class.
