Average lowlight performance
Average continuous shooting speed
No aperture adjustment in Live Mode
No zebra patterns
Slight tendency to overexpose photos

Which limits high speed shooting
Almost flush OVF eyepiece and awkward placement of AE-L/AF-L button can result in photographers hitting their thumb again...
Frequent and severe overexposure

Bizarre Auto ISO
Indistinct ISO button
Very poor liveview
Aperture locked in video mode
NoiseReduction forced at ISO 800
Lens correction slow down camera
Level difficult to se
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
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

Noise at high ISOs

Slower focusing performance when all of the points are selected (auto)
No aperture control in video mode
Focusing points don't go to edges
Poor placement of video button
Movie capture still cumbersome
Beware of noise in 1.3x mode
Lack of OLPF makes little difference to image quality
Poor continuous RAW shooting
Poor Full-time-servo AF in Live view
Need accessories for Wi-Fi and GPS.
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

Abstract: I love my previous-model Nikon from 2010. This new Nikon D7100 is the same thing, and even better, making the D7100 the world's best ever. The D7100 is new in that it has an ordinary 24 MP sensor, but without an anti-alias fil...

Great low-ISO images, Improved video mode, Near-perfect control scheme
Mediocre kit lenses, Small image buffer, Poor 50i video mode
