The editors didn't like
Average lowlight performance
Average continuous shooting speed
No aperture adjustment in Live Mode
No zebra patterns
Slight tendency to overexpose photos
Buffer fills very quickly when shooting 14-bit RAW images
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
AWB not perfect under artificial light
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

One look through the brilliant mirror-prism viewfinder is an instant reminder of what we love about the single-lens reflex form. Nikon continues to lead the pack in camera ergonomics, with every important control accessible from the camera body.
The movie mode is still clunky and video quality is not brilliant
During the past 10 years we have owned more cameras than any sensible person needs. Picking up any Nikon is a reminder of how well the company crafts its cameras. One feature, the easily accessible bracketing button alongside the lens, is so obviously use...
Excellent resolution and high ISO performance, Great autofocus, white balance, burst mode, Excellent controls and LCD screen
Video output is still mediocre, Burst RAW slows camera down
Nikon's D7100 is a considerable upgrade to our favourite semi-pro camera of the last few years. A much more detailed and more capable image sensor is the big improvement, while the controls and body get a minor do-over. Video is still lacking, though...
Abstract: Professional photographers – in particular wedding and portrait shooters – could find the D7100 a useful second body, particularly if they want to reduce the weight they carry but still retain most aspects of professional performance and adjustability. Su...

With the D7100 now costs around £550 for the body only, it's one of the best budget SLR's around. These prices, coupled with its specifications, mean there isn't exactly a direct equivalent model in other manufacturers' SLR ranges. This can make it a litt...
Abstract: Of course, you may still have to think long and hard about if the upgrade is worthwhile, and for the most part, it may not be recommended. It isn't a big jump between the D7000 and D7100, but there are some improvements that are immediately visible that h...
