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
The Nikon D7100 is compact and lightweight enough to appeal to enthusiast photographers who want advanced DSLR options, but who don't want the bulk of larger models. We think buying it with the versatile 18-105mm VR kit lens will get you well on the way ...

Abstract: But regular cameras are now catching up in the convenience stakes. Some have WiFi built in so you can send images to social networking sites, while compact system cameras offer the high-quality image capabilities of DSLRs but in a smaller and more mana...
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....
Weather resistant body, high resolution backplate LCD, bright viewfinder with 100% filed of view, high resolution sensor, top plate LCD window as short cut to key settings, compatible with 60+ Nikon lenses, 51 selectable AF points
Basic image quality no better than most DSLRs costing £500+, non angle adjustable LCD, common image artefacts like pixel fringing still present
A respectable showing though if extras like weatherproofing aren't required there are cheaper alternatives delivering a very similar still image quality
Excellent LCD screen, Reliable and accurate auto white balance, Handles well
Locking buttons are fiddly, Slow processing times, Burst mode only so-so
There's no denying that the D7100 is an incredibly well-rounded DSLR with one of the most complete enthusiast DSLR feature-sets we've seen to date. The lack of an anti-aliasing filter gives images a pleasing crispness, while metering and White Balance sys...
Given the build quality and feature set of the Nikon D7100, I would be surprised if the much-rumoured D400 will ever materialise to replace the D300S. Instead, it looks as though the D7100 may do the job of fully replacing both the D7000 and D300S. The D7...

As the most expensive current Nikon camera that doesn't have a full-frame sensor (discounting the old D300s), professionals might be tempted to write off the D7100 as "the best of the rest." Bad idea. This camera is just as professionally-oriented as the ...
Flawless build quality, Very responsive, Picture quality up to 3200 ISO, Prostyle design and handling
Some restricted settings in video mode, Picture quality is too similar to the more basic D5200, No swivel screen, No builtin WiFi or GPS
The Nikon D7100 raises the bar on both style and performance, and will no doubt satisfy demanding enthusiasts and pro photographers. This new SLR is a success but Nikon shouldn't rest on its laurels, as there's still room for improvement in connectivity a...
