The D7100 brings a variety of serious advancements in image quality to high-resolution DX-format cameras from Nikon, including improved image quality, speed, connectivity and creative capabilities all in a lightweight package.

Its specially designed 24.1-megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor, without using an optical low-pass filter (OLPF), produces incredibly sharp images. Its impressive ISO range, from 100 to 6400, opens up more low-light possibilities. Its fast 6 fps continuous shooting for up to 100 shots makes it easy to capture great action shots. The D7100 uses 51 focus points, including 15 cross-type sensors for detecting both vertical and horizontal contrast variations, achieves fast and precise focus. At the same time, its 2016-pixel RGB sensor evaluates every scene, taking into account brightness, contrast, subject distance and color, for accurate auto operations like Face-Priority and full-time autofocus during video capture.

When it comes to creating amazing movies, the D7100 offers manual exposure control during video recording, a built-in stereo mic and an external mic jack, headphone and HDMI jacks and full-time autofocus. It also allows you to record in several high-definition formats, including 1080p at 60i/50i/30/25/24 fps or 720p at up to 60p for ultra-smooth slow-motion sequences. Dual SD card slots provide additional recording time and an all-new 60i function enables smooth playback on HDTVs or external monitors.

For those seeking to take their creativity to new levels, the D7100s built-in High Dynamic Range (HDR) combines shots taken simultaneously at different exposures into one rich, high-contrast image. Its Picture Control gives you instant access to the color characteristics of your images and its spot White Balance control for live shooting makes setting the white balance as easy as pointing to the area in the frame that should be white.

The D7100s compatibility with the optional WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter makes it easy to share your photos immediately by transferring them to a compatible smartphone or tablet, then upload them to the web or send by email. With Nikons free Wireless Mobile Utility installed on your smartphone or tablet, you can also remotely control the D7100.

The D7100 also features a 3.2" ultra-high-resolution LCD, a new 100%-coverage viewfinder with a low-power consumption OLED display and can be paired with any of Nikons DX- and FX-format lenses, Speedlights and accessories.

Features:

• Pure, sharp images: The D7100 marks an exciting advancement in image quality for high-resolution DX-format cameras. Nikon specially designed its 24.1-megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor without using an optical low pass filter (OLPF), resulting in the purest, sharpest images using D7100's DX-format CMOS sensor. Combine that with fantastic ISO performance at both ends of the spectrum—down to ISO 100 and up to ISO 6400—the processing speed and intelligence of EXPEED 3 and the extra lens reach of a 1.5x crop factor, and the D7100 is the ultimate tool for those seeking a lightweight DX-format HD-SLR.
• High-speed shooting with flawless metering and autofocus: When the action speeds up, fire a blazing fast 6 frames per second continuously for up to 100 shots. Building on the acclaimed autofocus system from the D300s, the D7100 uses 51 focus points, including 15 cross-type sensors for detecting both vertical and horizontal contrast variations, to achieve fast, precise focus. The central cross-type sensor works all the way down to f/8, a huge advantage when using compatible teleconverters. At the same time, a highly accurate 2016-pixel RGB sensor evaluates every scene, taking into account brightness, contrast, subject distance and color, for spot-on auto operations like Face-Priority and full-time autofocus during video capture.
• Compatible with the WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter: The D7100 makes it easy to share your great photos immediately, wherever you are. Connect the optional WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter and instantly transfer shots to a compatible smartphone or tablet, then upload them to the web, send by email or text—share them however you like. With Nikon's free Wireless Mobile Utility installed on your smartphone or tablet (available for both Android and iOS), you can also remotely control the D7100. Use your phone or tablet as a Live View monitor to take shots without having the camera in your hands, a huge advantage for everything from self portraits to digiscoping with a Nikon fieldscope.
• Dazzling 1080p videos, slow-motion and time-lapse sequences: With full-time autofocus and manual exposure control during video recording, a built-in stereo mic and an external stereo mic jack, headphone and HDMI jacks, the D7100 achieves exceptional cinematic reproduction and quality. Record in several high-definition formats: 1080p at 60i/50i/30/25/24 fps or 720p at up to 60p for ultra-smooth slow-motion sequences. Dual SD card slots give you additional recording time, and an all new 60i function enables smooth playback on HDTVs or external monitors. And, of course, every shot looks great through a NIKKOR lens. Create beautiful background blur with the AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G, or use the AF-S DX NIKKOR 10-24mm for an ultra-wide-angle view that's perfect for establishing shots and working in tight interiors.
• Creativity on demand: The D7100 will inspire your creativity to new heights. Built-in HDR (High Dynamic Range) combines shots taken simultaneously at different exposures into one beautifully rich, high-contrast image. A dedicated Picture Control gives you instant access to the color characteristics of your images, and spot White Balance control for Live View shooting makes setting the white balance as easy as pointing to the area in the frame that should be white. You can even apply artistic Image Effects to both stills and videos in real-time.
• High-end design: The D7100 has the comfortable handling and durability of a high-end Nikon camera. A durable magnesium alloy body with moisture and dust resistance protects the camera's internal parts from the elements. A new 3.2-inch ultra-high-resolution 1,229K-dot LCD monitor provides crisp image playback, menu adjustments and Live View shooting, and a new viewfinder with a low-power consumption electro-luminescent (EL) data display provides approx. 100% frame coverage.
