Capture every detail true to life

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 1.3x 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.

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: [email protected]/60i, [email protected]/25/30p or [email protected]/60p. 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. 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.

Significantly increased visibility in bright daylight, with a newly employed RGBW alignment – wide-viewing-angle, approx. 1229k-dot, 8-cm/3.2-in. LCD monitor with reinforced glass

The D7100 incorporates a newly employed wide-viewing-angle, 8-cm/3.2-in., high-resolution LCD monitor (approx. 1229k dots). The monitor employs a newly developed RGBW alignment for increased brightness. Combined with the integrated glass-and-panel structure*, it greatly enhances visibility of the monitor under bright conditions. The color reproduction range is now equivalent to that of the D4 and D800 series. The clear, beautiful display images bring more comfort to live view, movie recording and image confirmation. The ability to magnify playback images up to approx. 38x (large-size images in DX (24 x 16) format), is a boon for quick and accurate focus confirmation. Scratch- and shock-resistant, reinforced glass is employed for the monitor surface.

Enjoy more creative expression easily with the built-in flash incorporating a commander function

The D7100 has a built-in flash with a guide number of approx. 12/39 (m/ft, ISO 100, 20°C/68°F) which covers the same angle of view as a 16mm wide-angle lens. The superior flash control accuracy only Nikon can provide is highly praised by professionals and realizes flash shooting with natural light. Featuring a commander function compatible with Advanced Wireless Lighting, it has an ability to control up to two groups of optional Speedlights wirelessly as a master flash unit. With this feature, you can illuminate your subjects from various directions and obtain a wide range of creative expression, from shooting flowers vividly, sharply rendering people's facial features and other details to effectively reproducing the subtle texture of subjects.
