The compact and lightweight system of the D7100 is loaded with superior performance and a variety of innovative features. Enjoy the kind of breathtaking detail reproduction realized by the combination of NIKKOR lenses, a powerful CMOS sensor unit thats designed without an optical low-pass filter, and the EXPEED 3 image-processing engine. Now you can have all the agility thanks to the Nikon DX format, the power you need to close in on your target and capture it exquisitely, as well as the capability to reproduce fine details. The D7100 is ready to go wherever inspiration calls you, beyond frontiers. Your hunt for spectacular images starts here. AF-S DX NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED Image quality: 12-bit NEF (RAW) Exposure: S mode, 1/2000 second, f/5.6 White balance: Auto 1 Sensitivity: ISO 200 Picture Control: Standard Robert BschAF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/4G ED VR Image quality: 12-bit NEF (RAW) Exposure: M mode, 1/500 second, f/11 White balance: Direct sunlight Sensitivity: ISO 100 Picture Control: Standard Koji Nakanoemploying relatively compact, lightweight telephoto zoom lenses. Furthermore, the 51 focus points cover nearly the entire frame of 1.3 crop of DX, demonstrating excellent capturing power, which allows you to effectively focus on moving subjects whose position in the frame randomly changes. The 1.3 crop of DX gives you an image size of approx. 15.4 megapixels, securing a sufficiently high pixel count for general use, and providing high-resolution images. The D7100 employs a high-speed, highly precise sequential mechanism that drives mirror and aperture independently. Combining it with the CMOS sensor compatible with high-speed readout and the fast image processing of EXPEED 3, the camera is capable of high-speed continuous shooting of up to approx. 7 fps*1, 2for a maximum of 100 frames*3. The release time lag is approx. 0.052 s*2. The cameras superb high-speed performance supports comfortable shooting of moving subjects. 51AFPOINTSCAPTURING POWER TO LOCK ON TO YOUR SUBJECTHigh-speed continuous shooting at approx. 7 fps (image area: 1.3 crop of DX)Shot in 1.3 crop of DX mode, using a 500mm lens (angle of view: equivalent to 1000mm focal length*)* When converted to 35mm format.

Fifteen cross-type sensors cover the most frequently used center area. AF detection is available down to -2 EV (ISO 100, 20C/68F), brightness equivalent to a subject illuminated by moonlight. Adopting an algorithm equivalent to that of the D4, the camera obtains faster initial AF detection. The speed you need to effectively capture decisive moments has been radically boosted. The center focus point is compatible with f/8 or faster. This assures dependable AF shooting with an effective aperture value of f/8, when a 2.0x teleconverter is attached to a telephoto NIKKOR lens with a maximum aperture of f/4. Super telephoto AF shooting is yours without bulky equipment.The D7100 comes equipped with a 1.3 crop of DX option, which enables you to accurately focus on distant subjects with the high-performance AF system while allowing you to capture decisive moments with high-speed continuous shooting of up to approx.
