The D7100 uses the Nikon Advanced Multi-CAM 3500DX autofocus sensor module, and employs the same algorithm used in the Nikon D4
For those who prefer their cameras with a vertical grip, Nikon has also introduced the MB-D15 along with the D7100
The MB-D15 adds the usual vertical shutter-release button, AE/AF lock button, multi selector, and command dials to the Nikon D7100
The MB-D15 grip for the Nikon D7100 can be powered either by six AA batteries or the standard D7100 battery
Using an EXPEED 3 image processor, the Nikon D7100 has an ISO sensitivity of 100-6400 (expandable to 25600)
Autofocus is another area where Nikon has significantly improved the D7100
The Nikon D7100 offers Full HD (1920 x 1080) recording at frame rates of up to 60i/50i and 30p/25p/24p
The 100 percent coverage optical viewfinder on the Nikon D7100 has been given an OLED display
While there's a stereo microphone, videographers will also be pleased to see an external microphone jack and headphone connector
Nikon has also introduced a new 1.3x crop function with the D7100
The Nikon D7100 will sell for US$1,200 body-only when it goes on sale in March, or $1,600 with the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR kit lens
Though there's no built-in wireless capabilities, the Nikon D7100 is compatible with the optional WU-1a Mobile Adapter
Focus points cover a wider area of the frame when shooting in 1.3x crop mode on the Nikon D7100
Article Summary
Nikon has revealed a new enthusiast-level flagship DX-format camera, the 24.1-megapixel Nikon D7100. The much-awaited update to the aging D7000 has a professional-level 51-point AF system, and continuous full resolution shooting at 6 fps. Notably, the camera also does away with the optical low pass filter – meaning it should be able to capture sharper detail than cameras with a similar resolution.
