Meet the new flagship of Nikon's outstanding DX-format HD-SLR line-up: the D7100. Incorporating recent advancements in HD-SLR technology, the D7100 brings a thrilling new level of image quality, speed, connectivity and creative capabilities a specially designed 24.1-megapixel DX-format image sensor, superior low-light performance, ultra-precise autofocus and metering, advanced video recording features, built-in HDR, mobile connectivity and much, much more. Pair it with any of Nikon's superb NIKKOR DX- and FX-format lenses, versatile Speedlights and accessories, and the D7100 will be the centerpiece of your creativity for years to come.  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 DX-format CMOS sensor. Your photos and videos will come alive with brilliant detail and vibrance. 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.  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.  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.  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.  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.  Durable magnesium alloy 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 OLED display element for bright, high contrast data readout and provides approx. 100% frame coverage.

Came in perfect condition and had everything listed within its box. I can finally start my photography journey with this as my very first camera.

If I were rating the camera alone, I'd give it 4-5 stars.  Some of my best shots were taken with the D7100. I now own a D500 and the full-frame D750.  I realized that I wanted a quality camera for times when I was going to be in brutal weather conditions; where I wasn't going to shoot movies, or need other high-tech features.  The D7100 will hold its own, and although its successors have many more bells and whistles, the D7100 won't disappoint.  
My rating of 3 stars is generous - but applies to Adorama's rating of "Excellent" to this used camera.  The camera arrived with a fingernail-sized hot spot/stain/water mark in the middle of the LCD screen!  I'm returning it immediately.

D7100 a great camera; Adorama's "E" rating should have been a "V"

I like using this camera for the most part, my boss purchased it for me to take marketing photos of job sites etc. and it did the job just fine. However, I have now been tasked with taking pics for insurance purposes, and they require the photos to have a time/date stamp ON THE PHOTO itself, not just the properties of the photo's file. You can print the stamp if you use the PictBridge option with a PictBridge printer only. We don't need to print the pics, and we will not be purchasing a printer. So this camera is now useless for our current insurance needs. I talked with Nikon customer service but she explained how this level of camera does not have this functionality available and I would need to buy a different camera or the special printer. I asked to put this request in the suggestion box (if they have one) since I see I am not the only one who is missing this function by all the forums I saw during my initial Google search. I really hope Nikon will come up with a firmware update to include this functionality soon.. In the mean time I will be using my CELL PHONE which DOES have this functionality available. Not so happy of a boss either.

Missing key function

Purchased a refurbished nikon 7100 from nikon. It never powered up. I assumed like all other companies they would return it or exchange if for another but no. They make me send it out for service.

don't buy from nikon

Nice feature, Nice capturing ability, Nice user friendly feature.

Nice

This camera is a major upgrade from my Cannon Rebel T1i. I love the grip, still getting used to the weight, the menus are very easy to use. I am not a fan of Nikon lens threads being reversed from Cannon. I am still learning how to use it, so I will have to update this review when I have a beer grasp. 

Such an Upgrade!!!

I upgraded from a D7000 and am so far very pleased with this camera. Quick focus and nice hand grip is a little bigger than my other camera body. 

Great price for a great camera body

Nice camera with lot of options. It may be a steep learning curve for the beginners, but once done it will be rewarding.

Awesome camera.

Gosto da máquina , manual grande. Muita informação para quem está iniciando. Mas não é tão difícil, apesar de ainda não saber tudo, fotos muito boas.

Muito boa, fotos maravilhosas

I take a lot of wildlife photos and I am looking forward to being able to enlarge prints. I have a lot to learn about the camera but that is part of the fun, learning all the different ways to make your shots better. 

New camera

Love the camera/package.  Still have my D7000.  So wanted similar layout of camera.  This fits the bill.
Great in lowlight.  Wonderful all around.  

Great great value.

Wonderful Camera

This camera has everything.  Even better than more expensive and newer model Nikons.  Very happy with this.

Great camera

User manual could have been included with simple steps 

1. Setting aperture 
2. Focus 
3. Fitting lens 
4. Taking single person pic 
5. Taking group pic 
6. Taking landscape photos 
7. Taking photos in low light 

Settings top 3-5 for each of above scenario that would have made usage experience more enhanced 

And wifi router could have been in built and eat less battery and also allow making some settings related to focus , aperture so on 

It's good camera could have been better

I adore this camera!!! I am a relative beginner and was hesitant to buy it, but it is entirely possible to start shooting quickly if you do a bit of reading. The manual is good but I supplemented it with "Nikon 7100 for Dummies" and the two in combination are giving me a enough confidence to try a lot of things. The pictures are amazing and I am having a blast.
I have nothing but good things to say about Adorama. Camera was shipped quickly and is perfect. Great experience overall. 
I highly recommend this camera, and Adorama. 

Camera is amazing!

I am pleased with my purchase. This Camera is Splendid!.
I recommend.

Good Camera Kit

couldn't ask for more at the price point.

great camera

enjoying my new camera and after the years of using my D40 a noticeable change in speed and quality.

big step up from my D40

My D5000 continues to serve me well but it's now 7 years old and this was a great buy on the 7100 body (I have plenty of lenses). Even though the 7100 is no longer the flagship of the DX line it represented so much of an improvement over the 5000: in resolution, focus (in camera and not only in lens), better video, more features that the price was a no brainer. The learning curve is fairly steep but having learned the 5000 it is not difficult to learn the basics of the 7100 in a weekend. There's plenty more to learn, but I am enjoying learning it.

A Great Step-Up from my D5000

I am loving everything about this camera! It's easy to operate in manual mode. I love having the second card slot for overflow. I would definitely recommend this camera!!

Fantastic camera!!!

I searched around online and found this was the best price for this camera, and it included other add ons like a card and a blue tooth mobile adapter and battery. Plus no tax and free shipping. Literally the best deal online.

When you purchase, you also get a camera concierge to ask questions about your camera....which is really cool.

It's a bit heavier than my old Nikon d2100 but has way more bells and whistles compared to it. Excited to give video a try since the old camera didn't record video.

Great camera for the price

Ordered a Nikon camera. It also came with some free stuff--a spare battery, a 16GB memory card, and a mobile wireless adapter. Shipping was also free. It was supposed to be shipped 3 day,but took 6 days not including day order was placed or 2 weekend days.

cool extra stuff & free shipping made this purchase fantastic!

I got the camera a couple weeks ago. Delivered on time and in one piece. Have not found any problems with it as of yet. I'm hopeful.

So far so good.

love it. easy to use, few effort to learn, nice pictures

I was very impressed with the first few pics I took. They are sharp, good color balance. The focusing system, which is a series of squares took me some getting used to. I still have a lot to learn, but so far, I'm very impressed. 

A Fine Camera for a Good Price

I recently stepped up to this body from a Canon Rebel 5, and have loved it. Beyond the Canon/Nikon differences, there are so many more controls to learn that it can feel a bit overwhelming at first. However, I wouldn't go back. I shot with my Canon today, and wished I had picked up the D7100 instead.

Great Camera if you are willing to learn

Awesome Camera for a great price! I could see the quality in every image!

Great buy! Awesome quality!

Many years ago, when 35mm film was king, I was a very serious photo hobbyist. Since then, life happened and I let that hobby go in favor of others.  Lately, though, I have wanted to get behind a camera again.  After literally months of research, I decided on the Nikon D7100 as my entry into the world of DSLR's.  Having purchased it and after using it for a month, I am happy to say that I am extremely pleased with my purchase.

The D7100 feels good in my hands.  The ergonomics are perfect for me and my (admittedly) long fingers.  Every button and dial is within easy reach and exactly where I expect it to be.  The D7100 echoes the layout of my old Nikon F4s in many ways, without the size or the weight.

The menu system for setting up the camera is not particularly intuitive and the manual does not go to great lengths to explain many things, but that gap is easily filled by the dozens and dozens of YouTube videos full of patient explanation. 

One of the major reasons I purchased the D7100 as my "entry level" DSLR is that it has a built-in autofocusing motor.  Which allows me to use a huge number of Nikon lenses that were manufactured over the last several decades. Since I am not a "pixel peeper" and have no intention of printing out a huge image, the Nikon AF-D lenses of the 80's and 90's are a great value and in some cases are built like a tank. The Nikon 24-120mm AF-NIKKOR f/3.5-5.6D is a prime example of that.  The lens is all metal and weighs a ton.  Which I prefer to the dinky, plastic feel of the current G series lenses.  Your mileage may vary however with respect to your needs and desire to lug around heavy lenses.

Overall I am extremely satisfied with the NIkon D7100 and I would recommend it.  Especially if you have no need for WiFI integration.  You can save a couple of hundred bucks by buying the D7100 over the D7200 and maybe spend the money you saved on lenses.

I included an image of my cat, which is a testament to the quickness of the D7100.  I just happened to be walking by with the camera when I saw my cat sitting pretty on top of his perch.  The lighting was not terrific and my cat was mid-bath, but I managed to get five frames before he had had enough and jumped down.

 am happy to say that I am extremely pleased with my purchase

I've been using this camera since 2013 and had to buy another one due to recent theft. This is a great camera!  PROS: It takes very sharp images! The controls are pretty simple to use. You can set menu shortcuts for buttons on camera. You can shoot 1080p videos. There is a built in interval meter for time lapses. There are only a few things I dislike about it. CONS:  One being when your in live view movie recording mode you can't change the aperture on screen due to a known firmware issue. It does not have built in wifi or GPS.  The ISO at night above 1200 images get tend to have lot of noise. The buffer is very small at 6 shots. I would recommend this camera as a starter camera and for someone on a budget but wants a few more extra built in features the entry level cameras don't have. 

Great camera!

I love that the D7100 is lightweight, compact and produces stunning images!

Best Bang For The Buck!

I bought this as a second camera to sub for my Nikon D750 which was in the Nikon repair shop for Shutter problems. It is a very handy size and weight for taking just about anywhere and has nearly all of the functionality of the D750! The controls are almost the same and in the same location. It is probably going to be used as my 'go-to' camera, even though I have The larger camera back now! I like it a lot! The lenses for both cameras are interchangeable of course.
