The resolution revolution in DX format.

The Nikon D7100 was a landmark camera for Nikon's APS-C lineup. It introduced a 24.1MP CMOS sensor without an optical low-pass filter a first for the D7x00 series delivering unprecedented sharpness and resolving power for its class. The D7100 also featured the advanced Multi-CAM 3500DX 51-point AF system inherited from professional Nikons, with 15 cross-type sensors and support for f/8 central focusing. Its unique 1.3x crop mode increases the telephoto reach by 1.3x while boosting continuous shooting to 7 FPS and reducing the file size. Built with a magnesium alloy chassis and comprehensive weather sealing, the D7100 remains a durable, high-resolution workhorse for photographers who value build quality and fine detail over modern connectivity.
