What reviewers say

Both praise detailed images, good high-ISO results and the larger burst buffer, while considering it a modest D7100 update. Photography Blog finds dependable low-light autofocus but limited smartphone controls and no articulating screen. Photo Review sees little autofocus improvement over the D7100 and criticises slow live-view and movie focusing, while retaining strong viewfinder autofocus and generally good image quality.
