This compact lightweight camera (W × H × D: approx. 135.5 × 106.5 × 76 mm; weight: approx. 675 g) offers portability and is loaded with features that enable subject detection and is capable of reproducing the better details.

Digital SLR Camera Performance
The combination of high pixel count and the full HD quality of the D7100 can be enhanced further with NIKKOR lenses, which offer better rendering performance made possible with Nikon’s own optical technologies.
The camera also offers a number of new functions that improve camera operations for a more intuitive and efficient shooting experience, including Spot White Balance, a white balance preset manual option that allows users to choose a specific subject from which white balance is measured while shooting in live view.
It is also equipped with an array of RGBW that enables more effective accumulation of light, a large, 3.2-inch high-resolution TFT LCD monitor with a wide viewing angle and an i button that enables direct access to frequently used functions.
