A complete disaster, the product definitely did not pass the quality check!!!

I do not advise anyone and anyone to contact this device, if you are a professional and value your portfolio, this camera will technically ruin the most brilliant shots! Worst Nikon camera ever! I will never stop wanting to reshoot my entire archive from 2022 to 2022 in full frame! But alas - the elbow is close, but you will not bite! Take me back to those years and give me the D600, D800. Or give D7000
After 4 years of filming on the D800 and on various Sony E crops, I realized how did I shoot on the D7100 for so long? - Now I am reviewing the pictures, again picking up the old RAVs, I am horrified from it. And the camera is functional, flexible in settings, but for a top crop it gives out simply monstrous game in terms of noise, color, and parasitic shades. Most of all, dirty noise infuriates, always and everywhere. The camera does not take out complex, weak or mixed light, it is immediately blown away. I especially want to emphasize the creepy, completely non-photographic rendering of green and red! Just burnt acid without shade and variations. Even a strong decrease in contrast and saturation does not help much. I recently purchased a D7000 after so many years, the colors there, although boring, are adequate in terms of variability of shades, with normal white without parasitic dirt, and all this at a noticeably lower noise level and higher detail. And after the cameras D800, D600, Sony a3500, A5000 and even NEX 3N, D7000, I can't look at any pictures from the D7100 without bloody tears from my eyes! For example, a cheap Sony a3500 with fixes in terms of quality and quantity of parts tears like a heating pad this d7100 in place. The colors are not commensurate at all - a3500 is divine
No money for FF - take Sony or D7000 if you don't want to get off Nikon

Pros

Rewritten review after 6 years! 1) The sharpest matrix of all SLR nikon crops on the market, until the release of the D7200. But this sharpness is terrible cheap, rough, tough! 2) With good optics, high sharpness at low ISO 100-200). Only regarding crops! But who needs snotty sharpness without detail? Part quality NO 3) Ergonomics - moderately comfortable grip and optimal weight. Reliability They thought very well of transferring this standard of convenience to the 600s 4) General build quality and traditional Nikon quality plastic 5) Relatively accurate AUTO WB. 6) Long battery life

Cons

1) Monstrous, dirty, noisy, grainy matrix. Noticeably grainier and noisier than the D5200, which has ISO up to 1600 unconditionally working. At 7100 at ISO 400 outdoors on a cloudy day, the picture just falls apart. Disgusting dirty noise in the shadows when underexposed. Noisy in backlight even at ISO 100. When you zoom in, you can see the grain - on a full-frame camera this is not at all, everything is clean. The picture of the camera is rough, very hard, excessively sharp even with the default sharping +5 with poor fine detail. Despite the fact that 24mp gives free rein to cropping, cropped shots look terrible, without noise reduction, even at ISO 100. 2) Poor video quality on any optic, even at 1080i, is noticeably worse than everyone else, even the oldest and cheapest Sony UPCs. It is not possible to control the hole in the video. 3) Fatal spots of shutter oil quickly appear on the matrix (in the SC they slightly scratched the matrix because they stupidly couldn’t wipe off a couple of spots!). The enlightenment of the viewfinder is unstable + it quickly becomes clogged with dust from the inside. 4) The color is irresponsibly felt-tip pen, burnt, acid, tear out the eye. Indescribably terribly conveys greens and reds (vyryglaznaya acid). Absolutely every color on this camera is transmitted incorrectly with a whole bunch of dirty stray shades that do not exist and never really existed. 5) Focus misses with old screwdriver glasses. 80-200mm, which on the D800 hits 2.8 perfectly on target, on the D7100 it focuses as it should every other time. 6) Extremely sensitive to exposure and hand shake errors - all 24 pm crops with a small pixel suffer from this. There is always a risk of getting micro-blur off your hands when shooting in RAB and JPEG L. Even the mirror flapping in S can cause micro-shifting.
