Nikon managed to surprise us all when they introduced the D7000 In Cologne in September 2010. No one knew what to expect because the D7000 didn't exactly replace anything. But, instead of producing a mash up and calling it a camera, Nikon managed to produce a body that took some of the best attributes from their entry-level cameras (handling and functionality) and some great features from their top range bodies (image file size, video quality and build specs) to create a top end beginner's camera that could compete with the best.
This meant that the D7000 appealed across the board, to D300 users who liked the way the new camera handled and to D90 users who were bewitched by the 16Mp sensor and splendid video options. Nikon had released a top seller that went on to win the 'European Advanced SLR Camera of the Year 2011-2012' at the EISA.
However, after only two years, the D7000 is due for a upgrade. So what can we expect from the Nikon D7100? Well firstly, the camera will look very similar to the D7000 and still have the tough, weathersealed magnesium alloy body-shell, which is such a selling point to enthusiasts and professionals who need some robustness.
The 24 megapixel sensor, which has caused such excitement in the Nikon D3200, will replace the 16 megapixel sensor that is currently in the D7000. The 36 megapixel, currently in the D800 is available to Nikon, but I think they will hold that back for the higher end bodies, like the D600 which will probably be launched this month.
The ISO range of the recently launched Nikon D4 means it can take a picture in almost pitch black. I doubt the D7100 will have a similar range up to 204,800, but I think we should expect an improvement on the current 25,600. Pushing it to 102,400 should satisfy the low light specialists.
I don't think Nikon need to change the top shutter speed of 1/8000 - who needs more than that? However, they will be looking to increase the burst rate from 6FPS, probably to a sexier 8FPS. They will also improve the buffer to cope with the increased size and speed of the files. This will also help the D7100 handle video more effectively.
When the D7000 was launched, the video quality was remarkable for an entry-level camera. However, now the other manufacturers have caught up. whilst the D7000 is capable of HD video, it is limited to a single frame rate. If Nikon want to make the D7100 a serious contender in this area, they will have to offer alternative speeds - at least 30FPS and 60FPS. This will give the video a smoother feel and also help the camera focus more quickly and more accurately whilst filming.
