The Nikon D7100 is clearly a very well thought out and put together DSLR. Its new screen is a major plus. It’s not just the larger-than-average 3.2in LCD screen, as well as the 1224k-dot resolution, but bright, vivid colours and outstanding viewing angles. It’s as clear as any DSLR screen going. The viewfinder is just as good, so you always get a clear idea of what you’re shooting and the end result.
