Nikon outs D7100, omits Low Pass Filter

After two years and half of wait, Nikon has finally unveiled the successor of the D7000 in the form of the Nikon D7100. It packs a handful of upgrade over its predecessor, but the imaging giant has surprisingly preferred better resolution over the optical low pass filter.

The recently announced dSLR camera now packs a 24.1-megapixel DX-format APS-C CMOS sensor. At its core is an EXPEED3 image processor which is capable of 6 frames/second shooting in DX mode and 7fps on 1.3x crop mode.Nikon also enhanced the D7100’s autofocus capability by expanding the AF system 51 with 15 cross-type sensors from 39 points with 9 cross-type on the previous model.

The Nikon D7100 is also a tad lighter in comparison to its predecessor. In addition, it also sports a slightly bigger LCD screen with a crisper resolution.

    Hi Ronnie, was it a typo that you wrote this is a successor of D700? D7100 is the successor of DX-format D7000… as user nex-6 pointed out
