Nobody quite knew what to expect when the D7000 was launched at the Photokina trade fair in Cologne a couple of years ago. It didn't quite replace anything that Nikon had out at the time. The spec was certainly surprising and camera was positively received by Nikon enthusiasts and D-SLR users in general. The D7000 seemed to take of the attributes of other entry-level Nikons - the functionality and handling - and combined them with technology that was available only to their pro-user range - image size, video and build quality.
Consequently, the D7000 could be considered a step up for D300s users and D90 users alike. Needless to say it was warmly welcomed, has sold very well, and has claimed it's niche as the top entry-level camera and stepping stone to the Nikon hundreds - the D800 and the D600 which is due out soon.
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.
Whilst the standard ISO range will remain between 100 and 6400, Nikon will surely move allow it to expand beyond the current maximum of 25,600, perhaps to 102,400, which will make it even better for low light photography.
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.
The video quality provided by the D7000 has always been a great selling point and Nikon will have been looking to improve some of these features. Firstly they will increase the frames rate flexibility, adding 30FPS and possibly 60FPS to the current 24FPS available at the full HD setting. This will also help with the AF speed during filming.
