Considering upgrading to the new D7100 from my D5100. Lenses I currently have are the 15-55 afs, 55-200 afs, 50mm 1.8g, and the well regarded Sigma 150-500. My concern regards the two Nikon "kit lenses" and image quality. Will the sensor on the D7100 out resolve the capabilities of these two lenses?

I cannot speak to individual lenses, but as the pixel density has increased, the requirement for better lenses has also increased. A lot of it depends on what you DO with the images. If everything is on your computer and you only print 4x6's, then it won't matter as you will never see the difference. In fact, why bother buying a D7100. If you print large 11x14+ regularly, then lesser quality glass will begin to make a difference.
