I am currently a Canon guy, but the D7100 that my sister has is a fine piece of equipment and would be my choice if I didn't already have a 70D Canon. They are great cameras and settings are very easy and intuitive once you get used to the controls.

Rent one for a day - use it, get the feel for it.
I did, loved it and bought it.

In my opinion, its the best camera for the money at this time.

Great camera but don't let it bounce. Mine fell 2' onto hard concrete, impacting on the top rh corner. It did still work but the rear wheel was somewhat stiffish Required new magnesium alloy top and rear covers.
Buy it, you'll enjoy it.

I use a D800e as my primary body. I bought my sons d7100s for Christmas and I was so impressed that I got one as a backup.

It is a wonderful camera and is the top of the line of crop cameras. I bought it to re-learn photography, basically from scratch, and have gotten a bit over-whelmed by all the options the thing has.
I have two peeves;
1) The way the built-in flash works, or rather the way it insists on working if I want to put a non-Nikon flash on top. Would it have been so hard to be able to turn it off and have the hot shoe still work.
2) You can get 6-7 fps for the first second. After that, the best you can do is 2. That's if you shoot jpg only, use it's even smaller crop mode and use the fastest cards you can get. I use Sandisk 95 MB/s.
My three favorite things;
1) Movies are truly easy to do. Sound is exceptional, for what it is.
2) Any lens at all will work, even my old ones from the early 70's ( AIS ). Non-AI lenses will not mount because of the indexing ring.
3) High ISO. High ISO. High ISO.
Okay, a fourth thing...
High ISO!

I don't understand your flash comment. Perhaps I'm missing something. I use a Yongnuo 560iii on my D7100 all the time-- both on the hot shoe and using an SC-28. Mine works fine

Hey! I have the Yongnuo 560 II. Maybe its close enough. What settings do I use? I thought I'd tried everything on the shoe. It works very well as a slave.

There are several comparable options, especially from Canon, Sony, Olympus, and Fuji. For the total package, between the camera and the system, I don't think any of the other options are better. Overall, though there are no bad choices for $1k interchangeable lens cameras. Have fun with the D7100, or whatever camera you get!
