Is it possible that your exposure meters are set to the reverse option? Nikon standard is right of zero is darker, left is brighter. I think that the D7100 lets you reverse that (Canon standard). Just wondering since all else is reported to be identical.

You focal length was different which changes the light. I would set your cameras to full manual and set them the exact same and shoot again.

It would appear one of the cameras is also set for Auto ISO adjustment. I believe the OP poster thought they were set for ISO 400. One is 250 the other 400

Right, 3 of these are a direct result of the exposure triangle. had the OP looked at and understood the exposure triangle they woulds have immediately seen the difference.
This is a great lesson..A photo is worth a thousand words. We could have sat here and guessed for a long time, and despite the OP telling all was the same on both cameras. The fact is many things were different.

The flash also fired on one and not the other. Why use flash on a landscape picture like that?

I was looking through pictures from pass port and just choose these two pictures too compare too. Later that day we both started shooting in ISO 400 because of clouds and rain.

Capture 48 has it correct, if both your cameras are set for automatic exposure then the smallest differences in focal length and position will change the other exposure settings. Notice how a small difference in focal length ramped up the ISO. To accurately judge the two cameras, set them to manual with identical shutter, aperture and ISO (and exposure comp).
