Snapbridge ----When it works OK , but getting there is a disaster. Always has some issues. It would be nice -take photos & move on. This NEVER happens. Maybe Firmware will have a easy FIX someday but after 7 years I would think it would done.
If using Android, try turning data off in the phone before connecting. Not very handy/useful, but has worked for me (although with older camera en previous version of the app).

Honestly, I think it's a very personal decision, but in your place I would just sell both and buy none. Would use that money for lenses, trying mirror-less, or something else. But if you are asking I guess that you want a DX body, in that case D500 is the best Nikon you can get at the moment.

OK, so with this new information it looks like you don't see it in the LCD screen when using live view.
On the screen, when using live view, it will show up as a vertical bar on the right border of the screen (in the optical viewfinder you will see it at the bottom).
If not visible, press the "info" button to cycle through the options until you see it.
No clue about the wheels not working.

I have the same one for D7200. Used it only on a couple of tests (purchased it for astro a couple of weeks ago and haven't been out sadly); and it feels right about what I would expect for the price. It works, feels fragile but not enough to doubt it will last enough time (if taken care of).
Based on my research and reading reviews, felt to be a good compromise between price and quality. Hope someone else with longer experience will chime in.

Double-checked on a D7200 and it's there.
Based on the screenshot that Paul shared, it should be there in your D7100.
I find it very strange that it won't be there, and more strange if only on manual mode (while showing fine for the other modes).
Can't think of any setting related to this honestly.

Yeah, I have quite dark skies a couple hours drive, so great advantage on that.
Glad to have helped with at least some tips.
Your tracker is a very good and popular one, you will find tons of YouTube videos on how to set and align it with further details. But it's quite basic, just needs precision.
Good luck with the weather

I use a different one, and I'm in southern hemisphere (so aligning is somewhat harder here) but:
1. As said level your tripod, a sturdy one obviously.
2. Pre-aim it to the north, as the azimut correction range of the base is quite limited only for minor adjustments
3. Also make dial in your latitude in the vertical (right ascension?) so you have a rough alignment
4. Mount all your gear, even accessories like remote shutter and lens heater if used. And already roughly aim your camera to the desire composition
5. Balance your set up with the counterweight.
6. Align as precisely as you can
Items #4 & #5 tries to minimize physical interaction after fine alignment was done, to avoid ruining it.
Also, make sure to take test shots to check for trailing, and if you are in a long session double-check once in a while.
ENJOY IT! (I'm a bit jelous :-D )

Same happens with Z mount lenses for Nikon.
I guess that they can't yet produce comparable quality at a significantly reduced price to be appealing for customers. If they could make "the equation" work, they would be producing them.

Same happens on my car, and I think it's unbelievable that someone design that, and others approved it.

Well, it ain't really all that bad but y'all know what I mean!
I agree with you, but I sincerely hope that you and other experienced UHH users will continue sharing their knowledge and expertise with the rest of us.
Even if the OP doesn't even read the answers, some of us do it and are thankful
Maybe we should all express that more, but I personally sometimes don't do it if it's not my thread to avoid having lots of "thanks" replies.
Some time ago, I suggested the Admin, if possible, to enable the OP to close a thread once he/she got the answer. This would avoid, if done correctly, repeated answers or hijacking threads or derailing the discussion once the issue has been "solved".

If the photos SOOC are of different size, even by 1 pixel line, then Canon should troubleshoot with you as no third party software involved in that.

32 works for emailing snaps. I use higher settings if I'm outputting to send to a printing service or other uses.
Sorry I thought that screenshot was from the OP and could be causing the mentioned issue

I'm no expert, but 32 in Quality slider for JPEG is very, very low. Any special reason why you have it so low?
Try a higher number, at least 75 (I would suggest something higher like 80-85).
Probably others with more experience can correct me if needed o provide better answers. Good luck.

Not sure about what they mean about the banana not reproducing itself without human intervention.
I planted one little tree in my yard and wound up with ten+ over a few years. Neighbor gained six.
I never did anything to any of the trees. New trees just kept popping up near the older ones.
Makes me wonder about the other statements.
Amusing though.

This one also seems unlikely to say the least:
