Nikon D100 6.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body Only

Strengths: Ease of use. Compatability with existing lenses and SB28 flash. No useless video system.

Weakness: You need a programme to work on the NEF (raw) files. Nikon capture should come with the camera.

Having owned a F90X for several years it was very easy to understand the controls. Like using a 35mm camera.The flexibility in being able to change the ISO midstream is a real boon. Not having to change rolls of film, right when you need to take that all important shot.I enjoy using the D100, I wish I had of bought one earlier.

Nikon D100 6.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body Only

Strengths: Easy to learn and use. Excellent macro ability. F A S T auto focus.

Weakness: None that I have found to date

Excellent quality. I use RAW format...You can change the white balance even AFTER you shoot. You can also change the exposure after you have shot. This makes it so very easy to keep from screwing up that perfect shot you may not have had time to set up for properly. Pretty darn perfect photographic quality 13 x 19 prints from my Canon 9000 printer. Now that they make a compact flash 1 gigabyte...

Nikon D100 6.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body Only

Strengths: This is the camera I've been waiting for. I'm able to use all my existing Nikon lenses, and it has all the SLR features that you expect in a Nikon.

Weakness: The 1.5x lens factor takes some getting used to, especially since I like to do alot of outdoor wide angle photography, but getting an 18mm lens yields the same image as a standard 28mm lens.

I've been using digital photography for about five years now, but always went back to my Nikon FM2 for any "important" photographic moments. With the D100, I can now stay in the digital domain for both casual snapshots and more serious photography.

Nikon D100 6.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body Only

Strengths: A natural move from a Nikon film SLR. Performs well under heavy use.

Weakness: Minimal dust protection

I purchased the D100 just a few months after it was introduced and with it, I bought the Nikon 24-85mm macro and 70-300mm lenses with the MB-D100 battery pack. Since then I have produced over 45,000 images without any problems. I am absolutely satisfied with its performance and the quality of the images produces. This camera provides enough options to challenge the most adventurous photographer....

Nikon D100 6.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body Only

Strengths: Familiar SLR operation. Works with Nikon AF lenses and flashes. Accepts IBM microdrives.

Weakness: Gotta watch the White Balance. Auto WB is a little off.

This is what I've been waiting for: a digital camera that allows full creative control while still providing me the instant gratification that only digital can bring. It only took me a couple of minutes to figure out the major controls and get out shooting. Being able to focus and frame through the pentaprism is sweet. This is the best of both worlds. I got the 24-85MM, f2.8-4, AF Zoom Nikkor to...

Nikon D100 6.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body Only

Strengths: It is a Nikon, through and through. All my 35mm lenses fit and work on this camera. The image quility is as good if not better than the Nikon D1x and less than half the price.

Weakness: The little issue of having to multiply the focal length of your lens by 1.5 is a pain. I had to keep my 990 just so I could afford to shoot wide angle and fisheye images when necessary.

I do a lot of editorial shooting and sometimes I need to get a great shot of someone who has never posed in front of a camera. The ability to shoot a few hundred shots without having to change film (and pay for the processing) is a real plus. By the time you have shot thirty or so, they have forgotten about the camera and are relaxed. Changing from ASA 200 to 3200 in the middle of a shoot is...

Nikon D100 6.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body Only

Strengths: Ecellent Film like images. Marvelous Autofocus. Low Noise.

Weakness: Smaller Buffer

I had a chance to test Canon 10D with D100 recently. I found D100 much better in autofocus speed and performance mainly in low light situation. (AF assist was turned off). Noise in D100 is almost equal or lesser uptil ISO 800 and quite less at ISO 3200. Also there are no Front focusing or back focusing issues with D100 while digital photography reviews site forums are full of complains about...

Nikon D100 6.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body Only

Strengths: flexibility of use & it allows use of all nikon lenses

Weakness: size & weight, but that's a small tradeoff for the flexibility of using all the nikon & 3rd party lenses

Bought it Thanksgiving 2002 and haven't used any silver process film since. Put on an AF lens and shoot slowly, and it's almost foolproof. Just got the new 24-85 "G" lens and the show shoot is history. Don't look for the latest, Nikon seems to have gotten it right straight from the beginning.

Nikon D100 6.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body Only

Strengths: Easy, intuitive operation. Excellent pix. and software. Amazing battery life.

Weakness: 180th x-synch speed should be 250 or 500. Screw-in cable release silly -- should accept MC-20 ten-pin.

This is what I've waited for -- reasonably-priced digital body that allows me to use my many existing Nikkor lenses. They've done an excellent job. Easy to learn and use. Easy, good, bug-free software. Best flash-controls in the business. Optional SB-800 really completes the package. I shouldn't have waited so long. Very impressed.

Nikon D100 6.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body Only

Strengths: By far the best camera of this type on the market. Can use all of Nikons current lens. Very fast. Long lasting rechargeable litium battery.

Weakness: Only weakness I could find is that the optional battery pack will not allow you to use rechargeable Ni-MH batteries like I use with my N80 and F100. Use two lithium instead.

This camera is fantastic. I gave it the highest rating because it is impossible to beat for the price. The 1.5 lens factor makes all of your telephoto lens really reach out but also will increase your wideangle lens by the same factor. This will probably change in a few years so that a digital camera will be the same as your 35mm film camera. Extremely easy to use and understand. Another quality...
