I bought this baby to act as photographer for my daughter's wedding. I previously used Olympus and Canon SLRs for photojournalism, and more recently have used Kodak and Nikon consumer digital cameras. See my report on the Coolpix 775.
As a photographer who used to be used to SLR cameras and hours spent in the darkroom, I always longed for a Nikon. Now the D-100 has arrived at the affordable end of the digital masters professional cameras.
The camera is so fully featured, I have not yet learned to use half of them yet, after 3 months of continuous use. See the manufacturer's review for details. The downside has been the manual, which does not cover the features in a readable manner. On the other hand, the user base is huge and there are many online sources of help from user groups.
The lenses to go with the camera body can be quite expensive, especially the new DX lenses, which allow all the features of the camera to be used.
I would suggest that the first time user buys a general purpose zoom lens for approx £80 to start off with. A good DX lens is nearly £1k!!!
A great camera, from a great company. Shame about the price of lenses and the poor documentation

Review of Nikon D100
Advantages: Excellent build quality, ease of use and quality of output Disadvantages: Be careful about Mr Dust and Ms Lint when switching lenses. There is no real safe way to clean the CCD except for a blowoff can or bulb.
