The overall rating of a review is different from a simple average of all individual ratings.
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 .
The camera has excellent fit, finish and balance, feels like a traditional SLR and produces stunning images. The menu structure is laid out well and is thankfully supplemented with knobs, dials and switches that take most of the need to menu hunt out of the picture. Most common shooting funtions and adjustments are reached by twirling controls, exactly like any SLR. If you have used a Nikon AF SLR, then you'll feel right at home. Everything is where it should be and the learning curve is very simplistic. The picture quality range is selectable from non-compressed to small jpegs. I personally find the large, fine jpeg format suits me just fine for 8X10 full bleed prints virtually indistinguishable from 35mm film. This file sizes are about 3.5 MB and are easily handled in Photoshop Elements or similar programs and yield stunning results. Would I buy another ???? .... in a heartbeat.
Heres the specs:
1)Built around a 23.7 x 15.6mm RGB CCD, the D100 captures images with an incredible, film-rivaling 6.1
2)Pictures are amazingly detailed and color-rich, with resolutions up to 3008 x 2000 pixels
3)3D Matrix Metering
4)5 Area Dynamic Autofocus with Focus Tracking and Lock-on
5)Built-in Speedlight featuring D-TTL flash control capability + standard ISO-type hot shoe
p.s. i bought mine from www.amazon.co.uk at around £1400.

Wow, that's pretty expensive now that digital cameras have come down in price! Nikon is a good make, though; my husband still has an old fully manual Nikon camera and takes some wonderful pictures with it. Sue
