From the moment you open the box and glance through its contents you are aware of the quality of this camera.

This digital SLR camera is a quality tool for the photographer who has taken the time to learn and experiment its various operational modes. They are quite extensive.

The camera is sold without lens and the first decission that must be made is: what autofoucus lens to marry to your new camera. As most with most digital cameras the CCD in the heart of the camera causes a magnifing effect to the lens.

A 24- 40mm zoom becomes effecitively a 36 - 60mm. If you are looking for a wide - wide angle
you are going to end looking at some lens in the
10 to 20mm range. Nikon has a good selection of lens available as do other lens manufactures, Just remember the better quality of lens, the better quality of print you will make.

Once you take some time to learn the basic operation of the camera its time to hit the road and experiment with your camera. This camera is very-very flexable due to its SLR design.

This should be the camera you take into the field and work with. Travel, close-up work, portraits and every day photography is the bread and butter of the Nikon D100.

Nikon has built its reputation on quality built cameras that can TAKE IT! So iIF you are ready to leave your point and shot camera check out this camera system!

I own a D100 after years of film cameras, mostly Nikon. These varied from high end and some in the middle of their line up. I have no regrets switching to digital as I know that I have the best Nikon I've ever owned and thedigital format is the greatest.

Agree below, way too short

I disagree with everyone else, I think this opinion is a bit pointless. There's no technical details, price even??, no honest opinion about it's quality of photos, ease of use or anything.

Nikon D100 - review by stallion1984

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.
