Styled around the more traditional N80, the D100 has a full-featured body, is nicely weighted and considerably lighter than you might expect, given the amount of technology that’s packed into it.

    Nice seller and camera

    Nikon D100 is a GREAT Digital SLR
    I call the Nikon D100 the “VOLVO” of digital SLR cameras. It is safe and rugged, and once you buy one, you cannot buy any other.

    Good Camera, Be Careful
    This is a good camera, but it’s a little behind the times. The only real complaint is the requirement to purchase a special adapter to use commerical lights etc.

    My second digital platform
    As a serious amateur (means limited budget), the D100 was chosen for several reasons. 1. It would take all my Nikon lenses and resembled the layout and feel of my F80 (N80). 2.

    I’ve always been an avid Nikon user. And from now on I’m even more than ever!
