Nikon D100

Pros: Instantaneous response

Cons: Few image stabilizing lenses available

The Bottom Line: This is an excellent camera, but so is the new EOS D60. Read the full review to see why I give the nod to the D100, at least for now.

Review: My much-loved Canon EOS D30 got stolen, so it was once again time to research digital SLRs. Fortunately, this was just on time for the introduction of the Nikon D100, so I wandered down to Samy's Camera in Hollywood to test out both units. This is a...

Pros: Quality shots; robust body; after initiation intuitive menus

Cons: Long cycle times (RAW format), not prepared for pics in ISO mode, owner manual weak

The Bottom Line: This is a great choice when transitioning to digital from film for the enthusiast who desires high quality shots and has experience in camera manipulation to obtain desired results

Review: I've had my D100 for about a year, transitioning from film (slowly) - my past cameras have included everything from an original Kodak 35 mm (circa 1960) to a Nikon F2AS. My primary shots involve outdoor and low light indoor environments, as well as...

Pros: Bye, Bye Film!

Cons: OK, if you a pro not "perfect" else YES!!!

Review: I've had the D100 for almost a week. Shot 2000+ photos: trying every imaginable combination of f-stop, iso, and shutter. That is what makes this camera soooo awesome! If you are an advanced amateur looking to progress in the field this camera is for...

Pros: Easy to use, Great Photos, Long Battery life, functionality

Cons: Haven't found any

The Bottom Line: Recommend Nikon D-100. A great camera for all around use and functionality.

Review: My first Digital SLR. Began shooting hundreds of pictures changing various settings learning how to shoot.

I am not as skilled as all the other reviewers however this camera made a lot of sense for me. As I fly small airplanes I get the...

Pros: See review

Cons: See review

The Bottom Line: Excellent camera due to it's huge amount of features, solid build, superb image quality and reasonable cost.

Review: First, let me say that I am quite renowned for being a fanatical researcher. Before I buy something, I usually do weeks of research....talking to people, reading forums, examining test reviews. So when I decided to buy a digital camera, things were...

Pros: Negligible lag time when powering up the camera, long battery life.

Cons: Not for casual users, Pictures need post-processing, price, Nikon Capture 3 costs extra.

The Bottom Line: Excellent digital SLR that handles just like a Nikon film SLR.

Review: The D100 is Nikon's first model in the affordable digital SLR market. It directly competes with the Canon D60 and Fuji S2. It has a 6 megapixel CCD, compability with most of the Nikkor SLR lenses with ideal matching with D and G lenses, has a...

Pros: WHEN IT WAS WORKING, the D100 took beautiful pictures and was easy to use.

Cons: It wasn't working full time.

Review: After 11 months, the lens assembly broke. (Fortunately, still under warranty.) After 17 months, (10,000 photos) the shutter stopped working. NIKON WANTED $500 TO FIX IT. After much haggling and many weeks without the camera, they agreed to fix it...

Pros: Clear pictures. ISO 200-1600 - great for wild life photography.

Cons: Battery goes flat if left in the camera when not in use.

Review: I purchased my D100 over two years ago because I already had Nikon SLR gear and could thus use the existing lenses. I am very happy with the D100 except that if I leave the battery in the camera it goes flat within two weeks without any use. If I...

Pros: Uses SLR lenses, fantastic resolution, familiar controls, no shutter delay!

Cons: Expensive, large, only 6 shot buffer, no IEEE-1394, changes lens focal length to 1.5X

The Bottom Line: Worth the wait? Absolutely. Worth the price? When the Canon EOS D-60 is $2200, the Nikon D1X is $4650 and the Contax N is $8000, $1700 is a bargain.

Review: It's strange having the distinction of being the first to review this particular camera on this site. I usually don't consider myself to be a leading-edge sort of guy, but I really got tired of dealing with my film cameras and slow point-and-shoot...

Pros: Easy to use all of the controls are familiar to all Nikon users

Cons: images are a little underexposed but very saturated. Use the software to adjust to perfect.

The Bottom Line: It allows you the freedom to create and explore at no cost and gives you instant results. Enjoy your freedom

Review: I recently have stepped up to the digital camera challenge. I have long been an avid film camera user. I had the chance to use a Nikon D100. To say the least I was very impressed. It was so easy to use after shooting with my F5 that it was almost...
