This camera, while quite dated, produces really beautiful colors. I started looking into one for astrophotography because it filters less IR and UV light, but unfortunately the sensor gets *extremely* noisy past 10 second exposure times. Taking photos outside on a nice clear day, though, is where it shines. If you're looking to take up photography as a hobby on the cheap (I got mine for $20 plus another 20 for a new battery and memory card) this is absolutely the camera to do it. The resolution is low by today's standard and it's now almost 15 years old, but with today's photo sharing social media image compression and resizing it can keep up well enough for hobbyists. Gorgeous pictures.

The Nikon D100 is an overlooked camera. Sure, it lacks in features that the D200, 300 and 90 have, it cycles slowly, it only has 6 MP, etc. Oh and as stated by other reviews, the screen on the back is inaccurate and the image is always slightly over or underexposed than it really is. However, once you figure out how to use it, it's a solid workhorse that's great to shoot with. It takes a bit more know-how than cameras like the D40, D50 and the D70, but then again practicing and relying less on auto functions make you a much better photographer. Tips: - I shoot a lot of low-light/evening photography and do not go over ISO 800, which might be a drawback for some folks (and is for me, but that just means I need a tripod or need to think about my images more) - Bracketing is a good idea if you're concerned about the inaccurate screen - just turn on the bracketing function and set the shutter to continuously fire 3 or 4 shots - The feel/weight of the camera is great - much like nicer pro slrs - Find a lens with as much aperture as possible (can get pricey, but the Nikkor 50mm 1.8 AF is cheap and suits it very well) - I shoot in JPEG and am content with how the images come out on "fine" - Don't get bent out of shape with MP, 6 is fine if the rest of the exposure/subject matter/focus equation is balanced correctly. Have fun with it! It's so cheap nowadays, just get out there and learn how to be a better photographer! If it gets damaged or stolen it's cheap to replace!Read full review
Ok,so, first of all, I am not a professional photographer, barely an amateur ... My experience with Nikon camera is limited only to a Nikon D50 that I got from a friend. I am amazed at all the features this camera has. It is also very rugged and feels great in my hands, buy maybe a little bulky if I were to take it with me on a trip somewhere. For every day picture needs (Facebook mostly), my iPhone does a great job. I got this camera to use in my little studio setup to take artistic pictures for my web site. Compared with my Sony NEX VG10 and my iPhone, this camera has something different. The colors are warmer, more artistic, even if the pixel count is way lower. In my limited experience, a Nikon camera will give you better pictures than any other consumer camera (I never tried Canon, so I can't compare it with their cameras). One thing you must consider are the lenses, and I think you should have at least 2, one for closer pictures and one with zoom. I had few lenses left from the Nikon D50 that I used to own, so for me that was no problem. For web photography, the pixel count is not a huge issues as I want pages to load fast so I had to size down the other pictures anyways, but the depth of filed and color quality of this camera really makes a difference for what I need to accomplish.Read full review
Bad: Other than the slow wake up when I turn the camera on, It does everything I wanted it to do as a backup camera for when I didn't need my D800. Good: Picture quality is superb. I know the camera is 12 years old and there are many nice smaller cameras but it has all the same features and functions of my other cameras although the image quality is slightly less. At 6 mb per pic I still get all the data I need for making large prints.

The D100 is a fantastic camera that holds it's own against modern cameras with regards to image quality. I purchased this camera as a second camera to compliment images taken with my Nikon D200. There are a few problems with the D100 that make correct exposure difficult to obtain. The image screen displays images that look overexposed though the image is actually is underexposed. The histogram will sometimes show a flat line indicating little or no detail. As a wedding photographer is find it best to use the flashing overexposure warning and find I can achieve best exposures is a small amount of the Bride's dress is flashing overexposed. I shoot in RAW so I can bring back a little bit of lost detail. Once it is understood how to achieve correct exposure images stand up well against the D200, and once images have been re-sized you cannot tell the difference in quality. Don't mistake it the D100 shoots superb quality images, once you learn how to use it. The D100 has no sink port unless you combine it with the vertical grip. The camera works well in aperture priority, and TTL mode works well also. The D100 has nowhere near the number of features as the D200. It will take an AI lens, but you can only shoot on full manual mode. I use manual focus AI lenses that will work great on the D200 in aperture priority, so I use the D200 to meter exposures then copy settings into the D100. Both the D100 and the D200 are fantastic cameras but neither one has low noise quality at high ISO as with cameras like the D300. To get great results you need to be a better photographer. If you are a beginner you probably should avoid using a D100 as it is unlikely you will get image quality you are happy with. If you can shoot well with the D100 you can say you are a good photographer.Read full review
