Pros: Surprisingly good image quality for the time; classic Nikon ergonomics; compatibility with Nikon F lenses; lightweight and easily workable RAW files.

Cons: Limited ISO performance (over 800 the quality collapses), dated and not very fast autofocus, slow burst, much outdated technology

Opinion: Purchased in 2002, it was my first underwater reflex and also brought me closer to "dry" photography. A fascinating machine, pleasant to use and of excellent quality at the time. Today it is affected by age and rapidly advancing technology so I made the switch to the D850, but while waiting to suit it I still use the D100 underwater.

Pros: Excellent reflex with similar features to Nikon D70 and D70s

Cons: For the product of the time, no one

Opinion: Bought used years ago, I review it now because I find it an excellent reflex still today. I also own Nikon D200 and Nikon D300. I like that slight grain at high iso, it's great and intuitive even if it's a SEMI PRO. Even if the menus are only in English, you get used to it. I'm still using it a lot despite also having a Nikon D70 that has similar features. Still an excellent REFLEX today. It's nice to photograph even in the old way like film, not as many do with live view, all automatically. It's great for learning, it doesn't have the various programs because it's semi pro.

Pros: The first Pro (not flagship) with Sony CCD sensor, robust and reliable that can still have its say, despite the more than twenty years since its release

Cons: I would say none, too bad for the firmware not upgradable and the menu without Italian language

Opinion: My first DSLR was the D70 which came out two years after the D100 and cost exactly half as much as the D100. Shutter speed 1/4000 sec. and flash sync 1/250sec, lower than those of the D70, which reaches 1/8000 and sync at 1/500. Both 6 MP CCD sensor, but in the D100 the Raw is almost 10Mp, against the 6Mp of the D70. I found a better feeling than the D70. In those years the evolution of digital grew rapidly but substantially these two sisters are almost the same in terms of image quality. For the rest, CCD sensors have already been mentioned. Today it is found at ridiculously low prices and if you get the opportunity do not miss it, for robustness, reliability and curiosity of a still appreciable past.

Pros: Robustness, image quality, sharpness

Cons: Slow menu navigation, 6 megapixels

Opinion: It was my first digital SLR. Bought used, I immediately appreciated the image quality, colors and sharpness. I had a very good feeling with the camera body and the position of its controls. The machine is sturdy and this affects the weight a bit. Compared to newer cameras the limits emerge, but it is a camera of substance. What I have always not tolerated in the D100 are its 6 megapixels because, producing beautiful photos, I have always regretted not having the original larger file for larger format prints.

Pros: A machine that makes you fall in love, buys for two bucks on ebay, it is very reminiscent of a film machine

Cons: I couldn't find any.........

Opinion: When there was film you competed to use low sensitivities, just think of the iso of the velvia or the ektachrome! On occasions of low brightness you could get to the maximum, with a lot of grain at 1600.The gusts (sic) were avoided with appropriate and very valid glances, just think of the sports photos made even with rolleiflex.Returning to our good D100 with a bit of craft you can do everything while having fun, the digital, Nikon, of the early 2000s offer those who know how to appreciate them and understand them possibilities to take excellent shots without running after the exasperated and consumerist technology that at the beyond the many sequins to us amateurs offers very little ......
