Mechanically unsound -- often not working
General Comments
After 11 months, the Nikon D100 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 for $250. This is not your fathers Nikon. Ask the service department at your local store -- I talked to three stores and all say that Nikon D100 is not as reliable as comparable Canon. I will never buy another Nikon after this experience.

I'm very happy.
Mind you, for extra peace of mind I have a five year extended guarantee which includes accidental damage too...
Hope I never need to call on it.
