Overall Rating

- Ease of Use

Excellent build quality, ease of use and quality of output.
Bad Points
Be careful about Mr Dust and Ms Lint when switching lenses. There is no real safe way to clean the CCD except for a blowoff can or bulb.
General Comments
The camera has excellent fit, finish and balance, feels like a traditional SLR and produces stunning images. The menu structure is laid out well and is thankfully supplemented with knobs, dials and switches that take most of the need to menu hunt out of the picture. Most common shooting funtions and adjustments are reached by twirling controls, exactly like any SLR. If you have used a Nikon AF SLR, then you'll feel right at home. Everything is where it should be and the learning curve is very simplistic.
The picture quality range is selectable from non-compressed to small jpegs. I personally find the large, fine jpeg format suits me just fine for 8X10 full bleed prints virtually indistinguishable from 35mm film. This file sizes are about 3.5 MB and are easily handled in Photoshop Elements or similar programs and yield stunning results.
Would I buy another ???? .... in a heartbeat.
On average, people found this review very helpful

Nikon D100 review test
The D100 was Nikon's first amateur DSLR, introduced way back in 2002. It was replaced by the improved D70 in 2004 and the D70s in 2005. Oddly you can still buy the D100 and even have to pay more...
