Key Advantages

The Nikon D100 offers excellent image quality for its class with a 6.1 MP sensor delivering sharp and clear photos.

It is compatible with a wide range of Nikon F-mount lenses, providing extensive creative options.

The camera’s robust build quality offers durability and reliability suitable for professional and enthusiast photographers.

Its user interface is straightforward, making it accessible for users transitioning from film to digital photography.

The D100 features a fast shutter and responsive autofocus system, beneficial for capturing various subjects and action shots.

Compact and relatively lightweight for a professional DSLR of its era, it affords portability without compromising performance.

Limitations

The 6.1 MP resolution is limited compared to modern cameras, reducing image size and detail for large prints.

Lack of live view and video recording features reflects the early stage of DSLR technology during its release.

ISO range topping at 1600 limits performance in very low light situations without additional lighting equipment.

The LCD screen is relatively small with limited resolution, affecting image preview and menu navigation.

Storage relies on CompactFlash cards, which are less common and slower compared to newer memory card formats.

No built-in image stabilization or dust reduction systems, requiring careful handling and maintenance.
