The D100 enters that new segment of the digital camera market which was created when Canon released the EOS-D30. It's the middle ground between the high end $1,000 prosumer digital cameras and professional D-SLR's. This years PMA saw the announcement of no less than four new D-SLR's all aimed at that $2,000-$3,000 segment. It's still pretty amazing to think that you can now pick up a six megapixel D-SLR for around $2,000.Read more
The Nikon D100 has the quality and flexibility of a serious 35mm that until recently were found only on far pricier digital cameras. Short D100 review by Stephen. H. WildstromRead more
