The Nikon D100 is a fantastic starter DSLR, with a low price and stunning image quality. Those familiar with Nikon’s film cameras will feel right at home with its similar body build, and support for over 40 official AF Nikkor lenses. While the Nikon D100’s six-megapixel resolution might not sound like much today, the sheer quality of the images means printing at much larger sizes is entirely possible, and even encouraged. If you have yet to step into the DSLR world, the Nikon D100 makes an excellent entry point. Less
Compact and powerful, the D5000 is a remarkable blend of simplicity and advanced D-SLR capabilities with breathtaking 12.3-megapixel image quality.

Pros Instantaneous response
Cons Few image stabilizing lenses available
Recommended it? Yes

My much-loved Canon EOS D30 got stolen, so it was once again time to research digital SLRs. Fortunately, this was just on time for the introduction of the Nikon D100, so I wandered down to Samy's Camera in Hollywood to test out both units.

I purchased this camera just over a year ago and I am in love with it. I was just starting out with photography, and this camera made it very easy and less confusing. The pre-set settings (Portrait, Landscape, etc.) take such great pictures that it was only until recently that I even bothered to... Read full review »
