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
