Review: I have had the Nikon D100 for a month now and to say I am happy with it is an understatement. I have used a 35mm SLR for around 10 years and was reluctant to move over to digital. As a stepping stone a brought a Kodak 2mb digital camera to see if I like the idea, and I did. So taking the step towards a digital SLR was easier. The quality of the images from the Nikon is very high. Tips I would recommend using the 'Fine' setting as what's the point of a 6mb camera if you don't use it to its spec. Get a 1GB microdrive (or two) as these images take up a lot of space. At the Fine Jpeg setting you can fit just over 300 images on a 1GB card, or at tiff setting around 50, or if you use the basic setting around about 3700! Get a spare battery. Although the one included can last as long as 300 pics, it's always worth being on the safe side. Do not be put off by reports that the Nikon D100 under exposes images. Its true it does but there is a reason for this, In order to capture more detail. To resolve this you can download solutions to install into your camera via Nikon Capture 3 (free trial included with camera). But by far the easiest way is to adjust them in Photoshop. After all these images are made to manipulate, it's half the fun! My only problem would be the door to where you insert the microdrive. It feels cheap, which is a real shame, as the rest of the camera feels very sturdy. Apart from that a very nice camera, very much doubt if I will ever go back to using 35mm. |
