Review: I use the D100 for taking photos of my young child and it is superb for this use. The digital camera allows me to view the photos and delete the ones where she's blinking or moving or got her finger up her nose, whilst the resolution of the image taken is great for blow-ups upto A3 size at least. It's easy to use, takes my existing NIKKOR lenses and is in the price range for amateurs like me. I find that I need to re-process each image using Photoshop to increase the image saturation, and change the contrast, but I believe that this is necessary for most digital cameras and I actually enjoy doing it so it's not a negative point for me. On the plus side: - You can be as pro or amateur as you like with the various controls - The photo quality is great and at 6 MegaPixels the image that results is more than satisfactory - Its a great digital SLR at a price that positions it in the amateur market On the negative side: - I find the controls all over the place, in comparison to the F80 that I also own. The AE-Lock is one button, the focus location is another, the Aperture or Shutter speed is another button. I prefer the two-wheel and LCD control approach implemented on the F80. - The automated depth of field is not as well done as the F80 and needs more manual supervision to ensure that all objects that should be sharp actually are - Battery life, whilst good, is still a drawback and I recommend purchase of a spare battery that can be charging whilst you're using the first. Overall, I rate this product highly and would recommend anyone with NIKKOR lenses and an interest in digital cameras to buy this product |
