In Reply to: Almost off topic- Anyone own a Nikon D100 camera? posted by mosin on August 6, 2005 at 10:13:41:
For the past 5 years I've been using a Nikon F100 film camera. I'd guess the D100 would be something akin to the digital version of it. Truth be told I mainly use my aging Sony FD81 digital camera for much of my website work. It's a right now you got it kind of camera. The film camera requires some out of pocket expenses for film, then development, then film scanning to digitize. Still, results can be good that way.With regard to the F100, I see excellent build quality. (cast magnesium frame, fit & finish are first rate) Just looking at these pieces is enough to cause a severe case of lust. I've had no problems with mine. Operation takes some study but once familiarity sets in, it's a very nice tool. Not a play toy, or something for the casual user. This is serious gear. It feels rather large in hand and then weighs a bit when you've got it strapped over the shoulder. Yet the grip and feel are easily adapted to and just right for doing the job.
The main reason I haven't gone the digital slr route yet is I'm waiting for full frame ccd models to come down in price. What I think I see in the world of digital slrs is similar to what we see in personal computers. Very rapid obsolescence. The premium price of the current model falls rapidly in a year or two as the new replacement models are introduced.
Here's a link to much more info on all things Nikon.
http://www.nikonians.org/ (use link below) I've found the forums at the site to be of value. Even though the site is maintained by the Nikon organization, the forums appear to tolerate criticism of the brand graciously. Moderators there appear to be professional photographers.-Steve
