Overview — Nikon D100

The Nikon D100 is a DSLR camera built around a 6.1MP APS-C sensor, offering a maximum resolution of 3008x2000 pixels. It uses the Nikon F lens mount, giving shooters access to a broad ecosystem of compatible optics. On the autofocus side, the D100 employs a phase detection system with 5 focus points — a straightforward setup that covers the fundamentals for everyday shooting scenarios.

The ISO range runs from 200 to 1600, giving you a defined sensitivity window to work within across varying lighting conditions. For continuous shooting, the camera manages a burst rate of 3 frames per second, which handles moderate action and event photography. Images are stored on CompactFlash (CF) cards, a robust format well-suited to professional workflows of the era.

The body itself is constructed from polycarbonate, measures 144 x 116 x 81 mm, and weighs in at 700g — reasonably compact for a DSLR. Note that there is no weather sealing and no in-body image stabilization. The D100 includes a built-in flash and an ISO Standard universal hot shoe for external flash units.

A 1.8-inch LCD display is provided for image review. Connectivity includes USB, though WiFi and Bluetooth are not present. Battery life is rated at approximately 300 shots per charge using the EN-EL3 battery.
