To create a review, I bought this camera here.
The Nikon D100 was introduced on January 21.01.2002, 1 and became the fourth full-fledged digital SLR camera from Nikon (after Nikon DXNUMX, D1H, D1X).
Nikon D100. The camera is shown with a lens. Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm 1: 1.4D
Matrix
The Nikon D100 uses an APS-C sensor to form an image that is exactly the same physical size as any other Nikon DX series camera, such as Nikon D500 or Nikon D7500... The large sensor size is one of the few advantages of the Nikon D100 these days.
Nikon D100 has a sensor CCD sensor Sony ICX-413-AQ, which can create an image with a maximum size of 3008 x 2000 pixels (i.e. 6 MegaPixels). This sensor is used only in the Nikon D100. At the cameras Nikon D70, D70s, D50 и D40 used very similar but still different sensor Sony ICX-453-AQ (CCD, 6 MP, 3008 x 2000).
Key features of the Nikon D100, especially its matrix, are:
- ability to use RAW ('.NEF') files with 12-bit color depth without compression. Subsequent cameras Nikon D70, D70s, D50 и D40 could use RAW files only with compression (like all models amateur and advanced amateur cameras to this day). One RAW (NEF) image weighs without compression 10 MB.
- ability to use format TIFF (without compression, 8 bits per channel, 24 bit color). This format is not supported by cameras Nikon D70, D70s, D50 и D40 (as with all models amateur and advanced amateur line) The format avoids data loss that occurs during the formation of JPEG images (JPEG FINE uses 1: 4 compression). Unlike the RAW format, the TIFF format is the same displayed in any third-party image processors (Lightroom, ACR, etc.) and does not require a camera profile. True, recording a picture in TIFF format takes about 25 seconds (the time does not depend on the speed or size of the memory card). One TIFF image weighs about 17 MB
- ability to expand ISO base range to ISO HI-1equivalent to ISO 3200. и ISO HI-2equivalent to ISO 6400. (TOP Nikon D1 can do the same, Nikon D1h, Nikon D2h and Nikon D2hs). The amazing thing is that the subsequent model Nikon D200, which appeared 3 years later, had a basic maximum ISO threshold, the same as the Nikon D100, which was all the same 1600 units. And here is the extended ISO range for Nikon D200 became lower (regression). Camera Nikon D200 could only use ISO HI-1, equivalent to the value of ISO 3200. More surprising is the fact that Nikon D300and later Nikon D300s used the extended ISO HI-1 value, which is equivalent to the same ISO 6400 value. Only the ISO 6400 level could be overcome Nikon D3100 (among Nikon DX Cropped Camera Series), which appeared already in 2010 (8 years after the Nikon D100). Situation with Nikon D1x, Nikon D2x и Nikon D2xs Even worse, these cameras are much newer Nikon D100, but their base maximum ISO threshold is only 800 units (2 times lower than that of Nikon D100), and the maximum extended threshold is only 3200 (ISO HI-2).
- large or, as it is also called, bold pixel. The Nikon D100 sensor has a low pixel density (the same as Nikon D70, D70s, D50 и D40) Density comparable to full-frame cameras such as Nikon D700, D3, D3s и Kodak DCS PRO 14n... The large pixel makes it easy to get sharp images even from 'weak' lenses. True, on-camera JPEG with Nikon D100 does not shine in sharpness and it is best to use RAW format for maximum detail.
- Nikon D100 is the only early model camera that uses full mechanical shutter. Shutter for similar 6 MP models Nikon D70, D70s, D50, D40as well as Nikon D1 models, D1h, D1x uses a combined mechanical and electronic shutter (the first curtain is electronic, the second is mechanical).
- the D100 sensor is really not like that Nikon D70, D70s, D50 и D40. This is easily recognized by the total amount. pixels (subpixels) from the instructions. Nikon D100 has 6.31 million pixels / subpixels, Nikon D70, D70s, D50 и D40 has 6.24 million pixels / subpixels. Most likely the same sensor as the Nikon D100, or slightly modified, is used in cameras Konica Minolta Dynax 7D (she Konica Minolta Alpha 7D и Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D) and Konica Minolta Dynax 5D (she Konica Minolta Alpha Sweet Digital и Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D) and Pentax * ist D, Pentax * ist Ds, Pentax * ist DS2 и Samsung GX-L1 (copy of Pentax * ist DL2), Samsung GX-1S (copy of Pentax * ist DS2), Epson r-d1, Epson r-d1s, Epson r-d1x, Epson r-d1xg
- pixels on the Nikon D100 sensor may stop working over time, from which they appear broken or hot pixels. Non-working pixels can appear at any ISO value and any value. excerpts. This ailment is automatically masked by popular RAW converters (ACR, Lightroom, etc.). This ailment affects all Nikon cameras built on the basis of the CCD sensor.
- color space first appeared in the camera sRBG III... Turns on in Shootin Menu-> Color Mode-> III III (sRGB) -> OK. Allows you to get more saturated colors, which is useful for shooting nature, landscapes. Preceding cameras Nikon D1X, D1H had only two color spaces I (sRBG) and II (ADOBE RGB). The first mode gives natural color without color shifts and should be well suited for all types of photography, including portrait photography. The second mode has a wider color gamut and is useful for further processing by experienced users (if you do not know what ADOBE RGB is, do not use it at all, this recommendation applies to all digital cameras)
- Nikon D100 uses a sensor created by technology CCD (CCD). This technology is outdated. It was replaced by CMOS sensors (the first camera with a CMOS matrix - Nikon D2xSeptember 2004). The last camera with a CCD sensor has become Nikon D3000, presented in July 2009 and discontinued in 2010. It is believed that despite its archaic nature, CCD sensors have very good color reproduction, which is appreciated by some amateur photographers. On this topic, I advise you to look into the review Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro (Super CCD SR II sensor).
- Yes long exposure noise reduction... CSM MENU-> 4 Long Exp. NR-> F4 Long Exposure Noise Reduction-> ON ON-> OK. With the function enabled, the camera will subtract noise for each shot, but only if excerpt will be 1/2 c or more (long excerpts, from which such a name of the function). Noise subtraction time is done using an additional shot with the same shutter speed and with the same ISO value, but with the shutter completely closed (it might seem that nothing is happening, since there is no standard shutter release). Eventually double shot time... During the additional shot and noise subtraction, the prompt 'JOB NR' blinks on the monochrome display (noise reduction work in progress). When this function is enabled frame buffer halved.
- Nikon D100 requires a Nikon MB-D100 battery grip to clean the sensor. The menu item responsible for raising the mirror to clean the matrix on the camera without the battery handle is inactive. This is a serious inconvenience. True, in service centers the matrix is cleaned without a battery handle.
The ISO base range is 200-1600 units in 1/3 steps. The maximum basic ISO equal to 1600 units is used by all cameras on the CCD-sensor: Nikon D1, D1h, D1x, D100, D50, D70, D70s, D40, D200, D80, D40x, D60, D3000 and all cameras on the JFET-LBCAST-sensor: Nikon D2H, D2Hs. Thus, I want to emphasize that the Nikon D1 and D100 immediately set a high bar for two or three generations of cameras.
Basic properties
- Nikon D100 is based on a film camera from which the Nikon D100 has a large full-frame mirror and part of the body design
- for JVI the camera uses a pentaprism
- focus module 5 points, exactly the same as the Nikon D50, D70, D70s
- silicon metering module, on 10 segments. Only Nikon D100 from all Nikon central control centers uses this module, it is the most primitive, but at the same time there are no problems with exposure
- the display is only 1.8 inches and 118.000 dots. View the captured material on the display is extremely difficult
- Nikon D100 has a focus motor and will work correctly with non-motorized lenses
- excerpt from 30 to 1/4000 seconds. Unfortunately, at ISO 200 (the lowest possible ISO value for the camera) is the shortest excerptsequal to 1/4000 of a second may not be enough when using high-aperture optics and bright lighting
- flash synchronization is only possible with shutter speeds up to 1/180 s (if you use the step exposure 1/2 steps) or 1/160 s (if using a step exposure 1/3 steps). Of course not high speed sync modeas well as no mode automatic remote control of external flashes through built-in
- The Nikon D100 only supports older D-TTL external flash units. The new I-TTL flashes will not work (or will not work in all modes).
- the built-in flash can be operated in manual 'M' flash control mode, but in this mode only full flash output is always available (cannot be set to 1/2, 1/4, etc.)
- the Nikon D100 uses the same battery as the Nikon D70, D70s, D50. Also, in the Nikon D100, you can use the battery from D80, D90, D200, D300, D300s, D700 (but not vice versa)
- no diaphragm rheostat, and, as a result, there is no measurement exposure with manual optics. This is the only camera in this line that does not have such a function.
- no RAW + JPEG simultaneous shooting function
- Nikon D100 supports CF cards of any size, but on capacious memory cards (more than 16 GB), the camera can only use about 3 GB of memory, which allows you to place about 300 RAW files without compression or 900 JPEG files with a maximum quality of 'Fine' and a maximum size of 'L'. I recommend using memory cards up to 2 GB (с 2 GB CF memory cards Nikon D100 works fine, cards with a capacity of 4 GB or more are formatted and initialized for a very long time when the camera is turned on / wake up). Important: a camera with 1.x firmware can only work with memory cards up to 2 GB; to work with more capacious memory cards, firmware 2.0 is required.
- the camera has an additional monochrome display with which you can quickly configure the camera
- insufficiently thought-out system for changing ISO, BW, image quality and focus method, which is located on the shooting control mode dial (on the drive where PASM modes). Configuring a separate parameter is simple, but you need to constantly transfer the disk back to one of the modes PASM... If this is not done, the camera will not respond to the shutter button.
- The Nikon MB-D100 battery pack can run on 6 AA batteries (or rechargeable batteries) or on two EN-EL3 batteries
- there is no camera orientation sensor, as a result, pictures in portrait (vertical) mode on a computer need to be turned over (set orientation) manually.
- there is no Russian language in the menu
Frame buffer
Nikon D100 can shoot at a maximum speed of 3 frames per second. Wherein frame buffer the camera is small.
With the shutter function off at slow shutter speeds:
- 4 frames RAW (compression or without compression)
- 6 TIFF frames with L / M / S size
- 6 JPEG L frames with any Fine / Normal / Basic quality and any L / M / S size
With long exposure noise reduction function enabled:
- 2 frames RAW (compression or without compression)
- 3 TIFF frames with L / M / S size
- 3 JPEG L frames with any Fine / Normal / Basic quality and any L / M / S size
The write speed to the memory card is about 6 seconds per 1 RAW file no compression (independent of speed or memory card size).
Compressed RAW files are 4-5 megabytes in size. The compression method is set in the camera menu: MENU-> Shooting Menu-> Image Quality-> NEF (RAW) -> RAW NEF (RAW) -> OK. Compressed RAW (NEF) photographs use lossless algorithm.
Important: Nikon D100 records RAW files with compression for a very long time (about 40 seconds per file). The recording speed is little dependent on the speed of the memory card. Most likely, such a slow recording of compressed data is due to the fact that the weak Nikon D100 processor compresses the data for a very long time. Files without compression are written about 5 times faster

My experience
The Nikon D100 is a nice old camera, but unfortunately it is very outdated.
Getting the finished result right away in JPEG from Nikon D50, D70, D70s cameras is much easier.. In general, the Nikon D70 / D70s can do the same thing as the Nikon D100, but in addition they also have a better display, a shorter minimum shutter speed (1/8000 s), support modern I-TTL flashes, can remotely control external flash units through Nikon CLS, have much more settings for adjusting image quality, shoot in RAW + JPEG mode, digest memory cards with large volumes well, have a camera orientation sensor (horizontal / vertical), write data to memory cards faster, weigh easier, cost less to clean sensors do not require a battery pack, excerpt synchronization with the flash is much lower (1/500 s), are easier to set up and operate, show the shutter speed, have a larger frame buffer, have a better exposure metering module ... and many more little things.
I would recommend Nikon D100 only to fans to dig deeper into RAW files from a CCD matrix.
I recommend to look at the section 'Legends go to battle'. Prices for modern Nikon cameras in popular stores can look at this link.

Results
Nikon D100 - An interesting instance of the camera from those times when camera building was only gaining momentum. Nowadays it’s very easy to find many flaws in the Nikon D100, since now the most unpretentious amateur cameras have gone far ahead in their development. In any case, the Nikon D100 can please with its picture and the fact that the camera has been around for many years, and it has been working and working, does it a great honor.

It so happened that Nikon D100 is my first DSLR, now, in 2014! I read the review with interest, thank you. Only you have all the conclusions that this is a decent semi-professional camera, and no matter what you compare it with, you do not recommend it.
I really like that there is no frame that defines the face, and all sorts of sunsets. Works fine

Lena, congratulations, you have a great camera, do not think to sell it. I had a D100, they stole apartment thieves, as I have been looking for a long time to buy it again. This camera takes great photos, just don’t shoot in JPEG, it’s bad taste. Show RAW in Capture One and you will be happy.

Comment of a professional photographer with 25+ years of experience
Strengths: Nikon D100 was produced from 2002 to 2005, but, despite the age of this model, it is quite a working tool for a professional photographer.
In fact, very little has changed in DSLRs since the days of the D100 and Canon 10D. And today it is possible to shoot with “ancient” cameras in almost the same way as with modern ones. In the vast majority of shooting situations, there is no difference between those released 5 years ago and modern ones.
Interface Nikon D100
The Nikon D100 has a much more convenient interface and control than the newer D70, D50, D40. The 80s are a bit more convenient - with one button - but still inferior to the D100.
After the new cameras, it is immediately evident that the D100 has a very small LCD display - 1,8 inches. But if you look, this does not reduce the functionality at all, since the screen is needed in order to see the menu, histogram and overexposure. View the picture does not work either on the screen D100, or on a larger screen D80 or D200.
Nikon D100 Speed
The operating speed of the D100 is slower than the D70. But the modern D80 camera is not doing much better: it quickly turns on and takes the first 3-4 frames, then the brake is the same. “Brakes” interfere with shooting “at machine gun rate” only, which rate happens ... well tell me - how often do you need to press the shutter button faster than once a second? And how often are 3-4 frames missing in a series?
Nikon D100 picture quality
The D100 and D70 have a minimum ISO of 200, not 100 like the D80, D200 and other modern Nikon cameras. But there is one thing: the picture from D100 to ISO 200 is better than from D80 to ISO 100. The fact is that the D80 is compressed raw, and this setting cannot be disabled. For example, raves with D100 and D80 weigh the same - 10 MB each, for D200 (the same matrix as for D80) - 15 MB. That is, in the D80 file, some of the information is simply thrown out. And this is sharpness and dynamic range. The loss in quality is about 1.5 out of 12 bits, that is, almost 10%, and this difference is very noticeable when shooting portraits: due to the loss of subtle transitions of skin tones, faces look “plasticine”.
Of course, this only applies to raw. If you shoot in jpg, you will not be able to distinguish successful images (in the sense with a correctly defined camera exposure and white balance) from the D80 and D200.
As a result, after processing the ravine in Photoshop or Capture NX, a picture with the D100 surpasses the picture of any amateur device (at ISO up to 400 - but higher than 400 you will not get a normal picture on any Nikon camera, only Canon 5D and 1D Mark II, III here).
In fact, pictures with Nikon D100 and D2x differ only in detail, that is, color reproduction, sharpness, dynamic range of the D100 - a professional camera. I can say the same about the interface with ergonomics: the convenience of the case, buttons and menu settings of the D100 are on top.
By the way, the working life of the D100 is more than 2 times that of the D3x, which is probably due to not worse build quality and lower speed. The only useful feature in the D80 that the D100 doesn't have is wireless flash control. All other features of the D80 to a normal person who knows how to process files will never come in handy.
However, if you use only budget class lenses, such as Sogma 18-55 for $ 100, then neither the D2x, nor the D100, nor the D200 will be different from the D40x. The only difference is that the former will at least be able to precisely focus on the object.
Weaknesses: speed
Commentary: Despite the fact that the Nikon D100 is Nikon's very first semi-professional digital camera, it surpasses all modern amateur and most semi-professional cameras in most characteristics. Ideal ergonomics and light weight (unlike analogs from Canon and Minolta), large and bright viewfinder (not worse than only in Nikon D200, Canon 5D, Sony Alpha 100 and professional cameras). The main difference in ergonomics is a very convenient arrangement and functionality of the buttons and the presence of all necessary for a professional device and the absence of unnecessary options in the menu and buttons (for example, the direct print button, which is mandatory for Canon).
Among other things, this is the only semi-professional device for which there is a battery handle that allows you to use not only 2 EN-EL3 batteries (EN-EL3a, EN-EL3e) or 6 AA batteries, but also 6 SR-123 batteries (like the Nikon F80, F100, F6).
The D100 is the only Japanese-made semi-professional camera in the world. It is not surprising that it turned out to be the most reliable in its class, for 5 years there have been no cases of factory defects or breakdowns during operation. I personally saw a perfectly working Nikon D100 with a range of 500 thousand frames, it is still alive today. For example, the D70 shutter lives a maximum of 80 thousand frames, and in most cases breaks by 30 thousand, the same applies to all amateur and semi-professional Canon 300D, 350D, 20D, 30D, 5D cameras.
The Nikon D100 has a professional full-frame shutter with a two-curtain system, which is the most reliable in the world and allows you to achieve absolute shutter accuracy.
The Nikon D100 has 6 megapixels, not 8 or 10, as in modern amateur cameras, but in terms of color rendition in highlights, it significantly surpasses them. I compared the D100 with the D200, the picture of which is incomparably better than that of any Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Sony amateur camera in all respects. The D100's picture is even sharper than that of the D200, so if you interpolate the 6 megapixels of the D100 from the raw file to 12 megapixels, the picture is in no way inferior in sharpness, and surpasses the D200 in color rendering at ISO 320-200. The only semi-professional device that surpasses the D100 in image quality is Fujifilm S3 Pro.
In conclusion, I want to recommend all lovers a closer look at the Nikon D100. If you are not faced with the task of repetitive, wedding or sports shooting, requiring a constant speed of more than 3 frames per second, or tasks requiring an ISO of more than 400, the D100 will be an order of magnitude better than any modern amateur apparatus

I respect the d100, and I agree on the issue of the progress / degradation of cameras. But let's be honest: his steering wheel is a quiet horror, and does not go into any frame compared to the well-thought-out system in the d70 and beyond. As for the d80, you are wrong, because even in the RAW format the d80 easily takes 6 frames in a series, please indicate the exact data and do not mislead people. Everything else, too, with a pitchfork on the water, because similar comments were written 10 years ago :)

D100 as a professional model, has a battery handle.
Multifunctional Battery Charger MB-D100
One or two rechargeable Li-ion EN-EL100 batteries, or six 3 V LR1.5 batteries (size AA) can be installed in the MB-D6 battery pen to increase the shooting or viewing time. In addition, the handle is equipped with a shutter-release button, main and auxiliary control dials for the convenience of working with vertical-format frames. A microphone integrated in the handle provides the ability to add sound memos when viewing photos. MB-D100 also has a ten-pin connector for connecting additional equipment (remote control).

Sorry Oleg, in your words it smells of unhealthy fanaticism, I agree with Arkady that the DSLRs have 6 sensor matrices, you need to choose live from the same list and use the 100th camera I agree with Arkady, it’s not convenient to operate. Regarding the shutter, this is generally joke. I think everyone knows that this is a card game, whoever is lucky, I know people who use a shutter of 1000000 or more on amateur mirrors, and sometimes they die on professional ones. In general, do not fool people with their heads, I agree with Arkady that 70 km, even 40 is more convenient to operate.

I would like to clarify about the D-100: I have it, then the question is in using the D100 compactflash card, namely: up to how many GB (sees) the fotik? what cards can i use?

Arkady is undoubtedly right that the camera is morally outdated. But at the present time, relatively cheap. With good light, a good lens, and in “good hands,” the pictures are very good. On prints 15 * 20 you will not see the difference with much more modern and expensive devices. In any case, the differences will be so small that you can be confused with which camera was taken. But the color can pleasantly please those who know its "taste". The camera is really very reliable and durable. For me it is not very comfortable in the hand (relative to others). 4 gig memory cards are very slow, and 1 gig works great. Only RAW and only him !!!! Developing in ViewNX2 is quite normal. The family is like a cat, from which there is "no sense", but everyone loves and everyone uses. Who cares, a few photos here https://yadi.sk/d/GB369xnhVoDJo you can see. Everything is in RAW format and you can play with the development. In any case, the idea of the camera will be somewhat closer ...

To Fix:
"ISO 100 will allow you to work at faster shutter speeds"
- in this case, ISO 100 allows you to work at slower shutter speeds, or with a wider aperture.

From my personal experience using the D100, I can add that the most suitable for him is a close-up view, as well as a portrait. In landscape and architectural photography, the multi-pixel novelties of the D7100 type are far more interesting. Below is an example of a portrait with a relatively inexpensive Samyang 85 F1.4

Are you satisfied that the faces of the people you shoot (like other objects) are often in the dark?
Reply
Those objects that were shot against the sun turned out to be not entirely successful. Thinking with more expensive lenses would be much better without extra processing
Reply
Is it because of the expensive (higher quality) lenses? The point is the lack of light. There are many options for solving this problem, ranging from “puff on the forehead”.
Reply
Puff in the forehead is not an option. Mostly try to pull the light in RAW. IMHO with a fast lens would be better
Reply
Valeriy said good advice - drawing shadows from RAW is not the best option, even if there is no noise, the color will be wrong. During the day, puffing on the forehead will highlight the shadows, make them softer, the color will definitely be better, the face will not become flat, because there is the sun - the first source of light. Set the external flash to TTL and adjust the compensation -0,3 -0,7, use the diffuser on the flash. This is the simplest thing to do to improve daytime photos in bright sun.

The best photos are with natural light. Who does not care - he is not looking. Why then bring up the topic of chiaroscuro, if it's all the same? And let the advisers learn! Flash them, and even in the forehead - full of such rubbish on the Internet - no one needs, and you too. Not fun to watch. Think, and do not suffer from nonsense.

What difference is aperture or not? Learn to shoot, and then you will talk about the difference.

And the professionals gathered here because they bought DSLRs, because now they are professionals, because without DSLRs it sucks, the lowest grade, and in general, "I'm now oooh" and you ... No DSLR? Don't ... you are nobody.
Why? Because it’s not the camera, but the brain. The camera is just a tool.

cameras in modern phones even have 16Mpixels and higher. the lens is fixed, and not some kind of zoom in the whale reflex. and a flash is present at the same time. and if your hands grow from the right photographic location, it’s enough to get high-quality photos (only Arkady will probably notice that they are made by phone, and even that is not a fact)

Of the minuses: yes, there is not enough light, there were misses with focus, five focus points, after 11 on the other hand, the D90 does not immediately get used to
Unfortunately, the model I got was not in very good condition, but after a couple of weeks of restoration it worked no worse than modern ones, and this is due to the fact that at the moment it is over 10 years old!

I would like to clarify about the D-100: I have it, then the question is in using the D100 compactflash card, namely: up to how many GB (sees) the fotik? what cards can i use? (like 133x, 166x, ... .. 60 mb / s, ultra II, some other? maybe I'm asking the wrong questions, excuse me, I'm still a kettle in these matters.

Which one to buy specifically with a face value of several gigabytes.?

Who cares !! Recently, a package arrived from China with adapters from PC to SD cards. It costs about $ 7. NIKON D100 has a PC memory card. these sticks are difficult to find and are expensive. I bought this device…. and beauty. launched an adapter with an SD card at 16GB speed 4. I went to the fotik. I am glad. now there are no problems with memory. True, I did not try with 10 speed. Maybe someone tested it? unsubscribe…. Good luck to all.

Hello! Please tell me about the compatibility of batteries for 100, I read on Arcadia's blogs that from d100 they are also suitable for d200, etc. uh, but not vice versa? If not difficult, describe in more detail! Thank you in advance!

On the contrary. From newer ones with a chip, they are suitable for d100, d70, d70s, d50. But from them they are not suitable for d200, d80, d90, d300, d300s, d700.

Great article update. I have such a camera, it has its own special color rendition. This may be interesting. Great new pictures! With good optics, the high potential of this device is visible. However, shooting people at him is not easy. a very small frame buffer.

Tell me, which battery is used, suitable for this camera? In the manual: EN-EL1 or 6-volt lithium batteries 2CR5 (DL245), according to other EN-EL3? Where is the truth?

the Nikon D100 uses the same battery as the Nikon D70, D70s, D50. Also, in the Nikon D100, you can use the battery from the D80, D90, D200, D300, D300s, D700 (but not vice versa).
fit Nikon EN-EL3e and Nikon EN-EL3
