Nikon D100 DSLR - old crop sensor semipro camera, but is it worth your money and time today?

I review in 2023 my first DSLR camera, a Nikon D100, that I bought in 2002 on my way on an expedition in Nepal. I was searching for some specific images in Darktable, my editing program, and stumbled upon the images from the Nikon D100. I found that I had to use these images for some purpose, and as I still own this camera, I decided to make a review of this old and now very cheap camera.

This was the camera no oen could afford. It was the dream of many. Love how Nikon's just work when you need them to.

[@key2adventure]

Yes that's so true. And it still gets my affection even today, so many years after 🙂

Thanks for this little review. And for showing your excellent photography, I really enjoy shooting my Nikon D70 which has a similar 6MP ccd sensor.

[@key2adventure]

Thanks for your comment 🙂

Excellent review of this early DSLR. Enjoyed seeing your beautiful images and hearing about your adventures in Nepall. Interesting to hear your thoughts of the unique quality of the CCD sensors. I have heard others say also the colour science was created at a time that these sensors were trying to replicate film colours.

Thanks for your comment 🙂 Glad you liked the review and the images.

I have 2 D100s, love the images out of them. I usually shoot at ISO 400, but ISO 800 looks okay too!

[@key2adventure]

Thanks for your comment. I usually shot low ISO, but when the subject or light requires it, I'm like you not afraid to use 400 or 800.

We should not neglect those older cams.

[@key2adventure]

Definitely agree to that, and there is a movement towards using CCD based older cameras, that are said to provide more analog film like images. Furthermore, it's good for the environment that not all of us want the newest tech.

Actually, fun fact, the Nikon D90 was the very first DSLR to shoot video!
Funner fact, I had a D90 and an XL2 and I still own both haha

обзор фотоаппарата древнего отличный! Я вижу этот Nikon D100 пол мира исколесил !!!

[@key2adventure]

Спасибо. Да, вы абсолютно правы, я купил его в Непале в 2002 году, и с тех пор он много раз путешествовал.

I just got mine mint condition 340 actuators. If this camera shot professional photographs in 2003, it can take pro photos in 2024! Its the photographer that counts sick of all the gear hogs who spend more time foundling cameras than taking pictures! Lol😂

[@key2adventure959]

Exactly, thats why I make these videos on old cameras. You can make great images with seemingly outdated equipment

D780 the last DSLR produced by Nikon

The Nikon D100 shoots 3,008 x 2,000 pixel images. If your D100 creates 2,000 pixel wide images you don't have it set at maximum resolution.
You spent $2,000 and did not bother to set it to get the best images?

[@key2adventure]

In the video I said my images were 2000 by 3000 pixels (I rounded the 3008 down to 3000), so it's exactly the resolution you mention.
