Nikon F100 35mm Film Camera

Pros: Solid, fast, easy to hold for long periods of time.
Cons: ERR on first picture of each day. Depth of field preview button fell out.

I purchased my Nikon F100 camera new, four years ago, when it was first introduced.. It was a decision of buying the Nikon F5 or the Nikon F100 mostly based on price, size, and weight. The Nikon F100 is one enjoyable camera with fast/solid response and ...

Pros: Responsive, control placement, features, metering
Cons: Autofocus loses subject at times, metering not good in extreme light conditions

I purchased the Nikon F100 after I improved greatly in photography. My first SLR camera was a Minolta XTsi with two lenses. They were slow to focus and sometimes I had trouble getting the shots that I wanted. The viewfinder was dark, and the camera ...

Pros: Outstanding Features, Lighter than the F5, excellent metering and AF systems
Cons: It's not the F5. Other than that, NONE!

This is another of the exceptionally well designed and thought out cameras provided to photographers by Nikon. It is a very capable camera that takes advantage of Nikon's years of experience, exceptional quality lenses, the world famous "F" lens mount ...

Pros: Affordable, professional, lightweight, quiet and full featured.
Cons: I cannot find a complaint after 4 years of professional use.

Nikon has been building great cameras for years but they have really outdone themselves with the F100. It is sturdy, quiet, light and it fits into my hand like it belongs there. I have added the MB-15 battery pack which has improved the handling and feel...

Pros: Solid construction, fast motors, great shape/size, it's a Nikon!
Cons: No date stamp feature standard, no cheap if your not a pro.

I got the F100 along with the SB28 as a fathers day present, it is far more camera than IÕll ever need as I was using a Canon Sureshot before I got it. I have learned a great deal about itÕs features and can say that as a true amateur, I find this a...

Pros: Pro Camera all the way
Cons: Mirror Lock Manual Rewind option

Overall, an outstanding camera with amazing AF precision equipped with the Nikon 24-85mm.

The camera has a great AE that, so far, has been right on the money 100% of the time. In my case I use do a lot of close up and foreground exposure is...

Pros: Super-fast (re)focus tracking, sturdy magnesium alloy framing, Professional quality photos.
Cons: A little heavy, and usually a bit expensive, and a lack of a vertical grip.

When I bought my F100, I was making a switch over from a (really old) Nikon FE that I had been shooting with for several years. Since, at the time, I worked in a camera shop and had to chance to play with it on a daily basis, I had the chance to place...

Pros: Very study, relatively quiet, competitive feature set, an excellent auto-focus system, and feature customization.
Cons: Not as configurable as the F5

The Nikon F100 is, without doubt, a professional level camera. It's ruggedly built, not too heavy, well sized, and very reliable. It's certainly a much closer relative to the F5 than the N90s/F90x, and is comparable to the EOS 3 in the Canon line-up....

Pros: Light yet rugged and robust, loads of features for serious amateurs & pros
Cons: After 2 yrs, I'm still trying to find a good one, worthy for mention.

**First Impression on Features, Handling and Operations**
The Nikon F100 is an incredible camera! It is rugged, but light (about the same in weight as the N90s, yet thinner). It’s very comfortable to hold, much better than the N90s, in terms of...

Pros: Rugged design, amazing metering, focus tracking, accurate shutter. F5-lite.
Cons: No built in eye piece blind. No mirror lock up.

I've used Minolta, Canon and Nikon cameras since 1975. I finally settled on Nikon because they kept the lens mount compatible with all earlier lens, and as time went on, they had the features and ruggedness I desired. Minolta and Canon make fine...

Pros: Fast and sure auto focus, metering accuracy, takes AA batteries, overall build quality, chunky grip.
Cons: Auto exposure/focus lock button hard to get at while looking through camera.

When someone is in the market for a 35mm SLR of the F100's price bracket, they expect a lot. They have a right to, as it costs nearly £900 here in my native England. These demanding snappers want build quality, reliability and exposure accuracy to...

Pros: Pro features and build at a semi-pro price.
Cons: The price is a little high.

This is my new favorite camera. I have the F5, FM2N, F3 and F100 and I prefer the F100 over all of them.
Shooting pictures of my daughter requires a very fast, automatic camera. This camera can be set to fully auto, so you can shoot in a split...

Pros: Features, Speed of unit, Balance of unit.
Cons: No mirror lockup. Could be $200 less.

There a lot of recommendations on the F100, so I’ll try not to focus too much on what other people have said. Instead, I’ll discuss the camera and bring in some of the similarities and differences between the F100 and the N80, N90.

Before my...

Pros: 95% of the performance of the F5 for half the cost.
Cons: $1100 bucks is still a lot of money

The F100 is as close to a perfect 35mm SLR as currently exists. Yes, it will be too heavy and too complicated, and too expensive for the average tourist but so what. All in all it is not THAT heavy, or THAT complicated, or even THAT expensive (yes, this...

Pros: Updated features
Cons: Film door feel

If nothing else Nikon has learned the importance of constantly re-engineering their products. The benefits from these efforts are showing up even in the less expensive offering in the Nikon line. The F100 is the beneficiary of this wealth of technology...
