Nikon F100 35mm Film Camera

Pros: Fast accurate Auto Focus, Compact size, Professional Quality
Cons: None at all

Pro and serious amateur photographers like to call the F100 the F5 “lite” or the “Baby” F5 but I think the F100 is a solid camera in its own right. The F100 was designed as a professional l camera with a truckload of features packed into...

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: focus dial, fast focus, lightweight
Cons: no complaints yet

i just recently purchased the F100 and i love it. it is very lightweight and easy to use. all the functions are similar to older versions of nikons with a few exceptions. those few are easily figured out in the manual that comes with it however. the...

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: Great body
Cons: no manual shutter release

We (my wife Bettina and myself) love photography since over 25 years and we did all our work in a traditional darkroom. Then 1981 we lost interest in working in that dark room (you ever smelled the Cibachrome chemistry?). On the other side photography...

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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...
