As a serious amateur (means limited budget), the D100 was chosen for several reasons. 1. It would take all my Nikon lenses and resembled the layout and feel of my F80 (N80). 2. It is compatible with my SB28DX flash and has a cable release on the shutter button. 3. It has been out long enough (post Nikon D70) to have come down in price, and many are available second hand. 4. It has USB for down loading, and produces excellent 8 by 10's on my inexpensive ink jet printer. 5.

The Nikon Viewer software is very user friendly, and links to Adobe Photoshop. 6. It produces RAW (NEF) files (nearly 10Mb!) and they make fabulous 11 by 17's at the commmercial labs. 7. Yes, it is heavier than my Sony DSCV1, but it is worth it. All in all I am very satisfied: compared to film...instant gratification!
