The is a discontinued
Digital SLR camera designed for professionals and advanced hobbyists. It was introduced on
February 21 ,
2002 at the
PMA Annual Convention And Trade Show as a direct competitor to the
Canon EOS D60 . With an
MSRP of $1,999 without a lens, it was only the second 6 Megapixel DSLR to break the $2000 barrier, after the Canon EOS D60.
Although the name D100 suggests that the camera is a digital version of the
Nikon F100 , the camera design more closely resembles the
Nikon F80 (also known as Nikon N80 in
U.S. ), which is a much more consumer-oriented camera than the professional F100. The price of the camera dropped over time to $1699 in May 2003, and $1499 in December 2003. In the Spring of 2004 Nikon released the
D70 , which offered similar features to the D100 at a lower price of $999. However, Nikon continued to produce the D100 until 2005 when a more rugged and professional-oriented successor, the
Nikon D200 , was released.

Firmware v2.0 is required for body to recognize cards/drives larger than 2 GB, and cards/drives must be initially formatted as FAT32 in a computer. (Early v1.x firmware supported FAT16 only, so without the firmware upgrade the D100 will only "see" 2 GB of available memory on larger cards.)

Features voice memo recording/playback function, vertical shutter release button, Command and Sub Command Dials, AF start button and a 10-pin remote terminal.
