The Nikon D100 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.
