Digital BW, The Print

Bob-

Never called the F100 cheap or amateurish.  Too bad Nikon didn't use F100
bodies for the D100. I used my F100 more in Kosovo, than my F5.  Less
finicky in weird weather. Delta Airlines smashed the hinge off a Pelican
case, no less, cracking the F5 display.  The F100 was unscathed.

The N80/D100 is cheap, but suits many needs adequately.  Just lacks
professional features.  I was going to buy a D100 as a third body to the
D1's, but was warned off at the camera store. But, I don't shoot in a
studio.

=>  I wouldn't buy a D100 because it's built on a cheap, amateur body 
=> with amateur-type features I can't work with.  No other reason. Okay 
=> for those that can get by that way.
