That may be best. Surely you payed barely pocket
money for a quite older model. Alternately, as the
money it brings is small change, you can hang on
to it for a needy student or whatever, but do start
over for yourself.
Starting over, be sure the kit you buy has:
Body
Kit lens
Battery, or 2, or 3
Battery charger
Proper software for the exact model
USER MANUAL [full version, not "quick start"]
---------------------------------------------
Insist on at least a 16MP sensor. It's not just
a reasonable minimum, but it also means the
camera is not too exceedingly ancient.
Read a book on basic digital before you buy
anything else. Make sure the book is recent
cuz digital technology, and technique, change
verrrry fast. A 5 yr old book is OK for $2 at a
church sale, but you'l still need a better one.
Fact is you can get your D100 going for less
than $100 ... possibly a lot less, but you are
currently not prepared to correctly gather it
together, and forum folks trying [pretending]
to assist you in doing so tend to be far from
helpful or reliable :-(
Someone online will likely assure you that
about $200 will get you cooking. While they
might be proving or boasting of what a wise
bargain hunter they are, you personally are
at this time not ready to emulate them.
OTOH, under $500 you have many options
in terms of ready to use complete kits on
the used gear market.
Don't ignore the "darkroom" ... your PC. It
also needs a few bucks thrown at it. Your
reading assignment will explain that.

Thanks, Laydee
