Non CPU AF lenses can be used, manual AI, AIS, Series E lenses can be used but will not couple with meter! As per D100 manual

To Ronpier. How did you find this thread????

Sometimes we just need to see where we came from in order to see where we are going.

That's the best you've got for this?

I didn't ask why. I asked how? Did you do a search for old threads?

This question goes back to Jan 2013. Is the OP still seeking advice? 🤣

Yes, Use the search function in the header and type in D100 or anything else of interest. If it was posted in UHH it will be there.

What else were you expecting from an old thread? There is a lot of interest in the older DSLRs. Nothing wrong with resurrecting old posts.

Is the D100 a good camera to buy for a beginner? I have an original owner with a D100 in perfect condition with a Sigma 28-105D lens, battery and charger. Is even throwing in a 4GB Lexar Compact flash card all for $195. Now I realize this camera is old technology, 10 years old, but one has to start somewhere. I have never seen or held a D100 so any comments are more than welcome.

Thanks People

CHG_Canon is right. The camera is completely obsolete and the price is too high for what you would be getting. The beginner would get better photos with a phone, so rather than encouraging the beginner to advance in photography the camera would be a setback from what he or she already has.

Agreed that the price was too high but IMHO these older cameras do not represent a setback for a beginner to advance in photography. Not everyone has deep pockets and much experience can be gained thru using them. They represent a lot of value for the money spent.

Indeed a high end old camera is better for beginner to learn than the low end current model.

But, look at how you're wasting your time and the community's. The camera is now 15+ years old. The thread is more than 11 years old. And the OP hasn't participated with the community since May 2021. There's no worth to this discussion to anyone.

Of course in many cases. Not everyone can handle a learning curve from high end old or new cameras or (even wants to.)

A high end camera regardless how old would have all the basic controls. The newer low end would have lots of bells and whistles but may omit some basic controls like having 1 controls for both aperture and shutter speed.

You are always entitled to your opinion but you cannot determine who is wasting your time for everyone else. If the thread does not meet your high standards maybe you need to do some self evaluation or to just not respond. Your opinion is respected on this site but you are not always respectful of others. Also a way to attract new subscribers.
