Only the best
(5 out of 5) by Ronald Nugent on Apr 24, 2006 (Pasadena, CA USA)Please, don't even go there with the comments of letidc. This is the last great film camera of our time. I have run thousands of frames through two of these cameras with very little problem. The F100 is as close as you can go to a Pro camera without the $3ooo.oo plus price tag. If your after a film camera, just buy this one, you won't be sorry.

Film Forever With Nikon F100
(5 out of 5) by Tom LePen on Jun 13, 2008 (Bronx, NY United States)Put simply, I'm a child of the 60's and all I ever knew was film.
I shot film over the past few decades using Minolta SLRs and a point and shoot.
Yea, I got a digital advanced point and shoot in 2007, yada, yada. To be honest, it's a boring way to do photography. I use the digital mostly for taking shots of items I sell on that auction site that begins with E. Otherwise I'd be a slave to Photoshop editing and manipulating hundreds of boring shots to make them look all fancy and unrealistic.
I want purity.
Being drawn to film because of it's superior print quality, I chose to upgrade my equipment and so bought a Nikon F100 with an SB28 Flash and 2 third party zoom lenses for a real bargain...a couple hundred bucks total. I think my old Minoltas are going to be gathering a bit of dust from now on!
I'll tell you this about the F100, it's not really for beginners. It is/was designed for professional photographers. It can be set up to be used as a giant Point and Shoot for those who are not so familiar with photographical techniques, but if you know your stuff and READ THE MANUAL, this is the BEST 35mm camera EVER for pros and serious amateurs alike.
There's so many features it's unbelievable. The camera just feels great in your hands. The autofocus options are both fantastic for whatever situation your in. I'd recommend the MB-15 battery pack/vertical grip. It makes a heavy camera a little heavier but having the ability to comfortably shoot vertically is priceless.
I can't bring myself to spend all the $$$$$$$$ on a DSLR system so I'll gladly take the bargain 35mm SLR deals and let other crazy people spend $$$$$$ on a toy that will bore them within a few months.
FILM FOREVER!! LONG LIVE FILM!

The Best camera!!
(5 out of 5) by Liselotte Frejdig on May 29, 2004 (Karlstad, Sweden)This is a truly masterpiece!! I've had the Nikon FE, FE2, F-601, F90s and now I have the F100 and it's the top of the line!!
What can I say more.. The only bad thing is that the camera back is made of plastic, why not metal, Nikon??
Greetings to all Nikonians around the world!!
The Best picture is waiting to be taken of You!! With the F100!!

Nikon F100 manual
(5 out of 5) by Roy S. Miller on Jun 5, 2007 (United States)This is another noncommittal review. The manual for this camera is not available at Nikon USA. You can get it at Nikon EU. Amazon apparently does not like including links in reviews so I will not include it here. The file is about 3.6 MB.
The manual for the Nikon F5 is also available at that site. ( I posted the link on my review for the F5 but I am not sure if Amazon will post the review because it has a link )
