piperspreviews's Full Review: Nikon F100 35mm Film Camera
Nikon has been building great cameras for years but they have really outdone themselves with the F100. It is sturdy, quiet, light and it fits into my hand like it belongs there. I have added the MB-15 battery pack which has improved the handling and feel of the camera even more. I have used it on weddings, portraits, landscapes, etc. but it really is in it's element when doing action photography. The camera has "Continuous Servo Auto Focus" for things like sports action but I find that my discards are less if I use the "Single Servo Auto Focus" with "Focus Priority" on this type of photography. I simply feather the auto focus "AF" button until I'm ready to release the shutter.
The camera has so many features that I am not going to try to comment on them all but only to say that if you want it it has it with the exception of the mirror lock up lever. The F100 is so smooth, however, that I would be shocked if you ever had a problem with camera shake due to the mirror movement.
The questions with this review asked me if I would recommend this camera to a friend and the answer is: I have and several have bought them.
