During a recent trip to Vail, Colorado, I had the opportunity to test Nikon's much talked about new D100 SLR digital camera. Braving the dust of an off-road excursion into the Rocky Mountains and the heat of the June sun while exploring a local ranch, I put the camera through its paces. The D100, a prosumer camera with a street price of $1,999 and 6.1 effective megapixels resolution, is a serious camera for about half the price of a D1x SLR body. "We developed the D100 in response to the high level of interest among photographers looking for a camera with advanced digital competence and high image-quality in an intuitive SLR design," explained Richard LoPinto, vice president for SLR Camera Systems, Nikon Inc.
