I bought a Nikon D100 about a year and a half ago (the D70's older brother) and am very satsified with it. From what I can tell, it is very much the same camera. It even survived a tumbling roll down the grand tetons while attached to me (another story), and all it sustained was a bit of grit in the zoom rings of the lens, and a broken UV filter (that's what they are there for, right?).

At any rate, while the Nikon CCD chips may not be the quality of the Canon's, this camera will not disappoint you. My lens of choice is the 24-120mm vibration reduction. Awesome lens/camera duo.

Just remember, with most DSLR's you don't get the true focal length of the lens. Usually a 1.5x conversion is used (i.e. 100mm lens = 150mm operational)
