My old and trusty D100.

I bought my first DSLR D100 in yr 2003.Somewhere in Feb,I think.During that time,D100 is the hot intermediate DSLR around.It cost around $2.7k for the body only.And I bought it together with Tamron 17-35 f/2.8-4,Sb28DX flash,Crumpler Bag and some other stuffs.Got lots of boses and big bags.Is my new toy! So excited.

I came across photogrpahy after I got my first digital camera,Nikon coolpix 885.Its a 3.2MP cam.Lots of limitations,lots of noise.The manual that came with it became my first photography manual.Its torn and worn.It contains lots of useful information about learning how to shoot and stuffs.Its a great manual!

Anyway,about my D100.I bought the battery pack subsequently and it provides roughly about 800+ shots from the 2 batts.
