Backup camera, D100?

[Nikolai]

Looking at a backup camera to my S3, what does everyone think of the D100? Looking to buy one with the MB-100 as well. Any comments/suggestions greatly appreciated.

What is your budget? What do you shoot? The D100 is a very noisy camera in mid to lower light...I think I'd go with a D70 before the D100 personally. My partner used to have a D100, D200 and D2X...I had the D70. The D70 images were superior to the D100. Not that it was a bad camera.. it is just pretty dated technology.

Less than a thousand. I didn't know it was that noisy. I guess I'll look at the D70s and up.

I too vote for a D70, or even better, a D80 (it takes SD cards, tho).

If you do get a D100, don't pay more than $350 for it. But I would recommend something a little newer as well.

I'd personally stretch my $1k a little and get a D200 given the budget. Or, find one used within budget. Excellent camera and worth ever penny over 1K.
