Nikon dx1 vs Nikon d100
hello to all!
i am in the market to purchase a new slr camera. i started to look into the Nikon D50, D70 or D100 but came acrossed the Nikon Dx1 which i believe is an older model but more professional camera. I want to be able use this camera for weddings ect.. to start shooting wedding ect.. I want a really durable professional camera but not the professional price that can easily slip into the 1000's of dollars range. I've found the Nikon Dx1 camera for around 900 but found a Nikon d100 for 675.00! what is my best bet here?! what do you guys think i should go for! is there a big different in quality. would the D100 work well or should i go with the older camera DX1 that is a little more on the professional side? Thanks everyone and appreciate your help on my task to find the perfect camera! -- Message posted via http://www.photokb.com |

Check out the D200. The DX1 and D100 are discontinued models. The DX1 is a pro model, but the D100 is a "prosumer" model. |

Thanks everyone and appreciate your help on my task to find the perfect camera! Assuming you mean a D1x vs. a D100... the D1x wins hands down every time. -- Floyd L.

Check out the D200. The DX1 and D100 are discontinued models. The DX1 is a pro model, but the D100 is a "prosumer" model. And the D200 would cost at least twice the price mentioned. -- Floyd L.

Most D1x users have several batteries and keep one on charge at all times. These batteries are expensive. Andrew. |

Most D1x users have several batteries and keep one on charge at all times. These batteries are expensive. The EN-4 batteries used by the D1 series (including the D1x) run anywhere from $20 to $30 each. That does not seem "expensive" for a rechargable battery pack. The problem is not the expense of the normal batteries, but the cost of an external high capacity battery. For example, a Quantum Turbo, which is in fact expensive. For someone shooting a wedding or two per week it would certainly be worth the expense. For somebody doing one a month or every two month... probably not. -- Floyd L.

They cost a hell of a lot more than that last time I bought one, but OK. The problem is not the expense of the normal batteries, but the cost of an external high capacity battery. Well, the problem is the fact that the D1x needs a lot of power, one way or another. There are a number of ways to solve that problem. Andrew. |
