Great info Neil , I Just bought my D100 this year off C.L. and had it recalibrated.
Great camera for most situations and for learning with. No preset or Auto setting force you to learn the old fashion way. Images hold good color and shapeness.

You help answer a few questtions I was wondering about with the settings , thanks.

You need the f2.8 zooms, or faster prime lenses.

What apertures would you recommend on the lense would you recommend in that situation?

Misty, this is the point where you have to have wider apertures on your lenses, and a camera with which you are comfortable pushing to high ISO settings.

There’s no other way around it.

I need suggestions for taking sports pictures. I enjoying photographing high school football games but as it starts to get dark, I have trouble getting good shots. What settings should I use for very low light, action shots?

Seba,it has little to do with the camera's configuration. The key here would be to: - shoot in manual exposure mode, so that - you control your exposure metering. - shoot in RAW format, Neil vN

Steve ... I don't quite understand the problem you're describing. Join us on the Tangents forum, and upload a typical image so that we can see, and decipher where the problem is. Neil vN

Great for those who don’t have the time to read the manual as it’s hard to remember all this stuff and play with the camera at the same time. I’m 63 now and made some great shots with my D100 but the only thing that reaally gripes me is the shutter lag.When I press the shutter realease I expect it to fire now not 1 second later. I’ve missed some action shots with this camera because of this. I was once shooting a rattlesnake that was coiled up and by the time the camera fired ,the damn thing had struck. Of course they are lightning fast but you know.I finally got smart and got a D2Xs and gave my D100 to our daughter and now she is asking me the same questions as I had 6 years ago but I forgot the answeres so she is into the book. My D2xs is (to me) the king of all cameras and it does just what it is suposed to and built like a tank just like my F2s and F4e.,,,,,,,,Thanks very much for the info.,,,,,,,,,,,Roy
