The D100 is a very capable camera and will offer you an excellent platform for your shooting for long time. Nikon, like all the camera manufactures have made giant strides in technology in the last few years. It's an old technology but still a nice camera.

The 70-300mm lens is good, but you're going to need something a bit more wide angle as well. The CF card is pretty small too. With the prices they're at now, a 4gig is pretty cheap!

If you can afford it and it works, go for it!!

Ebay...the bid is at $410. I wouldn't bid more than $500.
