1. The D100 is all plastic. The *istD has a stainless steel chassis and is therefore more rigid. Rigidity particularly in a digital camera is very good. 2. The viewfinders are on different planets. 3. The D100 is huge. The *istD isn't. 4. A PC terminal is a good thing. The *istD has one, the D100 don't. 5. Eleven AF sensors, 9 of which are cross, make the *istD focus smarter, not to mention its faster AF speed too. 6. Multiple exposure is an option on the*ist D. 7. Nifty power options make it more attractive 8. White balance controls and options are much friendlier 9. Oh yeah, it even meters with some manual focus lenses.
