I believe that the Nikon D100 can use existing lenses with the caveat
that effective focal lengths must be divided by the ccd/film format size
ratio. As for the complexity of digital equipment, however, you can just
ignore the features you don't want.

....I have no doubt that for many people that is true, but, is also true
that for many of us, we will continue to shoot film. Especially when you
consider that for many decades millions of film cameras have been sold
(somewhere I read that photography is the #1 hobby, worldwide) annualy.
it
makes no sense to think that all those people are getting ready to throw
their Nikons, Hassleblads, Leicas or whatever in the dumpster so they
can
shoot with digicams that become obsolete about every year. I will be
continueing to shoot film for many years with simple Leica Ms because
that
simplicity to not having to think about various program modes is
liberating
for me to be able to think about the picture and NOT the mechanics of
taking
the picture.
