re: Vol.4 #203 George, I can't buy into this from your dealer! First of all the F-100 hasn't the features of the F5. Secondly, it does not have the RGB meter. This alone makes the F5 viable for at least 5 years. The F-100 is an unknown entity; it hasn't been market proven. The F5 cut it's teeth a long time ago and the bugs are gone. As conservative as Nikon has been for the past 30 years that I've been buying from them; I'll speculate that they don't discontinue the F5 for at least 5 years. Hell they haven't even made all the lenses S for silent, yet! My 2 cents for what it's worth.

He, also the owner, said he was told by Nikon that the F100 might be cut significantly into the F5 sales. He also was told that Nikon may not keep the F5 around much longer.
