Hi Alexander. So you think the F100 launch was hurried. Well i think so too. But I think saying that the EOS3 is better than the F100 is just not right. The F100 was designed as a real working machinewhich can take a lot of abuse. It's a real pro camera. Its got advanced features, better than some of the F5's features. I believe Nikon's primary concern is to come up with reliable equipment which will get us that important photo, and not to dazzle us with a zillion whiz bang features. When the F90/N90 came out, it wasfollowed by the EOS5/A2E. The F90/N90 could only do something like 3.7 frames/sec. and the EOS5/A2E could do 5fps When the F90X/N90s came out,it could only do 4.3fps and 4.1fps with focus tracking. But Nikon made a point. "What use is a fast camera if you can't get all pictures sharp?" they asked. They claimed that the F90X/N90s could shoot all frames tack-sharp. In short Nikon designs for performance and practicality. happy shooting. Carlo _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
