The speculation is over, Nikon dealers in Europe (and Asia?) have now
the brochures of the F100. Please, contact your dealer. I don't have my
copy yet. I was just having a phone conversation with my dealer.
The F100 sounds like:
+ upgrade from F90X (not from F70)
+ the looks of an F5
+ AF sensors like in F5
+ magnesium parts in body (only 30g heavier than F90X)
+ rubber coating like in F5
+ better shielding/proofing with O-rings
+ matrix metering with 10 fields
- NO RGB metering
+ takes six AA batteries (?)
+ 5 frames/sec
+ 22 user settings (?)
- 96% viewfinder (NOT 100%)
- NO mirror lock-up

Sales start End-Jan-99 in Finland at ca. USD2300 including vertical
grip.
