Hi all,

I received the following information that gives some of the specifics 
about the long awaited F100. As I find out more I will let you know.

Nikon released the New F100 Professional camera body today.  I have
attached several images of the body so you can see how it looks.  It is
really sweet. I had a chance to handle it several times and it is
incredible.  The camera is scheduled to be delivered in January 1999.
The price has not been announced yet but I'm hearing GREAT things about
the possibilities.  It has all of the focus speed and accuracy of the
F5.

Direct from the Press Release:
The F100 is designed on the principles of the Professional Nikon Total
Imaging System, with control synergy that will make the F100 instantly
familiar and responsive in the hands of the world's Nikon shooting
professionals and discerning advanced amateurs. Complementing the F5,
with which it shares many superb Nikon innovations, the F100 adds and
import new dimension to the Nikon system.

Five-area AF System with Dynamic and Spot Autofocus
Focus Tracking with Lock-On
3D Multi- Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash
