I have just received my F100 from my supplier and boy, what a piece of hardware. Besides the excellent performance it is ergonomically a superb camera for my hands. IMHO some real plusses (in terms of ergonomics) are: 1. The grip and handling, ? as good as the F5 - for me better than the F90x. 2. The position of the DOF button - it is exactly under your forefinger if you hold the camera normally 3. The Main Command dial - in the perfect position 4. The AE lock button You don't have to keep it depressed if you use Custom Function 21 set at 3 (NB the mistake in the manual regarding AF lock!) 5. Custom function 6 - allows you to "scroll" through AF sensors. 6. The highlighted active sensor. 7. The feel of the shutter release button The only things I don't like are the neck strap (surely if you are paying that much for a body, Nikon can afford a wide strap, especially considering the weight), the fact that the MB-15 is not available (at least here in SA), the instruction manual it comes with. Since this is a "pro" camera, surely the manual could be more detailed in terms of flash, lenses etc. and have less on the basic operation (30 pages). Just my humble opinions. Sigo
