Hi Folks,

I would like to forward the following newsletter I have gotten this morning
from my local Nikon dealer to you all. The translation of the main features
in English:

- looks like a F5 without the bottom bulge which contains the energy supply
- you can add the grip MB-15 to make the F100 as handy as the F5
- no interchangeable viewfinders
- same AF technique as F5
- 3D matrix metering with 10 sensors
- 3D multisensor flashmetering
- very very robust (hopefully like F2, F3, F4 and F5)
- 22 individual modes
- 4,5 fps
- will be sold in 2/99

and... yes! You "just" have to pay DM 2599,- for this splendid tool, DM
2899,- (about $ 1750,-) for the "professional" version including the
vertical grip which would be as useful as the MB-10 grip for the F90x.

I think the speculations come to an end now and I suspect this camera will
become a super seller. I´m just checking my bank account... this camera
would be a great addition to my F2, FM2 and F90x ;-)

Hope this is a useful information for all listers out there; so long and
best wishes right out of the snow from the Baltic Sea! I think I will go out
this afternoon looking for some geese and other winter guests down at the
lake and who maybe feel like beeing photographed by a freezing Nikoneer...

P.S.: Be aware of the new AF-Nikkor 3.5-4.5/28-105 D IF sold for DM 700,- !!

+++ eos 3 konkurrenz: neue nikon f-100 +++  [...]

Nikons Antwort auf die Canon EOS 3 heisst F100

Tja, da ist sie nun also und sieht aus wie eine F5, der man die Beine
weggehauen hat: Die Nikon F100, abgespeckte kleine Schwester der Nikon F5.
Ihr fehlt die F5-typische, stromversorgungsenthaltende Wulst nach unten, die
die F5 so handlich macht. Diesen Schrumpfungsprozess kann man durch den
Handgriff MB-15 weitgehend wieder umkehren! Und baruchen Sie einen
Wechselsucher?
Ansonsten: AF-Technik aus der F5, 3D-Matrixmessung mit 10 Meßfeldern und
3D-Multisensor-Blitztechnik, superrobust, 22 Individualfunktionen, 4,5
Bilder/s; und das alles für nur... Na?
(Gehäuse 2599,-- DM; mit Handgriff MB15 als F100 Professional 2899,-- DM;
aber erst ab 2/99)

Ach ja, es kommt auch noch ein AF-Nikkor 3.5-4.5/28-105 D IF für 700
Kracher...
