I went in and read the specs on the new F100. Rather impressive, I'd say. This camera is going to be a popular choice and I suspect win new converts to Nikon. B&H forcasts having the camera in February and my telephone contact speculated that the initial price could be in the high 1000 to 2000 USD range untill things cool off just like they did for the F5. My question is - does anyone know if there will be the same option for the Ni-MN battery pack (as with the F5) and which can hopefully be recharged using the same unit as for the F5??? Could Nikon actually be so altruistic as to have designed such a thing??? ---------------------------------------- Craig A. Whitney Horicon PhotoWorks Mayville, Wisconsin, USA
