The F4 is a perfect mix of old and new: program mode, matrix metering and AF if you need it, manual mode (with old-fashioned controls for old-fashioned photographers), spot meter, and compatibility with non-AI lenses if you want that. If anybody wants one camera that does everything and is utterly simple to use, the F4s has my unqualified recommendation. -Don
