I dont try to comparate both machines, but I have a couple of questions about what I´ve got in my F601 and I don´t undestand why my F5 hasn't. 1.- When using flash (built in or SB 26), F601 tells you if the background is going to be under or overexposed, indicating how much it is going to be. I consider this important, but it doesn´t work in my F5. Is this right or is my F5 working wrong. 2.- When using shutter speed lower than the focal distance (eg 1/60 when using 85 mm zoom) F601 shows the sutter speed blinking warning such a situation, but F5 doesn´t warn any thing. Is this right for F5, os is something wrong? Is I am right, does anybody know why F5 doesn´t have these features, specially the first one? I used F601 with sigma 28-200 and Sb26, and now I use F5 with 24-120 (although I keep my old gear). Can any one of you owning a F5 check this form me and feel free to email me. Thanks a lot in advance. Javier López [EMAIL PROTECTED]
