Just a couple of quick comments: I went to B&H this afternoon and bought an
F5, after selling my F4. I also looked at the F100 and the MB-15 grip.
Nice things about F100: Very light, fast AF, pretty quiet, nifty red AF
sensors in viewfinder, thumbwheel on MB-15 grip.
Not so nice things: No place to put pinky without the grip, no eyepiece
shutter, and the grip is "cheesy" for lack of a better word.
Conclusion: If you don't want the grip, the F100 is terrific on it's own. If
you want a grip, maybe the F5 is a better choice. If I had smaller hands, I
think I would have bought the F100. Nikon did a great job on the camera,
they really could have done a nicer job on the grip though.
B&H is selling the US version of the F5 with Nikon USA 3 year warranty for
$1900. That's the price with the $200 instant rebate, which is scheduled to
end 3/31/99.
