Hi James.
To clarify things, the CPU thing came from the Nikon F5
brochure and the absence of the CPU info in the F100
brochure. The EOS 3 CPU info came from Petersen's
PHOTOgraphic.
Why did Nikon inclde this info in the F5 brochure and
not in the F100 brochure? Though this may seem trivial
, I think Nikon users would like to know how Nikon has
improved the quality of their products.
Another thing, I would like to face a Canon rep and be
able to justify my choice. Remember, the EOS5/A2E
could do 5fps, Nikon said, what good is it if it can't
take 100% sharp pictures. The F90X/N90s might only do
4.1fps, but you get all tack sharp photos.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Canon is putting
more technical data in their brochures now. Would it
hurt to put more technical data in Nikon brochures?
The F5 has three 16-bit, one 8-bit, and one 4-bit CPUs
and it still performs faster than the EOS 3 which has
three CPUs including a 32-bit RISC microprocessor. So
what does the F100 have? Just curious.
Happy shooting.
Carlo
