Now that the new F6 is out, would the F100 be no more? Or would there be
no more direct successor to the F100 (esp. given the F6's design)?

Also, would official support for another previous generation of F-series
cameras (esp. the F4-series) be discontinued (given Nikon's 10-year
spare parts policy)?


I suspect not--the F100 will continue to sell for ~$900, and the new F6 for
$2000, with the F5 being discontinued.

I don't believe there is a discontinuance of "official" support for Nikon
cameras, other than the spare parts policy you cite. For instance, Nikon
USA will service my Nikon F, but only if they can bring it up to 100%
factory specs. Which is to say, if it needs new parts, they won't work on
it, because there aren't any, and therefore they would be unable to bring it
up to 100% factory specs.
This I know from experience.
