Thanks for posting. Nikon make a great sales pitch about reducing noise,
and then forget to put a figure in the specifications against which we might
do some checks!

The specs seem almost identical to the F5......I really don't see anything
that warrants a new model.....Perhaps quieter, and perhaps better flash
control, but an F6?

I dont like the batery CR123A but Guess it has to have a fault.
I suspect all the digital people are asking Why.. have nikon done this
thought film was dead.
Gues ther is a market for the F6 .

They're bonkers.

But they did announce the D2X. Finally made the switch to CMOS - with
12.4 megapixels I don't think the CCD would cut it in terms of noise.
