While it doesn’t have a bajillion AF points, (it has 5), I know of no DSLR that is more accurate. (my opinion) And the autofocus is spot on. You know,…those stupid lenses with no aperture rings. When it comes to the nuts and bolts of any camera, (the lenses), it’s still compatible with most Nikkor lenses, including Nikon’s G lenses. Almost like they could see into the future in 1999! Including grip dials and the PASM modes found on all high end Nikon DSLR’s. What’s cool about the controls is they’re almost an exact match to Nikon’s DSLR’s. Well, the Nikon D3 and D4 are close,…but certainly not my Nikon D810. The body is mostly magnesium.I doubt there is a digital camera out there that feels as solid. One of the main considerations that elevate this camera is simple “bang for the buck”. And if you go back and forth between film and digital, I could not imagine a smoother transition camera. In fact, it’s probably much closer to a Nikon F6 than an F5! While Canon made a directly competing model, (Canon EOS 3), it was really only the Nikon that has stood the test of time. And sometimes more! Plus, it was much lighter. However, whatever the F5 could do, this “baby F5” could do. In 1999 the F100 was considered a prosumer Nikon F5. While there are lots of awesome 35mm film cameras out there, one camera that has almost the cult following of a Leica, yet is probably closer to any modern DSLR offering,…is the Nikon F100.
