differences you know of, please of errors and additions.
Personal note: The reason I won't consider buying an F90X is
that multiple exposure is not handled unless you shell out extra to have
the MF-26 (?) back. I'll stick with my F801s (N8008s) until something better
comes along . Currently (July 1999) the F100 is slightly overkill for what
I need, maybe there's an F80 around the corner? I need the easy to use
multiple exposure for slide copying and internegging to get the pre-flash
before the exposure.
