I'll include the Canon EOS 1V for good measure. I mean really, with miniaturization of everything computerized, there is no excuse why this can't be done. The only reason I can think of is the manufacturers' desire that we all buy new digital cameras. The F5 is a computerized platform pretty much ready to go. No lcd for review, that would just add weight. Just a simple back for capturing images on one or two media cards, chimping to be left for the computer. I know there are a lot of people out there who think the F5 was the best 35mm camera ever created and Nikon has not been the same since they reached that pinnacle. If the F5 could be used as a high quality digital camera, there are a lot of people who would go back to using it. my $.02 PhilFo
