Large (built in vertical grip and battery pack)/Heaviest I think the F6 wins in every category except for viewfinder eyepoint, build quality (F5 may be slightly better) and removable finders (does anyone miss these?).ģD Color matrix meter with 1005-pixel RGB sensorĬolor matrix meter with 1005-pixel RGB sensor F6 versus F5 versus F100Here is a simple table comparing features that seem important to me. This is confirmed by an article on the Zeiss website that states that the focusing screens in Nikon D2, D3 series and F6 are well suited for manual focusing. Its focusing screen seems better designed for manual focusing the focus plane transitions appear more clearly. The focusing screen F6 appears to be superior to those in other cameras like the F100 or the D300. The M6 is actually louder than the automatic film winding (in silent Whirring noise, typical of mechanical cameras. Quieter than the F6 at medium/high speeds.

Its motor drive makes a loud noise when winding film, like a gun firing.īut the F6 film winding is nearly silent. Quieter than the older generation cameras, such as the F3.
Increase the shutter lag slightly, perhaps to further reduce the sound. I assume that all the refinement in theį6 made its way into the D3/D300 cameras, therefore, for anyone used to It is quieter, and the film advance is nearly silent.
