After having a fully manual SLR for three years and mastering the basics of photography, I decided to get one of these second hand. After three months of getting used to the functions and handling, the camera has been a bit of a disappointment. The action and landscape photos are very clear with good colour modulation, this is helped by the spot on metering and autofocus, but the camera is bit disappointing in areas where the lighting is distorted or where there are lots of shades. The camera is also heavy to use but comfortable once you've broken it in. I wouldn't recommend it for anything other then stationary work (using a tripod in particular), as the weight and awkward handling can cause bad results.

I purchased this camera two years ago. This is a well-built Nikon. Auto focus is very fast and accurate.
This camera has 3D-color matrix metering for examine scene color also for perfect exposure.
But metering of F-5 and N90S works same for me. If you will purchase this camera remember that you are paying for build quality and features.

<br>I have worked with many cameras but F5 is
