It appears that this quickly gets into personal preference territory. I got an F4 long after digital became dominant and like it for many of the same reasons someone may prefer an F5. I can use many items I have for both for my F and D700 (AI to AF-D lenses especially) plus my infrared D90 now. In my case the fact that the F4 was less electronic than a F5 held a certain appeal, but that’s just me.
