My fault. When you said "#1 in the business", I thought you were talking about sales. Canon, I believe, became #1 in sales before Pros started switching over because consumers drove the market. And I had not heard anyone classify the F4 as a "manual focus camera" before.
"The F4 is the world's first professional autofocus camera". That being the case, it is logical that those that came after it would AF faster/better.

I am surprised that you didn't hear people said "The F4 is the best Nikon manual focus camera". Many of the F4 fans said that. Their reasoning mainly because the F4 has the shutter speed and aperture controls the same as the older cameras. It also supports matrix metering for manual focus lenses. Compared to the F3 before it, it has much faster top shutter speed and flash sync speed. They can't claim the AF of the F4 as it's pretty lame. In my opinion the F4 AF is slow but OK. But although I have one, it's the Nikon I most unlikely to use.
