I think not. The F5 sales figures have been on the level of the F pro Nikon 
cameras. F100 is a advanced amateur not a pro however many pros had it as a 
backup or even as a main camera but the building of the F5 is definitely 
much more robust. In every feature the F5 is better camera excepting the red 
illuminated focusing points that in the F5 are grey and more difficult of 
seeing. I have not -yet- the F6 but I own two F, two F2 and one F3,F4 and F5 
and the later is, by far, the best. Nikon optics are different from Leica 
which does not mean every time worse.
