I guess there are some differences that could become important to me down the road, which will keep alive my desire to acquire an F100 with money I don't have. The rest is not important to me and the N90s can autobracket with the data back, which I have And for some reason, I dislike G lenses even though I have some they just seem incomplete! aperture stops: this is useful when using AF lenses, but I doubt it applies to AI lenses, and most of mine currently are AI.
metering feedback I'm kind of used to my Nikkormats, so any feedback is a bonus. Ergonomics: I have a D70 and D100, similar to the F100 - but I really like the hold and feel of the N90s, even though different. Looking at benveniste's very informative comments (for which thank you), there isn't much that would be important to me right now, although some things that might be down the road. Nikon's also made some excellent new lenses in the last few years, but with the exception of the PC-E lenses they are all "G" designs without aperture rings. I find switching between the F100, D200, and D800 to be quite easy, with the controls falling to hand naturally. Is it worth "trading up" at this late date? I'd say the two best reasons are a) VR, and b) is if you also shoot Nikon dSLR's. I think the F100's shutter is rated for more shots. The F100 has Slightly more advanced matrix metering (Okay, I looked it up.10-segment vs. The F100 can autobracket with the standard back. (Not an issue for me, I don't own the grip!) The F100 has a command dial on the vertical grip. The F100 will stop down to the indicated aperture. In S or P mode, the depth of field preview on the N90s always stops down to the minimum aperture.

This also means it can use "G" lenses in manual or aperture priority mode. The F100 allows you to set aperture in 1/3 stops on the camera instead of using the aperture ring. In manual mode, the F100 gives you two stops of metering feedback instead of just one. The F100 has a 96% viewfinder, the N90s has a 92% finder. I found the ergonomics of the F100 to be far more to my tastes than the N90s. Off the top of my head, I can remember the following differences: I don't own both models, but when I finally decided to get my first autofocus camera I first bought a N90s, decided I didn't like it and went with the considerably (to me) more expensive F100 instead.
