Has anyone heard any rumours  about the F5?  
(From what some people have told me, it is supposed to be a F3 replacement, 
with the FA metering system, and possibly a built in 6 fps motor. Apparently
it will come out in two models (like the F3 and F3AF), with the AF being
Faster (!) than the 9000 Maxxum. It is also supposed to have dx code reading
capabilities, and a few other useless goodies like that...)

Does anyone know when it is expected out?

Oh yeah, when the F3 came out initially, did it push down the price of the
F2? Does this mean that if I wantto buy another F3 body I should wait until
the F5 comes out?  [F3's are still about 450, which is a bit much]
