Looking at side view from the right. Now perhaps you can understand why I said the hand grip is slightly too large for an average Asian - NOT from the 'hold', the problem is the location of the AF/AE lock and the Focus Area Selector. But generally, it is still an improvement from the F4. Whatever, when look at the side, the viewfinder prism could be a problem for careless users - since it has a different engraved 'Nikon' name in front, if you have scratched or damaged the Titanium finder, you may not have an same replacement but have to settle for the same spec but a normal DP-30 Multi-Meter prism. It may not affect the functionality of the camera, but certainly collector's value will 'fluctuates' - as my friend call it.
