I was not aware of the fact that the F100 body is larger than the N80 body. I am glad, then, that I opted for the N80. How much larger is the F100, as I have not completely ruled out that body (in terms of a possible future purchase)? Does it feel significantly larger?

Perhaps this is how all digital >> bodies tend to be (a bit thick)?
