BetterSense, maybe an F80 or F70 would be a better fit for you.
I have a bunch of Nikons and I find myself reaching more and more for the F4S. The excellent compatibility with older Nikkor lenses and the simple controls, plus the fact that it uses cheap and easy-to-get AA batteries, make it a winner for me.
That's why I went with an F4; it's a lot like my normal-focus cameras. Heck it even has a rewind crank so I don't have to fish my film leaders out of the cassettes. But the main excuse for buying it (my wife is too blind to manual-focus) was nullified by its weight and bulk. She couldn't hold it up without bracing her elbows against herself. Sorry honey, I didn't realize they even made 35mm cameras this big. I have an N75 on the way now; at least it will be light enough for her to use.
I really want to like these "advanced" late-model cameras, what with their auto-focusing, matrix-metering, and motordrives, but I don't understand why they've gone so far backward it terms of size and weight, not to mention viewfinder size. What I really want is a camera the size of my OM2 but with all the gizmos. I guess now I realize that Pentax has some fully-featured AF cameras that are roughly the size of a normal-focus camera like the ME. To me, this is progress. I still have to find one though; I guess they never caught on.
I have smaller medium format cameras
This. Actually my Isolette is smaller than ANY of my 35mm cameras because it's so flat. I can carry it in by back jeans pocket.
