The top left lcd in my F4 started to bleed a little bit the last few months. Luckily, the issue is pretty mild at the moment and does not obstruct any of the displayed information.

The elephant in the room is the propensity for the F3's, F4's & F5's LCD's to bleed. Why has no one addressed that? It's a show stopper.

Just from a quick search about these LCD Screens.......it seems like the time it takes to happen is all over the map and can vary by MANY Years.The top left lcd in my F4 has started to bleed a little bit the last few months.

I guess they WILL All fail at some point.?
Op was probably innocently thinking - just get a 35mm slr to complement my baller rangefinder and medium format cameras. Just a nice nikon slr.. that won't be like the the hellish vortex of going leica shopping... just a nice nikon slr to take restful photos of animals and the occasional game of handball..
I was. Very naive. I cant get any work done now - to busy reading lens reviews.
Well, please don't take it personal, but as my industry sources have been reliable so far over years, I trust them more than statements from anonymous people on the internet. That does not mean that my sources generally can't be wrong, but so far they have not given me any reason to doubt them.
Back to the original topic now........

Yes;
Thanks - do you know if its the only option?
I'll show my age here and say that once I have the menu items set up, I almost never re-visit them. That makes the camera be like one that just has buttons and dials, but with the vanishingly rare option of changing the buttons and dials by software, which is something I might do when using an elaborate set of flashes indoors, but never when wearing gloves in the cold!
I'll confess to owning an Olympus OM-D, which I bought for reasons of nostalgia about ten years ago (since far better satisfied with actual film Olympus cameras). Its menu system is a wretched nightmare, and the manual comes on a CD that won't work with a modern Mac. I never touch it, save to format the SD card. I like buttons, switches, dials (even Verniers when needed) but God save us from menus!
Most likely you can download the manual in pdf format from the Olympus site. I've got a copy of the manual for mine in the "Manuals" folder on my computer.Its menu system is a wretched nightmare, and the manual comes on a CD that won't work with a modern Mac.

I expect Sirius missed the fact that drmoss_ca was referring to his Olympus M4/3 digital camera's manual.
Unmentioned with menus comes the dependence on batteries which starts the discussion of battery problems on cold weather.
Of course you know all the AF Nikons are 100% dependent on batteries. Menus or no menus.
Of course which is why most of my work is with all mechanical cameras and the less serious work is done with the Nikons.

Something like 99.9999% of professional aka serious photography nowadays is done with 100% battery reliant cameras.
I may need to check my math, it could be closer to 99.9999999%, but you get the idea.
