Sent in my old Minolta for Service today and asked the guy at Minolta Service Centre when F100 will be in Singapore and the guy told me that Minolta didn't have such model. He reckoned that I mixed up with Nikon!!!

Manage to find this thread to confirm my memory works OK.

BTW, the pretty recep you guys talk about not in the office. All guys there only.

That's why. Confusing model numbers. The other one is the Sony DSC-F55. There's only one good F100, and that's the Nikon one.
