The F5 is a film camera, and as implied by Don, also rather overkill for your needs. It may well have a maximum shutter speed of 1/8000, but this is not really an important factor to be considering for the kind of use you are going to be putting the camera to. Apart from anything else, you have to have a LOT of light, a very fast lens, and very fast film to be able to make use of such a high shutter speed. For landscapes and birding this is unlikely to be the case.
If this doesn't make much sense, it may be useful to read this thread:

It's unlikely that you are ever going to have enough light to be able to use 1/8000th, especially with a lens that's big enough for birding. For landscapes you won't be using film or apertures that are fast enough to push the shutter speed up to 1/8000th.
