Thinking of getting a Nikon

I believe the F6 supports Nikon CLS lighting and iTTL (so will utilise your SB-600/800/900 flashes to their full potential), and it's the only 35mm body that does.

If flash is your thing. :)

I use a combination of a Nikon D90 and F90, both produce superb results and the AF lenses are fully compatible with both bodies

I've got an N90s (F90x outside the USA), and I believe (going from memory here as I haven't used it in a couple of years) it won't work with any "G" lenses (that is any lenses that don't have an aperture ring) in aperture priority or manual modes, as it does not have 2 command dials for controlling the aperture & shutter speed.

It only has a single dial for shutter speed, so shutter priority and program mode is pretty much your lot. If your lens has an aperture ring (like the 50mm f/1.8D or 300mm f/4 AF-S), then you can shoot manual and aperture priority modes.

I rate the F100 highly, I've also got a D700, so all the lenses are fully compatible, and they even feel very similar to handle and to hold. So much so that I often find myself looking at the back of the F100 after taking a shot:D

If it's a good 'un, £150 with a lens is a steal, they were about £800 new when production ended.

I agree the F100 is a great camera..verry similar to my D200 as regards to layout and handling...
I ended up taking the plunge in the end and ordered an F4 too along with some other stuff...my bank card isn't that happy LOL

I paid £2K (body only) for an F4 in 1996, which should make you feel a whole lot better. How much did you get it for as a matter of interest?

LOL. 139 quid!! It's a real workhorse of a camera. The nice thing about the F4 is that while it incorporates AF, it's the last of the line with a proper shutter speed dial and apertures where they should be - on the lens. After that it was all lcd screens and push pull data entry buttons - inevitable progress, but cameras lost something in the process.
