Photography Question 

Darryl
 

A good Second Camera


I know many good photograhers have several cameras they use. I wanted to know what would be a good camera to complement the nikon N80 I have now. I have heard very good things about the N90(I would buy it used, of course, since it is not made any more). I would classified myself right now as someone who shoots many different images, people nature,landscapes etc.Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks

  You own a sweet N80---a pro cam,Darryl, but instead of buying a Nikon N90, its better to OWN an F100 ( the slick black type)---the N90 is still amazing though.I would also recommend the Contax NX, Leica R8, Pentax MZ-S, or Canon EOS-1NRS! All these camera have exceptional features.

  Stick with Nikon. but, consider the FM-10. It's a manual and reliable.

  Darryl;

I'm a Nikon man myself.
The N-80 is a great camera.
I would think about the F-100 or the F5 depending upon your budget.
Nikon just released the new F6, but at 2300.00 for just the body I personally would not consider this model unless I were of the caliber of Jim Zuckerman,Brenda Tharp,Bryan Peterson,Kerry Drager and others in that league.

I own the N-75, and have been thinking about the N-80 or F 100.

  If you're happy with the N80,...why not get a second one.
You know its functions, you are familiar with its "feel" in your hands, and you know what your limitations are (if any), with that particular body.

I carry two identical Nikon FM2's with me all the time.
As mentioned,...the lenses are interchangeable, as are the other accessories.
