vincent_adams Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 <p>Out all the Nikon cameras I own, my favorite is my FM3A, it's really easy to use and takes great shots. My favorite Nikon digital camera (not my most expensive) is my D70, I've had so much fun with it.<br>Your thoughts...<br>-Dusty Boot</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_carroll4 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 <p>F3HP, without a doubt - basic, tough, just the right size<br /> F4S - very competent (good) - very big (not so good)<br /> F2/DE-1 - I love this camera, and I think it's be the best looking SLR ever, but it's almost too good to take out</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_shearman1 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 <p>By far my Nikon F2. I actually have four of them -- the one I saved my pennies for when I was 15 years old, and three others acquired later. I also various prisms/meters motors etc. They're built like a locomotive and there are no sissy frills like autofocus or fancy metering. Just a real camera for real photographers. :)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drjoder Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 <p>My favorite is the one I'm using at the moment! (Just happens to be a D90 right now and for the next year or two...after that???). As soon as I can locate an FM2n that will be my favorite film model--all mechanical except a batt for the light meter. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Currie Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 <p>The mighty F, of which I have three, is a sentimental favorite, still used regularly, but has been edged out, just by a hair, by the F3HP.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Schaefer Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 <p>F4 with MB-20 - except for the AF.<br> D200 - wish they hadn't changed the button layout for the D300.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihai_ciuca Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 <p>I like the look'n feel of FM3A, the size, weight & ergonomics of F100 and the pics resulted from D700.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_k8 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 <p>Love the F-5. but will always have a soft spot for the FA.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lex_jenkins Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 <p>Among 35mm film Nikon SLRs, another vote for the F3HP. Despite the few quirks it simply feels right and works well.</p> <p>Among Nikon dSLRs, dunno. I'm still using the D2H and like it, other than the bulk and weight. Of the more compact Nikon dSLRs I've tried I was most impressed with the D90. Haven't tried the D7000 yet but I'm betting I'd like it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leighb Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 <p>F2 non-metered - still have it and use it with several lenses - wonderful camera<br> F3HP - love it - no longer have it</p> <p>- Leigh</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgelfand Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 <p>The F100.</p> <p>It can use all my manual focus lenses (once I had them AI'ed) as well as all the new auto full frame lenses. As my eyes get older (and I get lazier) , auto focus is very helpful. Coupled with the SB-28 Speedlight, flash is "magic" compared to my older FTn and Vivitar 285 - especially fill flash.</p> <p>When I finally break down and purchase my first DSLR, I am sure I will like the Dxxx, just as well.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Crowe Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 <p>I'm relatively new to Nikon, so it's the D2X. Hopefully the D3X will be my favourite in the future.</p> <p>I like the idea of the F or F3HP.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanford Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 <p>F100. D300 is a close digital match for the F100.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christoph_sensen Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 <p>Nikon F6 and FM3a. Both in their own right and for different applications. If Nikon ever got wise enough to put the functionality of the D700 into the FM3a form factor, I'd buy it at any cost!<br> Christoph</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric_arnold Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 <p>still in love with the d300s, but i've been cheating with her big sister, the d3s. can you blame me?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andylynn Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 <p>Quick answer: all of them :)</p> <p>Real answer:<br> Favorite manual focus: F3HP. The feel is perfect and it's got enough features, all laid out just right.<br> Favorite modern: F100. The size is like it was molded to my hand.<br> Favorite digital: D90. I'd say D700 if I owned one, but I'm holding out and saving up for the next version.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCL Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 <p>I'll jump into the fray. My favorite manual focus film one is the F3HP, favorite AF is the D300. The F100 is a wonderful camera for film/AF fans. Lastly my EM is so light I just toss it in the car when I'm out and about.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zack_zoll Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 <p>I'm going to go in a different direction. I vote for the FG-20, since it was the first camera I ever owned. I got it when I was 6 :) Technically my father bought it for my mother, but she wasn't interested in learning how to use it and I was. And that was the camera I used, until about halfway through college.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
