Nikon D70
I need to write more fully about this camera in time, but for the time being it is enough to say that it is really very good.
F3HP single lens reflex
For many the acme of Nikon photographic perfection lies in its early F series cameras. Some would say that the F3 had already marked a slight downward trend as compared to the F2, though many others would say that it is the finest SLR camera that Nikon ever produced. I don't really care one way or the other - I like my F3 very much and feel rather more attached to it (absurd as that may be) than to my F90x.
F90x
I have one of these. Like the Digilux, it does what it says on the tin. Not much to get excited about - efficient and reasonably robust. Very good with a fast AF lens (I have Tokina's pro-quality 28-85 f2.8 zoom) for shots of children, and other, everyday fast-moving things.
FM2n
I had one of these. Didn't like it very much. Not mechanical enough (compared to an M6) and not automated enough (compared to an M6). Sold it and bought the F3 instead.
