Pros: Tough as nails, ergonomic design, advanced features (for a manual SLR) but no nonsense features.
Cons: Noisy shutter / mirror slap.
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended - a very reliable and well-designed camera that can really work for just about any photographer.

Pros: It is a combo of qualities so far spreaded along different camera bodies.
Cons: It is somewhat redundant if one already owns those different camera bodies.
The Bottom Line: Buy it if you don't own a partially automatic camera, or if you don't own a fully mechanical camera, or if it will be your first advanced camera.

Pros: Compact, reliable, easy to use, accurate.
Cons: Are there any???
The Bottom Line: Straightforward, reliable, compact, traditional camera which is hard to go past. Not much more than a second-hand FE2 and so much more refined!

Pros: Light
Durable
Simple
Fun
Cons: Manual focus
Max 1 sec shutter on manual
The Bottom Line: If you like manual focus, manual wind, simple automatic exposure, and Nikon lenses this is your dream camera. It should be illegal to have this much fun with a camera.
