Hi all, been away for a few weeks and I've got a bit of a quandary. Iv'e got a bit of spare cash which I can add to over the short term if necessary and I want another Nikon body to add to my F301. I don't plan to add motordrive as I would like something a bit more discreet for candids etc. i was shooting my friends 2 year old the other day and after about 8 shots he objected to the whole process, i suspect because of the industrial clacking of the 301 motorwind. I've realised that my ambitions lie in "photo journalism", purely from a hobby point of view, and have invested in a small bag that will take a couple of bodies with lenses attached. I believe I need something with at least aperture priority as an option. Some of the shots I missed lately through not having my camera with me (hence the smaller bag that now goes everywhere with me) would have required a quick focus and shoot. No time for manual exposure. I've narrowed the field down to the FE, FE2 and F3. Whilst i look after my gear I can't guarantee that it won't get dinked in the pursuit of my hobby. The FE I can probably pick up for about £60 and as such can afford to have bouncing round my bag. The FE2 and especially the F3 require considerably more largesse. Question is, is the F3 markedly better than the FE2 to justify it's much higher price tag? Any existing users can add their input to the problem?
Cheers, Lol
