I'm not up on the latest models because last time I casually looked around
it seemed like what I want was still long enough out to not bother looking
around again yet.  My serious camera is a Nikon F3T.  Yes, that means it
takes film.  Currently I get the film processed only, scan it, then go
digitally from there at about 9Mpix per image.  I wouldn't mind loosing the
film, but do mind loosing the great flexibility the camera itself offers.
Last I looked, full size 36x24mm sensors were still very dear and not mature
enough yet.  I'm sure they'll come down eventually, which is OK since I'm
not in any hurry to replace the F3.

I happen to notice a couple of years ago that a used F3T was actually going
for more than I paid for it in 1982, although not after accounting for
inflation.  Apparently the F3 and even more so the F3T have a bit of a cult
following.
