Dear fellow Nikoneers, There's a wonderful used F-801s (N8008s) in a shop window here in Graz, Austria for a very reasonable price and I am tempted to buy it. I own an almost new F-601, which I really love. So I have to be convinced not just by my feelings, but also by logical reasons. I know about the 1/250 X-Sync, the DOF preview, the 1/8000 as fastest shutter speed, the ME-capability and the better communication with my father's SB26, which I can borrow, when needed. And I know about the draw-backs (no's: BKT, built-in flash, onboard flash-features, etc.). What I'm really interested in besides those already good points, is the following: 1. Is the F-801s more reliable than the F-601, is it more rugged? 2. Is the AF really that much faster (yes, I'm still using AF)? 3. Is there a way to get the printing data somehow stored? I know, there is MF-21, but is it possible to print the data on frame 0?????? I won't print anything ON the frame! I would very much appreciate any information from all of you, especially those who used both cameras. You're very welcome to answer me directly, if you feel this would overload the list. Thanks friends, Wolfgang ---------- Wolfgang Spekner Franz-Nabl-Institut für Literaturforschung [Franz-Nabl-Institute for Literary Research] Humboldtstrasse 9 A-8010 Graz Austria Tel. ++43/316/685269 Fax ++43/316/674840 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
