John,
Depending on how dusty and damp, neither may be preferable. Maybe buy a
used F3 or F4s, they have better sealing.
As far as comparing the 6006 and N70, I have used both and, disregarding
functional capability, they are comparable handling wise. If I were to
choose (again), I would still pick the N70. Don't be scared off by the
whining you may have heard about the interface. Yes it is different than
other bodies, but if you have a reasonably funtion brain, you can learn it
very quickly IMHO. This is a very sophisticated camera for the price. If
you want more details, feel free to e-mail me.

Fellow users,
Is there a difference in build quality between these two bodies? Which is
most rugged for withstanding the rigors of months of living overseas in
a dusty tropical place, taking lots of pictures? I think that I would
prefer the interface of the N6006, but I do not have extensive experience
with either.
Thanks in advance,
John
