Dear Digest-readers,
Thanks for the many good advice you gave me, regarding
bying a new Nikon for shooting people interactions, children, etc
with the option of using fill- flash. I listed my
requirements as follows:
I do not need 117 fancy exposure programs,
but I do need the following: Autofocus, compatibility
with Series E lenses (I can't affort to upgrade all my
leses at once), manual override of everything(!),
build-in flash, flah sync 1/250 (as the FE2) or better,
spotmetering, exposure compensation, plus of course the
usual roughness that makes the Nikon a perfect blunt weapon.
My reasons for wanting pop-up flash was 1) To always
have the flash ready 2) Avoid extra weight 3) A mounted flash
makes the camera clumsy and harder to handle.
Now, I really like the features of the F90 and the F4,
and would prefer one of these to the F70, but alas, I will have
to hire somebody to carry camera+equipment for me :-)
Maybe I should just buy a decent P&S camera and use
my FE2 for more "serious" work? How do you manage to have your
flash ready for those candid shots (both in- and outdoors)
without breaking your spine? Having said this: Why should I buy
a F90/F4 instead of a P&S to supplement my FE2?
