The F3 is about 5oz heavier than the LX. They were both intended for the same use and market. Maybe Nikon has a better idea of what kind of reliability is expected of this class of camera.
From: Peter Alling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: I think that the comparison to the F3 is a bit unfair by the way. It is much bigger, almost as large and heavy as a Pentax 67. If you can't build in reliability by using bigger heavier parts then you're doing something wrong. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
