I certainly appreciate those features in my D7000.

Since I also use a Nikon D7000 digital SLR for everyday people and other photography, I felt little need to upgrade my SLR film bodies.Īnyway, as current day photographers, we have become accustomed to using cameras with the recent technological advances, such as advanced 3D color matrix metering, advanced electronic flash technology, more advanced and refined body design and construction, etc. So, for a time, I focused on on using my Mamiya 7 medium format rangefinder and my airline travel friendly Nikon FM2N/FE2. I mostly do landscape and travel photography, so I didn't want to lug around the full-size F5 body. When the F4 was replaced by the F5, I was one of those photographers who was put off by the relatively extreme size and weight of the F5. While I use autofocus zooms for the mid-range focal lengths, I like to use my old Ai Nikkor manual focus lenses for extreme wide angle and some telephoto applications. But, with the F90x, I missed the ability to see my aperture in the viewfinder and also do matrix metering with manual focus lenses. For a while, I used the F90x when it was in current production. However, while I love my F4 and have used it until very recently, it has obviously not been my main film body in recent years. If you have been reading my Nikon pro-series reviews in order, you can see that I have been a loyal user of Nikon pro-level bodies since the days of the Nikon Photomic FTn.
