I am a moderately enthusiastic amateur photographer, and I am looking 
to upgrade from my Nikon EM. This is the bottom-of-the-line Nikon, and
is an aperture-priority automatic (no manual override). It has been quite
serviceable, though, and I also happen to have some Nikon (E series) lenses;
therefore, I am planning to stick with Nikon and just get a fancier model.
I would greatly appreciate any advice from you Nikon owners out there, with
specific regard to the FM-2, FE-2, FG and FG-20 bodies, which seem to be
approximately in the price range I am interested in.

I am interested in a camera with program mode, and preferably both
aperture-priority auto and shutter-priority auto and complete manual
override. I usually take slides (average about 10/month) and occasional
B&W prints (almost never colour prints). A very fast (<1/2000) shutter
speed is not essential, but I take a lot of time exposures, so some feature
(such as a built-in settable timer) that helps in long exposures would be
great.

Any advice and information about good or bad experiences with the above
cameras, prices, etc. would be most welcome.
