I have a camera that has both only because I couldn't afford the Nikon. I use the automatic alot if the lighting is REAL straight forward. Better control isn't all you get with the Nikon manual. You can change the focusing techique and the thing is built real solid. I think of dropping my camera on the cement and I think parts and pieces all over the ground. I know someone that has the FM and someone who has the manual (I can't remember what its called) and the manual is much more solid. Does anyone know if the shutter is more trustworthy on the manual? ihnp4!stolaf!umn-cs!minn-ua!tim
