  You can always do better with a manual.  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?
