Every time I look hard at the features of DSLRs I find myself wishing for a digital F100. Nikon's top cameras might feel similar and have fast autofocus, but the D100 and the D70 and Fuji S2 have slower autofocus and feel wrong. The viewfinder views on these digitals, including the Canon D-Rebel and 10D are very small. I like the big, bright viewfinder in the F100. It's not the greatest camera ever, but the most comfortable one I'll held for less than thousands of dollars. The temptation to just buy something new is great, especially doing photo a day. The limitations of the Coolpix 3100 can really be frustrating. I always have to change the batteries in mid-shoot after I've got it locked down on the tripod. :) But I'm going to try to resist those temptations and shoot more film! Alongside the Coolpix.

The ghosting you see on the Nikon and F100 labels is caused by my heartbeat. I put the camera on a monopod for steadiness, but noticed my whole body pulsed just a bit right to left with each beat. I couldn't get it below one beat per 1/10 second! I'm not sure I'd want to. The focal length used is equivalent to 135mm in 35mm format. Something wider might not have magnified the movement so much. But I wanted a tight shot.
