The grip on the camera feels really nice in the hand and the buttons are easy to access. The Nikon F100 is a modern film SLR with great ergonomics which Nikon are known for. Grab one because they are a pleasure to use. I just picked up an F100 in absolutely mint condition for $210.
It has a great AF system and it's full frame. I also like the full range of shooting options from fully auto to fully manual. It's the best film camera for a digital shooter to learn on because it uses all of the control digital shooters are used to. If you want to shoot with Aperture Priority, you also get Exposure Compensation from 1/3 to 3 in + and -, so yo u are good to go. The F100 also has a 1 degree spot meter, so you can use Ansel Adams Zone system to create stunning images in B&W. The 3D Matrix meter works extremely well for this film and everything else you shoot it with. It's easy to blow a shot with this beautiful film. The outstanding 3D Matrix metering takes all of the guessing out of shooting slide film, like Fuji Velvia, Velvia creates some of the most beautifully saturated images possible but has a very narrow exposure range. The Nikon F100 allows you to create excellent images.
Over the last year, I've come to prefer film over digital.
I shoot with a lot of cameras, both film and digital. One of my very favorite film cameras ever made.
