I shoot now with a Fuji S2, have been since the S2 was introduced..... and often people ask do I miss shooting film? Answer... I miss my Nikon F100 with the vertical grip....It had the feel and produced the results for what I consider reasonable dinero.
However, if sky is the limit, F5
If its manual focus. classic Nikon F body, or a Canon AE-1.
Just my $0.02
