Practically speaking, I would not worry as much about reliability
and durability differences (unless you shoot a LOT of film, or
use the camera under VERY poor conditions...) as about useability
differences - the F3 is a great, precise, manual focus/exposure
camera, more suitable when exact composition and easy focus
anywhere on the viewfinder screen are important. The N90s is
preferable for many flash applications, or if you lean toward
AF/AE use. These are basicly different cameras... An F3 HP in
near mint condition may go for $5-700 (a bargain, compared with
its new price, and what it is....).
Hope This Helps
