Perhaps you should look into a 6006....! ;-)
The N90s is a really nice camera (as AF plastic-feel
bodies go...), but it has one MAJOR failing that
makes it useless for me - the viewfinder is not sharp!
Compare in the same light with the same lens focusing
manually on the same subject material with the 8008 and
the N90... (assuming you can see sharply at a distance
of about one meter...). It makes one wonder if Nikon is
intentionally making people think they need AF to
focus...! ;-)
