> 	I've been looking at the Pentax ME Super and the Nikon FG.

	I've got a Nikon FG (that I bought for my wife who seldom uses
it), and have found it to be a very good, trouble-free camera.  I've
taken it up into the mountains (Sierra Nevada) and, while I don't think
it will take as much punishment as my old metal body Vivitar (weighs
in at about 3lbs), it stands up really well.  One nice thing about it
is that if you don't have the time to set up your shots, it can be used
as a "focus and shoot", as well as aperture priority, and manual.  Seems
to be designed to meet as wide a market as it can...and while I prefer
manual, there have been times when the "programmed" or aperture priority
modes have come in handy.  I, for one, recommend the Nikon FG highly.

					Happiness;
					Chip
