Only one of those things concerns recent developments, unless you count backward compatibility as being something new.... I was out looking at Nikons and Minoltas this afternoon...has anyone seen the Maxxum 7? I was really impressed by it. It's tremendously overloaded with a zillion features--it's really a feature-lover's camera--but the viewfinder was large by current standards and so much brighter than the N80's (in a relatively dark camera store) that it was almost difficult to believe. AF was extremely good, too. The thing I really like about the N80 is how quiet and vibration-free its shutter is. But compared to the Maxxum 7 it's like there's a thick coat of yellow varnish over the Nikon's viewfinder screen. Too bad I'd have to use Nikkors on the darn thing. I really like the N80. --Mike
