hi gang,

you know my softies. :) i want to figure this camera subject some
more. 

i have a nikon fg-20 (+50mm nikon) which becomes enough heavy for
me to blur the images apart from the lenses' own distortion or other
problems when used with my old vivitar 28-105 or 2nd hand tamron 28-80
cp macro zoom that i got recently to make trials. vivitar had also
failed in high mountain activities because of humidity and cold.
it's timer values also seem to be better than those of vivitar. for
the same room lightening it is 1/30 for tamron, 1/8 for vivitar.
(guess i'll take tamron and leave vivitar although it's some heavier
and use 200 iso film. any other idea?)

apart from this combination or a better second lens for nikon fg-20,
i think of having a new one most probably an autofocus slr but can't
decide on the model.

canon is unbelievably light but i don't know it at all. as may be
seen, i'm interested particularly in abstract, nature, macro, graphics
but may lead to different subjects occasionally.

i need your help to figure out. for example, i've seen very good shots
taken by nikon 80 at our recent mountain activity. i tried the nikon
90x of a friend some, but was heavy and seemed to have too much
feature that i probably won't use much. i don't know if 1/4000 is
within the very normal limits for these series, it seems almost
useless to me with my fg-20 point of view.

digitals, although may be finally what'll use, seems to be out of
focus for the moment. :)

i would like to have your suggestions.
