I would suggest a new AF Nikon.  The N80 or F80 is going for around $400 new
after rebate.  If offers a great smallish, light body that is easy to use.
8008's go for the $300 range, don't focus as fast as the newer bodies and
also don't have the really cool grid screen at the touch of a CF button.
N90's are big, heavy camera's relatively speaking.

If you will almost never use AF then look at a 2020.  Very intuitive
controls, just really slow AF.  Prices can be below $100 for a "user".
Whatever you do, stay away from the 4004, 4004s, or the 5005.  This series
had only one thing going for them, the F mount.
