After all, if we all wanted the same camera, they'd only make one model. For me the attractions are, in order of importance: the higher top speed, the motor and autoexposure. I never use flash, so I don't care about the sync speed. DX and door loading are minor conveniences (though useful ones). I guess the attraction is in the whole package - modern conveniences in a solid Leica-like package that lets me manually focus all that great Leica glass. The similarities in character of the Hexar RF and the Nikon F3 are unmistakable. Paul
