I have a serious student whose father will be buying her a camera for
Christmas. His budget is around $300 (used isn't an option). I
recommended the Nikon FE10, and the camera shop recommended the
Pentax ZX-M. from my perspective, the long term compatibility with
the full range of the Nikon system gives the Nikon the edge. On the
other hand, the school has a K-1000, so she's used to Pentax, and
she'd be able to use any lenses or accessories the school has for the
next year and a half.
Her father is calling me tomorrow for advice on his decision. What
should I say?
(fwiw, if it was my own kid, an OM2n, 50/1.8, and either a flash or a
brick of film would be my choice)
