Nikon F6 Digital?

Hi,

Im interested in the 35mm Nikon F6 camera, but would like to know if there is also the SAME model available but as a digital version?

Ive searched, but have found nothing stating that there is.

Thanks.

No!

absolutely positively a film camera

For the closest thing digital check out the D2X.

To be a bit pedantic, the D200 would probably be closer to the F6 considering the form factor

(Half height + Optional Grip, as opposed to the full-height body of the D2 series)

Yeah, but the tech inside is much more D2X... Plus the F6 has a hooge prism ;o

I suppose the D2-series does have CAM2000 (The speed and torque is just amazing... makes non AF-S feel like AF-S, I tell you!) Oh, and the F6 viewfinder... those are the kind of things that really makes me want to go out and take photos, just so that I get to use the amazing equipment more

Thanks for your replies.

So i guess the F6 it is then!! I think ill stick to 35mm i love the traditional way of photography.

Thanks again

I'm 58, and I can assure you that digital photography is only an extension of film photography, I love both, couldn't bare the thought of giving up all my old SLR stuff. Buy a cheap digital compact and give it a twirl (just paid £150.00 for Canon A540 ) and work them side by side, its still photography, the difference is you see it through to the end, as opposed to posting them off to the developers ( apologies if you develop your own )
I jumped straight in from 35 years of SLR photography to the Canon 10D, booked my self on a Canon Seminar in Gloucester (felt a bit out of place nearly everybody had the Mark II D ) still I enjoyed the day out with fellow photo nuts.
