Response to choosing a better camera???

Janet, like Jorge mentioned, you should be able to get your hands on an F3HP. Used ones are right in that price range. You didn't mention if you had/used a flash. The F3HP takes a special mount for the flash. It is more of a claw type vs. a normal hot shoe. You would need an SB-16 or someone out there makes an adapter that will allow you to mount regular hot shoe flashes. The FM10 can be had new but just be aware that it is an all plastic body, including the lens mount (yikes). You should also be able to find a used FE/FE2 or FM2N (or maybe a new FM2N). For a little bit more, you could go and buy a new FM3A (think FM2N meets FE2 and has a kid). You didn't mention if you wanted to stick with a full manual shooter or if you wanted some automation. If you do want some automation (more than your N2000 but not automation only), check out a new N80/F80. You also might find a used N90s/F90s or a used F4 in that price range.
