Hi agein

Well... if you are used to the F5, the S3 will feel like a plastic toy in your hands. It is indeed a plastic toy, however, with decent electronics inside.

The viewfinder is small - it was always too small for me (I was used to the F90, which is smaller than the F5, but way bigger than the D100 / S3 etc.). I went all the way from a D100 to a S1, S2, S3 until finally in the S5 I got back a decent camera body feeling. It is heavier, this is true, however, certainly not as heavy as a F5, and I often use my s5 it with my 70-200mm/2.8/VR and there, the weight of the body makes only a marginal difference. Its a question of taste at the end.

However, I don't remember having used a D60, so I don't know.

I would just try that S3 out. It can be fun anyway. But the viewfinder is really consumer level.

Thanks! My friend that owns the S3 is comming back from vacation this week, until then i will be able to hold a S3 for the first time ever, then i will decide. Then again i have been eyeing some S5 on ebay and i will probably bet on one by tomorrow, if i get lucky i will end up getting it, if no one else beats me to it.

Like i said, i just sold my D7000 but i will be buying possibly a D5200 or D7100 in the future to complement a Fuji for skin tones and a CMOS sensor for hi ISO shots.

Everybody has REALLY GOOD suggestions. You guys are the coolest!
