Like those cameras this camera is manual focus. It does provide a programmed exposure mode as well as aperture priority and full manual. The shutter is electronically controlled so it requires batteries to operate with the exception of 1\/90 second and bulb which are mechanical. What the Nikon has over the other two is control over exposure. In addition to the PAM modes it has +-2 stops compensation in half stops and a +2 backlight compensation button. I feel this is a great choice as a compact SLR for anyone wanting to shoot film in addition to digital.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin:
