This was my first camera, the Vivitar N3800N. Honestly to me, I like it, but is it really a good camera, should I upgrade? Its fully manual and I normally shooy black and white. what should I do?

If it still works, stick with it.

Seconded. Why bother upgrading if what you've got works fine?

If you like it and don't need aperture/shutter priority, AF and other automation, why bother? A film body is just a light-tight box, it doesn't affect the quality of your images (at least unless it's in a *really* bad shape)

Could you tell me more about it? I've been interested in getting one, they look quite comfortable and am looking for something rugged but still new-ish.

Has no 'real' dials. I prefer dials, and kind of dislike LCD panels. I didn't knew these were going for so cheap nowadays though, might look into it.

I was going to suggest a 7 or 9, but i think you might hate them based on that.

Lots of dials, most rugged camera ever made, all the features a person could ever need, and not a crapon.

Yeah, but that just doesn't look comfortable as well.

Are you kidding?

Frankly, you can trust Nikon gear. The same goes for high end Canon gear. It's reliable. It's sturdy. It will take the abuse that goes with professional rigors. You can pick up a Nikon every day, and use it, just like you use a tool. Hell, you can drive nails with old Nikons. That's the quality we're talking about here.

When you make your livelihood, you don't choose the brand that offers an equivalent, even similar system, you choose the brand that is a trustworthy and time-tested tool. Thus, Nikon. There are always distinctions to be made between Nikon and Canon, but I've often heard this statement, and I believe it: Canons are the best cameras made by engineers, but Nikons are the best cameras made by photographers. It's a generalization, but that feels very true to me.

One of the most comfortable cameras I've ever had.
