There are a ton (or perhaps in the electronic terminology a Gigabyte) of similar threads. i.e. the best, most versitile, useable etc... autofocus film camera.

They mostly seem to come to the same conclusion, or perhaps it is just because so many of us have one.

I would suggest the PZ-1 or PZ-1p.

It is a full sized film slr with a good autofocus, can work in full manual, and apature priority modes with manual apature lenses, or electronic apature lenses. So if you want to take your camera out of automatic mode and turn the apature ring go right ahead. Also there are convenient thumb wheels (one in front, one in back) that can control shutter and apature electronically as well. These may convince you to stop twisting the apature ring all toghether.

All controls, and functions are laid out very similar to the K10D and *istD, making it the film equivelent of the High end amature digital cameras.
