Or get a used F100 and use the savings to buy more film ;-)

I don't know what the cost of film processing is where you live,
or how many frames you shoot in a year... but for me the cost
saving in in storing images to DVDs rather than negatives in just
*one* year is enough to pay for a D2x.

Ymmv, of course.
