FS: Nikon F5 SLR Film Camera
Finished my photo class at school and I decided I'd rather just get rid of it and use the money towards my car or my digital camera. I bought the camera brand new in box from some guy in Fresno and I've only put 3 rolls of film through it. Amazing perfect condition, not a single scratch on the whole thing. (Does not come with the 50mm 
)
This is a professional camera that can take a boat load of abuse and keep on ticking. It feels like it's built out of a tank. Looking through this viewfinder definitely puts any cropped sensor camera to shame.
Price - $350

Bump for one of the best Nikon film camera!
(The F6 isn't anywhere near as fast or built as tough as this camera, plus that thing is still about $1200 used!)

Crop from Nikon Coolpix 5000 5MP Camera
Fuji Velvia 50 through a microscope
4000dpi scan of Fuji Velvia
4000 dpi Scan of the Velvia Slide Upsampled 400%
(4 Times Horizontally & Vertically = 16 Times as Many Pixels)
Although there might be very slightly more information in the slide image than in the 4000 dpi scan of it, for all practical purposes, the 4000 dpi scan captured all the important detail on the slide. This becomes apparent after upsampling the 4000 dpi scan.
If we agree on this point, then my digital camera's sensor would unquestionably match the resolution of Velvia 35mm slide film if it could match the resolution of the 4000 dpi slide scanner.
The 4000 dpi slide scanner placed 16 pixels across the cropped area shown above.
My Nikon Coolpix 5000 placed 9 pixels across the same area.
Coolscan : 16 x 16 = 256 pixels per unit area
Coolpix : 9 x 9 = 81 pixels per unit area
Therefore, the scanner effectively has 256/81 = 3.16 times as many pixels as the digital sensor in my Coolpix.
The Coolpix sensor has 4,915,200 effective pixels.
Therefore, 4,915,200 x 3.16 =
15,532,032 pixels would be required to match the resolution of Velvia ISO 50 35mm slide film.
