  1. Very Nice! This is very well put together. The only suggestion I have would be instead of specifying the D80 and the FM10 I would put Nikon system or something like that. Once you know the basics of the nikon systems they are all very similar (I am oversimplifying) but if you know the basics and are familiar with both Nikon film and digital then put down a more general description so that it doesn't look like you only know just 2 cameras, but are familiar enough to use a variety of Nikon cameras. Otherwise I have no complaints at all with the way you've listed everything. Good job.
