I love Nikon. I love their handling. I love their ergonomics. It's all very logical to me. Below is a list of the Nikon Cameras I have owned or own at one point or another and what I like the most about them.
1) Nikon F3HP - Whats not to like. Great build, large, bright viewfinder, accurate metering, the sound of the shutter is just intoxicating, just can't get enough of it.
2) Nikon FM2 - A lot like the F3HP, only with a smaller viewfinder but another mechanical marvel.
3) Nikon F100 - Lightning fast AF (faster than my D200), great metering, 5fps
4) Nikon Coolpix 8400 - Great lens, produces great color and contrast.
5) Nikon D70 - Accurate metering, and great resolution for 6MP, printed 60" x 45" great
6) Nikon D200 - The perfect camera, excellent resolution and metering, quick accurate AF, perfect ergonomics, big bright LCD
7) Nikon D80 - a baby D200, smaller, lighter but almost the exact same camera
