    After much searching and learning about older Nikons I've found out the
    following: The Nikon SMZ-2B and 2T are the old models of their current
    SMZ-800 (same zoom range). The SMZ-U is the same as the SMZ-1000. Their
    older models have metal casings and most parts are made of metal, whereas
    the new models are mostly plastic but with larger stands. The SMZ-1500 is
    a true new model, but for what I need to do, I think it may be a bit of an
    overkill.
    I've been looking for a nice used Leica or Wild M8 but so far have been
    unsuccessful at finding one that will meet my needs. I have also looked
    at the Olympus 1145, but apparently they are in very high demand and are
    hard to get a hold of.
    I just tough I'd pass on the information, while my search continues.
