Film cameras - the bodies themselves - have little to do with image quality. Lenses are far more important to image quality than camera bodies. So, as long as your camera has accurate shutter speeds, aperture settings and metering, the brand you pick doesn't really have much of an effect upon the final image. So, then, it appears the model camera you choose is irrelevant. Well, no. The type of film SLR camera you choose is most important to you as the photographer in features and convenience. Comfort has a lot to do with how good you are as a photographer. What I mean by that is that, you choose a camera that feels comfortable in your hands and becomes an extension of your brain as a photographer. This makes it easier to capture the types of images you want.
