What full frame camera should I get? (slrpnk.net)

I am considering to get my first FF camera and has been difficult to decide which one to get. I am looking for a system that is lightweight (as long as possible), looks vintage, can be used with vintage lenses.

What would you suggest?

Before you buy it, I always suggest you rent or borrow one and make sure it works for you.

I was going to choose a Canon based on specs and reviews. I rented one and hated it. All the functions were on the back and I found it quite hard to get in the flow, spending all my time "chimping" the menus.

I borrowed a friends Nikon, and found all the buttons I wanted were where my fingers were, and I just naturally found it gelled. I found I spent more time taking the pictures I wanted, and less time messing around.

My partner on the other hand hates my Nikon, and has a Canon that she loves...
