This is a great camera for someone who knows how to use it to its full potential. If you more or less know how to use the camera on the manual setting, in other words, controlling the aperature, shutterspeed and focus yourself; this is a great camera. If you don't know how to work those three things, you should not waste your time with it; just stick with a point-and-shoot digital camera and move on! There is no sense wasting your time with such a sophisticated camera, to take pictures on full automatic fuction & along with auto-focus to take pictures of litte Johnny in the pool; because this defeats the purpose of the camera. For those of you who know a thing or two about cameras, and basically know take pictures by controlling the type/quality of film you buy, along with the previous three things I mentioned, this is a durable, and dependable camera that will give you years of enjoyment!Read full review
if you are looking for a good solid lightweight easy to use camera this is it. doesn't have tons of features for an advanced photographer but does have the ability to take great pictures.great program modes and a good metering system. film advance is a bit slow but as long as you don't plan to take shots of super fast action you should be ok. nikons 28-80mm lens is a great lens you can't do much better. crisp detail and also lightweight great for everyday use. the nikon 80-200mm is just as good as the 28-80 with all the same good points. only negative is the zoom length.
This model deserves it's rating as one of the best later model film Nikons. I also use an N50 and N65, this body with the same lens used seems to react most quickly and focus most evenly. The color reproduction is great even sometimes under less than optimal lighting. It helps to have the manual- one tricky thing the N75 (and up) do is take all the film out of the cartridge and work backward, which can be disconcerting if you're used to usual take and rewind at the end of the roll. As alwys your lenses will determine 90% of the performance, I've found that Quantarays and Sigmas (which were in many kits) work fine for most intermediate users like myself.
I wanted a Nikon camera forever, my husband got me this one in 2004 and it is WONDERFUL. It takes excellent photos, and you really don't have to know anything about taking good pictures. But, if you want more control over your photos you can just switch the camera to manual and voila! I have used this camera for trips, vacations, holidays, you name it. I even used it for a beginning photography class at college. Anyway, if you are a beginner, or even an advanced photgrapher this camera is great. It is reliable, sturdy, lightweight, and takes great pictures.
I love this camera.The directions are easy to understand for a rookie! It takes beautiful pictures,great close up shots of my cats and grandchildren. It even has a setting that will show the individual droplets in my water fountain and When I tried that setting it worked perfectly as you could see each droplet.I love this camera so much that I just bought another one for my daughter, if that tells you anything!! A very happy Winkytulip!
