Good student camera for those getting into film. Has all the modes, PASM, auto focus, and a decent light meter. It is plastic but light weight. The only negative is that it has no way to over ride the automatic ISO setting. It uses the coding on the film can to set ISO and you can not change that. This makes it virtually impossible to push the exposure index on a roll of film. The Nikon N80 is the more capable big brother. If you want full capabilities you may want to step up to that model. But otherwise the N65 is a decent shooter.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I bought this camera for the 28-100 lens. This is a light weight point and shoot SLR with many capabilities. On Automatic all you do is point and shoot. It has auto focus and takes great pictures. Also there are dial in settings for Sports, Landscape, Portrait, etc. It has a 10 second self timer and also works with a remote which is a pretty nice feature. If you need longer self timer time buy the Nikon N75 which can be programed for 20 second timer. The N80 is a more sophisticated camera body however does not have remote capability. Take your pick. These are all great SLR film cameras. Use 100 speed film to for best image quality. Cheers. MikeB
Film Cameria are not a thing of the past. I repeat, not a thing of the past. Most would feel that it is with all the digitial camerias on the market. The Nikon N65 is an outstand example great 35mm film camera still a live a kicking. It incorporates most of the newest technologies that Nikon has developed in there labs for the past few years. And now there newer cameras are out fitted with these new technologies. The dynamic auto focus for one. Secondly the matrix metering make this camera very easy to use in complete auto mode while it still has the ability to shoot in manual modes which is the tricky bit. Just a bit. This is mainly due to the confusing part of changing the aperture while in manual mode. Most people will be used to using the lens, however, now the aperture and shutter speed buttons are used instead. Countless time you will find yourself reaching for the lens then remembering you have to use the buttons. But it will become faster once you get used to it over time unless this is your first and only cameria. Then this could make all other cameras seem a bit confussing to you. This camera gives you the feeling that the machines have taken over due to the cameria doing most of the work .Some of the best features range from aperture priority, shutter priority, exposure bracketing. It alsouses the Nikon ML-L3 remote control shutter release option. You don't see that deature to often This make makes the cameria extremely reliably and it takes great beatiful crisp clean pictures. But one on the draw backs is that the camera seem to take a long time to focus on each shoot, but the final shoot is over all worth it. Not the best camera for a last second picture. Overall its a very lightweight and easy to carry cameria, easy to use and affordable camera that takes a high quaility pictures. A few options are confusing due to them not following stard cameria layout. Nocticeable slow focuse but over all a very good Cameria.Read full review
This is an older autofocus and autoexposure film SLR that provides Nikon technology, quality and versatility at relatively low cost. The G series lens lacks an aperture ring and does not have a distance scale on the focus ring, but the camera displays the aperture and shutter speed selected by the computer. The camera's computer provides a wide range of exposure and focus modes which allow the ability to set aperture priority, shutter priority, and focus priority, etc. which allow manual override of the automatic settings. Of course the fully automatic mode will suffice for most cases. Nikon's autofocus lens line has evolved in recent years so care must be taken to ensure compatibility when selecting additional lenses.
I bought one used N65 for myself just to try film SLRs in comparison to Nikon D80. The good thing is that (unlike Canon) Nikon SLR lenses fits every camera no matter digital or film. The only problem is crop factor, but you may use it sometimes as an artistic method. Nikon N65 seems for me a very good film camera (I used Nikon F40, Nikon 4004 and very old Kiev cameras as well). It is fast enough, light and cheap. It's little weight could also cause tilt problems with shutter. Camera flinches a little when shutter works. But that make sence only when you use remote control and no tripod (IMHO). Multiexposure and all other functions works fine. I can't compare it to Canon (Rebel or something) so couldn't recommend it as an ideal one, but for me it has everything that camera should have.
