Strength:
I like its neutral colour palette and find it is quite brilliant enough - particularly when we visited Greece, or here in NZ where our light is already very bright and contrasty. It's fine in all light conditions though, except fluoro or excessive tungsten where you need flash anyway. Like any slide film, exposure needs to be bang on. local tow truck company Weakness:

I am about 6 feet tall, and I feel the pack is made for someone about 5'6" I can only really use the sholder straps, the lumbar strap is more of a rib strap for me. Yuba City Mobile Truck Repair Weakness:

Strength:
fast AF (despite what everyone else says), durability and toughness, ergonomics, build, battery life, looks, large, bright viewfinder, intuitive, fast and easy to use, can use old MF lenses with this (most do meter).
Weakness:
The shutter goes off LOUDLY. This is the only fault I can honestly think of and, at times, it can be inhibiting. This is not my only camera. But it is my favorite camera out of the twenty-odd that I have available for my use. I will not leave town without this camera in my bag. I honestly don't know what people are complaining about when they say the autofocus is not fast. My lord, I point and touch the button and the scene is in focus. What more do people want? I couldn't be happier, as this camera usually will not hunt like my other Nikon DSLR's. This baby locks on in even poor light. It's far better at auto focusing than my more modern DSLR's. The metering is also right on and rivals my F3 for accuracy. Its ergonomics and sure grip enable me to take hand-held night shots that can only be dreamed of with other cameras. I have owned about 100 cameras in my long life and I will state unequivocally that this is my favorite of all as it has provided me with the highest percentage of extraordinarily beautiful photographs. I shoot it with the Nikkor AF 50mm f1.8 and Nikkor AF 28-85mm f3.5-4.5. I'm writing this about a camera that is over 20 years old. I actually have three of these. That's how much I like them. I bought one new in the box, that is my backup, so that I wouldn't ever have to live life without this baby. Customer Service Never needed. |

Strength:
Intuitive and easy to figure out controls, with all the essentials (exposure compensation, PSAM modes, advance speeds, etc.) right there. This was one of the quickest cameras for me to get used to.
Weakness:
Is supposedly a 2nd generation autofocus but uses the same module as the original N2020; in other words it's slow.
I think I set a record for getting a usable camera at a bargain price; the cost being $2.47 with a tiny chip in the edge of the top frame as the only defect.

Strength:
For indoor shots ( Im a professional tattoo artist) It takes great pictures of my work with just available light. Color quality is great.
Weakness:
When I use it outdoors on auto the color seems washed out or overexposed. Ive had this camera since 1991 and still use it . Its a great camera for everyday use but if Im doing B&W fine art photos I still use my Canon A-1 from the '80's. I like the quality of the Nikon. Its a beautiful camera. And when I need a camera with full auto capacity it's great. I have a BFA in fine arts and would never use a digital.I bought it new in 1990 for about $800. Customer Service Never had to use it Similar Products Used: Canon A1 |

Strength:
1/250 second flash sync. AA battery compatibility. High eyepoint for easy viewing even for eyeglass wearers. Depth of field preview. Shutter speed range from 30 seconds to 1/8000 second. Iso range from 6-6400. Motordrive shoots at up to 3.3 frames per second. Matrix metering. (N8008s only): Spot metering.
Weakness:
Can't autofocus with Nikkor AF-S /AF-I lenses, Sigma HSM lenses. Only program and shutter priority with Nikon G lenses. Center point autofocus only. No built in flash. No built in autobracketing. (Get an N6006!) Nikon's first good auto focus film slr. The 8008 and 8008s are fraternal twins.
Customer Service N/A . I took my dying 8008s to a local camera repair shop and they said they could no longer fix it, considering it an "obsolete" model. So I sold it on ebay for parts and bought me three more working ones! Similar Products Used: Nikon N90s. N6006. |
