F5 Camera Body
Strength:
The F5 is a true professional camera. The design is simple and easy to use, offering numerous creative options
Weakness:
No problems so far, just perfect pictures. I love my Nikon F5. It is the camera I trust to capture great predictable images every time. When in doubt the F5 comes through every time. Along with the SB-28 tricky fill flash situations are no longer a problem. The camera set up is very simple, which allows the photographer to make a great deal of creative choices. However, it is equally impressive in program mode. Finally I have to mention the metering system in the camera. The 3D color matrix meter is worth the price of the camera alone. Color as well as black and white come out looking fantastic. I can honestly say that the F5 is my most dependable and favorite camera to shoot with. Similar Products Used: I have tried numerous cannon bodies, such as the Cannon EOS 1, 1N, & Nikon N90 |

Strength:
The RGB metering system is fantastic for landscapes, it is almost impossible to fool.
Weakness:
Only with the vertical shutter lock ring. It's too easy to accidently unlock the vertical shutter while hand carrying the camera. This causes unwanted photos of the ground, the sky or someone's rear end while walking. Great camera with a fantastic metering and AF system. The AF system is faster than manually focusing the lenses. Dynamic autofocus is great, keeps what you want in focus at all times (when used properly). Customer Service Haven't needed it. Similar Products Used: N90s, also N70 for backup when using the N90s. The N90s is now the backup. Many other Nikon cameras all the way back to |
