Nikon FM10 35mm SLRs

Nikon FM10 35mm SLRs 

DESCRIPTION

If you want total manual control, the FM10 is a great choice. Select shutter speed and aperture. Use manual film advance and rewind manually. The Center-weighted light meter guides you towards a great exposure, but you have options to do it on your own. You focus manually and preview depth-of-field to see the image quality and sharpness. It's 100% your choice – a great way to learn and build confidence.

Strength:

It is a nice camera that seems to be built better than most Auto SLR's of the same price range, not as solid as my older manual cameras were, but what is built as well these days. Portland hardwood floor refinishing

I'm just a kid when i found photography. Now i am 13 and im using FM10 because it is a good SLR film camera... my dad bought it at 2001 and it is still good today. The sharpness of the picture is nice and it is full manual.

I just purchased my Nikon FM10. I got this camera because I wanted to go back to some real photography. I used to have a Pentax K1000 and Nikon FM2 but I got rid of the old manual bodies when I started buying new AE models. It is a nice camera that seems to be built better than most Auto SLR's of the same price range, not as solid as my older manual cameras were, but what is built as well these days. I also like the fact that my SB-80DX flash works on this body, ( Manual and Non-TTL auto only ) and some of my lenses for my N80 and D100. Great camera if you want to get back to the basics of photography.

Customer Service

I've never needed any, so can't answer.

Strength:

Price. Full manual control. Number of available accessories, and lenses.

Weakness:

None, I am happy with it!

My older brothers are responsible for igniting the “photographic gene” in me. It started over 15 years ago with a fully manual Russian Cmena. You had to set everything on it. Aperture, shutter, ISO, and even the focus was set by estimation of the distance. Then I upgraded to Zenit 12xp. I was taking some beautiful pictures with that camera. I sold it couple of years later in lieu of my move overseas to USA. Here I used mostly point-and-shoot cameras, until about December of 2000 when I had a bright idea of going digital. I bought Sony DSC-F505v, and it was a fine camera, but... I missed the excitement of being the one responsible for the picture, instead of some computer chip. I looked hard and long, first I wanted to get N80, but due to the lack of funds, I bought FM10. And let me tell you, this camera is everything I might, or will need until I get back on track with my picture taking. At first I wasn’t sure, because of some of the reviews in this forum, but then if you look on the “similar items used”, it is easy to see why people get to “trash” this camera. Sometimes it appears that people are waging “brand“ wars, instead of giving a fully objective reviews. Of course that’s not everybody, there are some people that give honest opinions about FM10, and to those I am grateful. Let me just tell you this much, if you want to just point your camera and press the shutter release button, move on, spend some more money and be happy. If you want to have a several hundred dollars “pendant” on your neck for everybody to admire, while you walking around the theme park, please move on. But... if you want to take back the control of your pictures, and enjoy this so rewarding hobby, go ahead, buy Nikon FM10. I guarantee you will enjoy it.

Customer Service

Not really a reason to by the product by the rating of the customer service. In my humble opinion.
