This is not even a real Nikon, it's made by under contract by another company. Very flimsy and not worth it at half the price. Save your money and get a used FE, FE2, or FM. Less money and twice the camera.

This is one of the best film cameras I've owned. It's a little heavy, but not too heavy, it's great looking and above all, you are the one that takes the photos. It's full-on manual, so if you're a novice, I'd recommend trying some other less expensive film cameras, before you buy this one. It's long lasting and really, it's just great. I highly recommend it. This camera has been with me for 4 years and it works perfectly and it's in perfect condition.

Used for a photo class, the camera has a nice feel and rubberized for grip. The only complaint I have is that the meter tells me that I am underexposing whenever I get to 1/2 or 1 sec exposures. Usually I just work around this though.

I like it as it's easy to use and has that retro look... good for those who wants to go back to manual in this digital age..

What a better way to remember one's travel excursions then taking great pictures with a great product. Even great to take pictures of one's family.

I purchased this system for my daughter who is just getting started in photography. Personally I shoot digital, however I felt an all manual film system is a good way to get the basics down.

I've used this camera extensively, in my own home and in travels all over Spain and the city of light, Paris, France. It is easy to use, but you have to be thoroughly familiar with F-stops/ shutter speed/film ISO combinations to really take advantage of its versatility. The 35-70MM lens is convenient, particularly when you are experimenting with camera angles and frame composition. The razor sharp, full color prints are a delight to see. The depth-of field preview lever is a plus! Not for the point-and-shoot crowd, but a powerful tool in the hands of a serious amateur and professional.

Initially purchased for beguiner's astrophotography with results better than expected. Got stolen with extra Nikon lenses. Friend presented me with camera 3 times the price, not the same results. So I purchased a socond one & I'm back with my usual astrophotography to satisfaction. Handy and good for wide variety of use. Priece: unbeatable.

Despite what you might read elsewhere, this camera is terrific. It offers an all metal Nikon F-Mount (that means nearly every Nikon lens ever made will work with it), easy-to-understand light metering, a decent lens and a FANTASTIC PRICE! No, it's not an FM3A, but it takes great pictures in color or B&W. BE WARNED: THIS CAMERA IS FULLY MANUAL. YOU'LL HAVE TO SET ALL THE SETTINGS YOURSELF. That's pretty cool though. If you'd rather not spend a few days or weeks experimenting with a camera and learning the basics of 35 mm camera operation, this camera is not for you.

It does have a plastic body shell, but I have read that the chassis inside is actually made of aluminum. I can't confirm that, but I've not had any problems with durability.

Bottom line: If you want a FULLY MANUAL 35 MM CAMERA at a super price, especially if you're a beginner, this is designed for you.

I absolutely love mine!

This camera was originally purchased for a photography class and has since been used during travels to Paris, Amsterdam and throughout the U.S. The camera is lightweight but not lightweight in picture quality. It's a dream!

I really love this camera. It takes great pictures, allows you full control of your exposures and gives you the feeling of having taken the shots yourself, not just the old point and shoot. While the controls are relatively simple and with some patience and the manual anyone can learn to use it, the FM-10 is definitely suited to someone at least moderately familiar with camera functions, principles and design because it is completely manual (the camera really does not do anything for you, you are in control of each shot).

I actually bought this camera a few years ago when I first became interested in photography. Now I am buying another one so I can have a color camera and a B&W camera! I looked everwhere for another camera that was comperable to this one and everything now is made of platic and has automatic features which I hate. This camera is perfect for anyone who doesn't want to cheat and wants to feel like THEY are taking the picture not the camera. And it most importantly it's affordable and easy.
