Best 35mm film camera under $50
First, understand the limitations of a film camera. You're not going to get great actions shots. If you want action photos get a Nikon D40 with 35mm 1.8 lens.
What I like:
• The N80 is similar to my Nikon D90, separate aperture and shutter speed knobs.
• The camera loads and rewinds film by itself.
• Camera auto selects ISO based on film.
• I can use AF-D type lenses!
• It works great with SB-600
What could be better:
I wish that the flash sync was 1/250 second. However, after using the camera outdoors I found 1/125 very sufficient.
I love this film camera. Sure, I wish I could own the F6, but that's $1600 used. I'm currently using the N80 with DX 12-24mm f/4, 50mm af-d 1.8, and 70-300mm f4-5.6. I have no regrets buying this camera and it works great.
I presently own D40, D90 with hte following:
• 12-24mm f4
• 18-55mm VR II
• 35mm 1.8
• 50mm 1.8
• 55-200mm VR
• 70-300mm f4-5.6
• SB-600 and SB-700
