This is a great camera for someone who knows how to use it to its full potential. If you more or less know how to use the camera on the manual setting, in other words, controlling the aperature, shutterspeed and focus yourself; this is a great camera. If you don't know how to work those three things, you should not waste your time with it; just stick with a point-and-shoot digital camera and move on! There is no sense wasting your time with such a sophisticated camera, to take pictures on full automatic fuction & along with auto-focus to take pictures of litte Johnny in the pool; because this defeats the purpose of the camera. For those of you who know a thing or two about cameras, and basically know take pictures by controlling the type/quality of film you buy, along with the previous three things I mentioned, this is a durable, and dependable camera that will give you years of enjoyment!Read full review
if you are looking for a good solid lightweight easy to use camera this is it. doesn't have tons of features for an advanced photographer but does have the ability to take great pictures.great program modes and a good metering system. film advance is a bit slow but as long as you don't plan to take shots of super fast action you should be ok. nikons 28-80mm lens is a great lens you can't do much better. crisp detail and also lightweight great for everyday use. the nikon 80-200mm is just as good as the 28-80 with all the same good points. only negative is the zoom length.
This model deserves it's rating as one of the best later model film Nikons. I also use an N50 and N65, this body with the same lens used seems to react most quickly and focus most evenly. The color reproduction is great even sometimes under less than optimal lighting. It helps to have the manual- one tricky thing the N75 (and up) do is take all the film out of the cartridge and work backward, which can be disconcerting if you're used to usual take and rewind at the end of the roll. As alwys your lenses will determine 90% of the performance, I've found that Quantarays and Sigmas (which were in many kits) work fine for most intermediate users like myself.
I wanted a Nikon camera forever, my husband got me this one in 2004 and it is WONDERFUL. It takes excellent photos, and you really don't have to know anything about taking good pictures. But, if you want more control over your photos you can just switch the camera to manual and voila! I have used this camera for trips, vacations, holidays, you name it. I even used it for a beginning photography class at college. Anyway, if you are a beginner, or even an advanced photgrapher this camera is great. It is reliable, sturdy, lightweight, and takes great pictures.
I love this camera.The directions are easy to understand for a rookie! It takes beautiful pictures,great close up shots of my cats and grandchildren. It even has a setting that will show the individual droplets in my water fountain and When I tried that setting it worked perfectly as you could see each droplet.I love this camera so much that I just bought another one for my daughter, if that tells you anything!! A very happy Winkytulip!
I looked into buying this camera because it is quite inexpensive for the features that it has. I am a student, and needed a film camera for class. I saved as much as $100 from buying any other camera with the same features. I'm not new to cameras, I'm a long-time digital fan and have a small photography business. If given a 1-10, 10 being professional capable) rating option i would give a 7. It's not a point and shoot for the faint of heart, but it is a good camera for an up-and coming amateur.
I've been shooting with digital the last two years. Comparing with others, I'm a newbie and I always though digital surpassed traditional photography long time ago... How wrong I was!! It wasn't until recently by curiosity I started to get a few very cheap 35mm cameras and I'm amazed about the results. There is something about traditional photography I can't describe in words and it can't be replaced with digital. The Nikon N75 was -along with the super pro F6- the last Nikon SLR introduced in the middle of the digital era, and besides being a camera designed with amateurs and starters in mind, it has all the features that a professional may need. It's compatible with all the Nikon lenses since the 80's including the new VR and also it can take manual lenses but it can't metering. It has the fantastic 3D Matrix Metering for perfects exposures. S,A,M and P modes plus easy custom modes like, portrait, landscape, etc. It's super light and small and even tough is build in plastic I find it to be very good quality. For the price you can't be wrong. Do your self a favor and get one. You won't be disappointed.Read full review
This is my first SLR film camera. I am a digital person at heart but this camera is amazing! It does a great job at all of its functions. And the manual does an even better job describing how to use it if you do not understand something. The only area I had a problem with is when it is set to Manual and you have to change the F-Stop. To do this, you have to hold another button, behind the shutter button that is a little awkwardly placed and then use the command dial to change it. I couldn't count the number of times I tried to change the F-Stop and ended up changing the shutter speed. It's just something I gotta get use to. Other than that I love all of the functions on this camera and where they are placed. The pictures came out great! And the lens that comes with this camera is a very very nice lens. Very happy with this purchase!Read full review
Probably about 7 years ago, I debated whether to buy an N65, or wait until I could afford a good digital SLR. Actually, I arrived at a compromise, and got a Kodak digital snapshooter. I've missed having the control of an SLR, and happened to walk into a pawn shop and see an N65 for about $100. I really toyed with the idea of buying it, but not knowing exactly what you're getting from a pawn shop, I passed, and did some searching on ebay for Nikon Film cameras. I purchased the N75 and believe this may be the last film SLR I will ever need to buy. It has all the features I'd ever want in a camera, and I appreciate the fact that it can be set to auto for quick shots, but also allows all the flexibility I'd ever need. Exposures can be set fully manually, aperture or shutter priority, and automatic with several different modes for sports, portrait, etc. I have been thrilled with the quality of the prints I've processed so far. Advanced metering system, and again, flexibility such as being able to lock exposure. The built in flash is adequate, and a speedlight can be attached for even better flash performance in wide angle shots, etc. Certainly this camera would be perfect for anyone who wants to learn photography, and expand their range without shelling out $1000 on digital, but also is very satisfying for more serious amateurs. The best part? These very high quality cameras are an exceptional value if you're still willing to work with film. (One of my son's friends said to me, "I've never really used a film camera before, how many mega-pixels does it have?") If you are thinking about a film camera, I'd definitely recommend this one. It is the best one I've ever owned.Read full review
How times change! Now anyone who has a few bucks can shoot with the power of those who used the classic Nikon F, F2 and F3. What cost in the thousands years ago is available for under $200 and more convenient to the hand than they were. Do I like the N/F 75? Oh, Yeah. And it's lighter than my F4s. It's sweet, it's comfortable, it's competent. It's a Nikon. You want to get into serious 35mm photography? The N/F 75 is a great place to start. It has more power than the average user will *ever* take advantage of. Is it a tank? NO. Is it bulletproof? No. Is it the most versatile camera you will ever own? {probably, Yes.) Imagine a plastic camera that shoots pro-level film. Imagine buying a slide scanner with the savings. As you look through the viewfinder, Imagine..... and press the shutter button! You *will* get the pic. Whether it is good or not, I promise you, will be your fault and not the camera's. It's that good.Read full review
