Nikon F 65 DATE

As some of you may already know I recently had my Nikon F60, brand spanking new, SLR camera stolen.Yes stolen, removed, taken, permanently borrowed. I ended up cameraless, coming to the end of my two-year Alevel photography course with very little photographic equipment and two major portfolio deadlines creeping up on me. One week later Valentines Day arrived (not relevent to my stolen camera you may be thinking, but it was) sitting beside my beautiful red rose and box of choccies was a brand new,still in the box, Nikon F65(yes that’s a whole model up from the original). That’s right, my ... more

I have always had an interest in photography, and had built up a good collection or equipment based around my Canon 1000FN camera. This camera served me well over 8 years, but when the biggest of my two lenses broke I felt it was time for change into the digital age. I don’t have that much interest in photography now, but I would still miss not been able to take decent pictures when the occasion called for it.

I have owned this camera for a good 4 years now and is had been the best Film SLR I have come across yet.

It also gives you the great option of compensating so that the negative doesn't become too dense. The camera allows you to ... more

An excellent introduction to SLR Photography. This camera has all the capabilities of more expensive Nikons but without the hefty price tag. To start with, the quality of prints you get from the F65 is superb. Colours are beautifully matched and the focus, even on Automatic, is excellent. The camera itself is easy to use once you've had a quick read of the manual because there aren't so many buttons. Don't let this fool you into thinking that the camera lacks functionality. Of course being an SLR it is fully manual if you want it to be - changing the shutter speed and the aperture size. But ... more

My wife bought me the Nikon F65 for my birthday, for the uninitiated in cameras it is an "entry level" as they call it SLR (Single lens Reflex) camera. The only real competitor in the market to it is the Canon EOS 300. After a great deal of deliberation, by me not the wife, she was just paying….. I decided on the Nikon for, as it felt like a proper Camera, solid bodied and robust to the touch. The canon has I believe won best SLR for the last two years in a competition run by amateur photographer, but apart from that accolade when you actually hold the two cameras together the Nikon wins ... more
