Advantages: Basic, Robust, Perfect for Beginners
Disadvantages: Basic - Lack of features may frustrate enthusiastic or professional photographers.

...talking about film cameras, the Nikon F80 (also known as N80 in the states) is particularly new as it came onto the market in the year 2000. In terms of camera models, that may seem like a long time ago, but wit ... Read review

I have an F55 - mainly because I managed to buy it off someone complete with a 28-100mm for £10, I sold the lens and use my higher quality lenses purchased for my digital Nikon's on it. I bought it last year and still haven't managed to finish 1 roll of film yet - I'm being picky so as not to waste processing costs! I'm one shot off finishing the roll in my Nikon EM too. by JLRphotography

I bought my first Nikon F3 in 1981 as a replacement for my excellent but ageing OM2n. I had only a few AI lenses to start with, a 28mm, 80-200 , a 2x converter and a Panagor Micro 90mm/2.8. Over the years, I have also moved from film to DSLR and own th ... Read review

Sorry, but you've not really gone into any detail about your opinion of the camera's various functions. How easy is it to load film (I'm assuming this is a film camera rather than digital)? by sandemp

Advantages: Compact stare of the art (for 1974) still to be reckoned with
Disadvantages: Isn't digital and never will be

The Olympus OM-2 is my all-time favourite 35mm film camera body. Historically, Olympus were known for producing excellent small cameras, either in ‘compact’ full frame, or half frame format. Whereas most other SLR manufacturers were trying to make thei ... Read review

Advantages: only thing it lacks is m/f ,and that adds to the fun of taking the shot.
Disadvantages: if it breaks you might as well buy another,but read that they keep going so not too worried

I read quite a few reviews before purchasing a T90 six months back ,was a hard call ,i wanted a camera i could carry as a backup that could also serve as a full frame shooter rather than spend shedloads more money on ultra wide lenses.i narrowed my choice ... Read review

I was bought this camera for my A levels, and initially i didn't like it. It seemed blocky and heavy, but that was compared to a DSLR. It didn't take me long to get to grips with the camera, and the quality of my initial shots I felt was great, and I car ... Read review

Disadvantages: Noise in low light, Too many buttons, Badly laid out, Too many gimmicks

The E-30 is Olympus's own stepping-stone between the so-called "prosumer" models (what an awful word) and the E-3 professional SLR, being loosely comparable with the likes of the Canon EOS 50D, the Nikon D90 and the Sony Alpha A-350. It shares a lot of th ... Read review
