Amazon.com Review
The Nikon FM10 with 35-70 mm Nikkor Lens is a totally manual 35mm single-lens reflex (SLR) camera--great for those who want to learn the mechanics of photography from the ground up. Without fancy computerized features to confuse or override your personal artistic choices, the Nikon FM10 relies on the photographer to do most of the thinking, but it does offer a depth-of-field preview and a center-weighted light metering system. Focus and aperture are manual, and you can select film speeds down to 1/2000 second. You also have manual film wind and rewind, allowing you to create double exposures or rewind your film midroll.The Nikon FM10 has a built-in hot shoe that is compatible with just about any Nikon Speedlight flash. Also included are a carrying case, a strap, batteries, and a manufacturer's one-year parts and labor warranty.

As my point of view, for this price, the FM10 is the best equipment for going outside taking high quality shots. Whith an ideal weight, and 35-70mm lens, you can shot differents situations and places,with a little risk for your camera. I proved on Atacama desert and at 5000 meters. No problem. Hint: Do not believe much in the foto meter. Beleieve in your experience.

I've been using Nikons for over 20 years, starting with my first used and battered Ftn. Over that time I've a accumulated a dozen Nikkor lenses and numerous accessories, as well as an assortment of bodies.One thing that's been missing in recent years from the Nikon line is a reasonably priced entry-level manual camera. The cheaper Nikons have tended to be fully automated cameras, and the cheapest manual Nikon still being made was, until recently, the FM2 at well over $500. If you work the way I do, you need a manual camera and don't have a lot of use for automation and autofocusing. If you own an old Nikon and some old Nikkor lenses, you may want a simple manual camera body that can accomodate them. If you're a student starting out, or an artist on a budget, you need a manual camera. If you fit into any of these categories, the FM10 is a great choice. It may not be as rugged as a $1200 F3 or a $2500 F5, but it's well made and should last many years. I'm not a fan of zoom lenses for my own work, but the included 35-70 is a good quality lens with a useful range, and you can add more lenses if you need them. All in all, a good value and a long-needed inexpensive entry into the Nikon system.

I am a basic type, and ordered one here. It had a small malfunction, Amazon not only sent me a replacement, but a free return postage sheet to use after the replacement came.. As said if you wish a Basic no junk camera this is the one, Yes I still have the OLD 35mm Mamaya and even the Kawa .. Want a basic Nikon, do this one,. I have as well grabbed a couple used lenses 70-200 and a 75-300 that are great .. ( Now looking for a body only ) Odd Nikon body's of any type are hard to find.,. It is a Great Camera,....
AWESOME!!! June 9, 2004

This is the best camera ever, when compared to others the FM10 blew it away, the FM was much more durable and takes better pictures (my friend has one of the competitors) and now that she's seen mine, she is very jealous! The pictures are outstanding. Built to last and if you're a beginner to a pro I think you'll be pleased! I was just starting out as a photographer and now after 2 years I still can't put it down. If you're thinking about buying this camera, don't, just get it!!

One thing that the post here don't mention and I forgot is the fact that an auto wind ( Think the 11 as well as the 12 ) will work, Not that a new person would wish .. But used here are in the 85-125 range just a point this is a Nikon and not a .. .. . \ I have added 2 extra lenses to it.. way better than a ..
