Digital camera reviews of Nikon FM10 Camera Kit with 35-70mm Lens

Digital camera Review: A return to basics- with Nikon quality
Summary: 5 Stars

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.

Summary of Nikon FM10 Camera Kit with 35-70mm Lens

35-70mm f/3.5-4.8 Zoom Nikkor From its traditional wide angle to portrait telephoto range, this Zoom Nikkor provides a flexible and creative range for general photography. Shutter speeds up to 1/2000 second Shoot action stopping sharp pictures at up to 1/2000 sec., or achieve creative light patterns at slow speeds like 1 second. The wide shutter range will handle most picture-taking situations and works great with a wide range of ISO film speeds. Bulb setting For very long exposures, the B setting lets you capture beautiful night scenes, cityscapes with vibrant lighting, and long time exposures for creative exciting photography. A tripod is required for best results. Depth-of-field preview Using through-the-lens SLR viewing, and being able to see the range of sharpness is an exciting way for the new photographer to see what's happening. It spurs their vision and helps them make better pictures. Double exposures Double exposures can be lots of fun, and with creative thought and careful preparation, great pictures can result. Daylight, night-time and indoors Flash photography is easy and direct with the FM10. Its built-in ISO hot shoe will accept just about any Nikon Speedlight for manual flash operation or non-TTL auto. Nikkor lenses The FM10 is supplied with the 35-70 Zoom Nikkor, and there's a compatible, light and compact 70-210 lens available too.

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.
