During the last few years Nikon has embarked on a complete reorganization of their photo/optics business. The goal was to restore Nikon to the number one position in the digital/analog camera marketplace with both pros and amateurs. The result of this re-organization was a group of groundbreaking...

I recently had the chance to try this new camera from Nikon before it had been released to the public. It seems as if Nikon is coming out with something for everyone these days and this camera further extends their increasing popularity and diversity. I was very happy with the results of my trial...

Pros A Worthy Introduction to Nikon's 35mm SLR System
Cons Takes away any excuses for not going Nikon
Recommended it? Yes

What a wonderful time to be an aspiring photographer. A novitiate image-maker today has never had a greater choice in cameras or seen better value and number of features for the money. Even as high tech digital imaging becomes increasingly popular with shutterbugs, conventional SLR cameras are... Read full review »

For Christmas 2001 I received/purchased the F65 (N65 in the US) as a camera that would fulfill my newfound hobby of photography. I didn't need anything fancy, but something that would provide great quality, be lightweight (for backpacking), and offered a variety of features and effects without... Read full review »

Pros Easy to use, easy to manipulate, consistently great pictures.
Cons There's a lot to learn!
Recommended it? Yes

Before you read any further, let me state clearly that I am not a photography expert. I know very little about it, and even less about cameras in general. But, when I was researching my purchase, I found loads of great reviews out there that gave me plenty of information, but I longed for someone... Read full review »

Pros Packed full of features
Cons Cannot manually set ISO (push/pull film)
Recommended it? Yes

A while back I remember getting my first SLR: the N60. As a growing photographer, I totally loved it. It had everything I thought I wanted in a camera, and I thought we were inseparable; a few weeks later we parted. In the matter of a few weeks, I was an ace at the camera (and who couldn't be?) I...

Excellent beginner SLR camera

Pros Great price, 2.5 fps., depth-of-field preview, 3D Matrix metering, Nikkor-lens...
Cons may be not enough for pro photographers
Recommended it? Yes

I was tired of less-than-great quality pictures. Yet as a beginner, I was concerned about the difficulty of an SLR. At first I wanted to buy a point-and-shoot, but I've always had those, and wanted to get better pictures.

Then I heard about the Nikon N65. With its easy-to-use buttons and... Read full review »

Great SLR body for amateurs at any level

I am an amateur photographer who occasionally returns to the hobby for the joy of it. I first took a class in middle school with an old Brownie. My parents went on their travels with Olympic cameras -- first an OM-1 and then an OM-2, and my mother shot fabulous slides in China, Nepal, and other... Read full review »

I purchased the N65 for a young nephew who's just getting involved in photography. For the most part, this camera fits his needs. It's highly automated and allows him to do high speed photography (sports), something many point and shoot 35mm cameras simply can't do.

I've been using a... Read full review »
