1opinion's Full Review: Nikon FM10 35mm Film Camera
I bought this camera at the recommendation of the salesperson. I had signed up for a beginning photography class last minute and was looking for my first fully manual camera. He immediately grabbed this camera and said 'Your photography teacher will love it. It's perfect for the first time student.' After researching other stores, brands and price ranges I decided to give in and make this purchase only on the recommendation of someone hoping to gain a commission.
Well, wouldn't you know? My instructor told me it was the perfect camera to learn on and a 'great little package.' She even suggested to those in the class that had not yet purchased theirs, to look for this one.
It is a great, lightweight camera. The directions are easy to follow even though some sentences lose their meaning in the translation. For other details, check out the other reviews here which more eloquently describe them then I can, since I am still learning the art of holding a camera ;).
The only problem I have so far is the metering light. I, and many others originally had a hard time even getting to the point where the light would come on and have many times accidently taken a photo while trying to get a reading.
