nice review, the deal breaker for a lot of film shooters is the inability to meter with AI manual focus lenses. I picked up a F90x for 25 bucks and it meters my MF lenses and shoots/focus my 105mm f2.8g VR lens flawlessly albeit in program and shutter priority modes only, which is fine.

I too went to Digital and got myself a Nikon D300 back in 2009 with most extras that one could have and I hardly use that now as I have found myself reverting back to the good old 35mm film camera which is a FULL FRAME where as my D300 is a DX not a FX to which one has to spend more money to get to the FULL FRAME camera in digital. I am 65 years old and film was the way to go and still is for me. My D300 has done just under 1600 photos and still looks new after 11 years. I picked up a Nikon F80 that had a Nikon 28-80mm lens and I got myself a MB-16 Battery Pack. With that you can use 4 x AA Rechargeable Eneloop Batteries. I still have my Nikon F60 that was my original film camera. I now would like to pick up a Nikon F100 as my go to film camera. So yes I would like to see Nikon bring out a new 35mm Film camera

But as digital became better and better this camera got used less and less until eventually I just removed the battery and stored it away. And when I am in the mood to use film I am more drawn to using either totally manual cameras or tiny point and shoots with fixed focal length lenses.

It's a sleeper. I thing a lot of people shooting film now are into a "let's make things difficult" so that it feels like "art." I get that. But when I want to do extremely technical photography, I use my D850 in my studio. When I want to just go with a feeling and not overthink my settings, I go outside and shoot film with this camera. It's dummy-proof. It meters well, it's light, it's not expensive, and it uses all your Nikon lenses you already own. The only downside is that it's not waterproof and it's not SUPER durable. But just don't get it wet, and don't drop it. Done. You said it. For anyone who wants to play around with film, this is perfect.

One major down fall for this (and many other plastic SLRs) are the plastic film door hooks that are on these cameras. They become so fragile over time that they just bound to break on you one day. I had 3 of these over the years, 2 of them had one or both hooks broke off just by sitting in my camera bag or in the cupboard over a couple of months unused. I dont think there are any ways to avoid this unfortunately.

Don't slap the door shut like you're Arnie loading magazine into a machine gun is my, err 'motto'. I agree though, I have an F100 (not exactly a plastic camera though) and I'm sometimes worried I might experience the same event at some point as entire door replacements are hard to come by. Even though I don't notice it, the plastic door is one of its major design criticisms. Why Nikon made them like that since the rest of it is made like a tank could have a cynical interpretation, the F100 with an MB-15 is more or less a docked F5 with a few niche features excluded (5FPS instead of 8, no mirror lock up and no colour matrix metering no removable prism that the more expensive F6 doesn't have either) as to not dissuade Pro users from getting the more expensive option I presume. I'm not sure about the efficacy of colour matrix metering over simple matrix either. I haven't really noticed. I have read about people successfully replacing them with custom metal hooks however. I had an F5 a while back, but not having a removable grip made it pretty heavy and rather bulky for an everyday shooter. The F100 is otherwise more or less perfect for me. I hope it never breaks! For a film camera of its kind, not that expensive to replace anyway. Amazing how low they go for now. Around £200 if you import from Japan (including duty)

Great Video!!! I know why the Nikon N80 is not as valuable as the F100. The main reason is because it won't work with the old manual focus lens. Most analog film enthusiast look for the old manual focus lenses. While the Nikon F100 will allow you to use the old Nikon manual focus lens as long they are AI. Also another downside for the N80 is that employs an Infrared frame counter to count the frames, making this camera a NO NO for those Infrared film shooters. The demand stablished by the online market has given a value to all this wonderful cameras. For example if people start ordering and looking for the Nikon F80, I'm sure the value will start going up, but sadly there is no demand. The same happens in Canon with the EOS 3, witch is value more than the EOS 1n. Why? Demand. Now the Nikon F80 will be a perfect companion for any photographer with a DSLR. Because it will use all the new AF and G lenses; and you will be able to add to your image collection the wonderful Analog look but not the ability to use Infrared film.

This is such a bargain. It's a modern full frame SLR you can pick up for 30 bucks. Think about what that would cost you in the digital world. You will be getting the same shallow depth of field with the film look we strive for in Lightroom and without the hassle - all for 30 bucks! Think about that. The only difference is you have to get your photos developed that costs money, but you could develop 50 films and you wouldn't even be halfway to what a digital full frame would cost you.
