Nikon FG-20 is a small compact 35mm film camera. I personally own 2 which I use each with a different lens, one with a wide angle 28mm and the other with 105mm lens. Depending on the subject I am taking picture of, I can just pick the lens which gives me the best formatting. This camera is a good one to learn the techniques of shutter speed versus lens aperture and the tradeoffs of lighting. For someone just learning photography the FG-20 is selling inexpensive at e-Bay. Of course the biggest drawback is that you have to develop the film to see your results and most people now want a digital camera to see instant results. However, to get good resolution and quality in your pictures, a digital camera needs to have 20 Megapixel capability and you will be paying close to $700 for a good Nikon digital. You now can buy an FG-20 with a good lens for a fraction of $700. In summary, the FG-20 is an excellent camera to learn photography and will not cost too much.Read full review
Now the bad news. If you are buying this camera from someone who doesn't know anything about cameras, be very careful. The shutter and kight meter are electronically controlled and the electronic contol aperatus frequently goes bad. When this happens, the shutter will only function on the M92 shutter setting which is too slow for most film and tends to overexpose your pictures. I presently have two of these cameras that have this problem, although I have had fairly good luck with taking pictures outside. I was quoted a price of $179.00 to repair the camera. However, if you can get one of these in good working condition it is an excellent camera. It is compact and easy to use and will acommodate all Nikon lenses. As in all purchases, ask yourself why the person is selling it. If it's a good camera, and functioning properly, you will love it.Read full review
the camera is easy to use, take good quality photos and is fun to use.not too heavy but not too light. this product is about the same when it comes to other products. not to much money. happy it came with more lenses and some film. the film still worked and was not too old.
