Product Description

If you want total manual control, the FM10 is a great choice. Select shutter speed and aperture. Use manual film advance and rewind manually. The Center-weighted light meter guides you towards a great exposure, but you have options to do it on your own. You focus manually and preview depth-of-field to see the image quality and sharpness. It's 100% your choice – a great way to learn and build confidence.

Weaknesses:    Plastic

Bottom Line:   
I just purchased my Nikon FM10. I got this camera because I wanted to go back to some real photography. I used to have a Pentax K1000 and Nikon FM2 but I got rid of the old manual bodies when I started buying new AE models. It is a nice camera that seems to be built better than most Auto SLR's of the same price range, not as solid as my older manual cameras were, but what is built as well these days. I also like the fact that my SB-80DX flash works on this body, ( Manual and Non-TTL auto only ) and some of my lenses for my N80 and D100. Great camera if you want to get back to the basics of photography.
