Bottom Line: Don't understand the reviews praising this camera unless they are 4-5yrs old. I now use a range of digital cameras including the Canon 10m and they take superior photos. The problem with the Nikonos is the focusing unless you use a wide angle lens and large depth of field. On average you would get 5-10 good shots from a roll of film.
It was great but just too hard nowadays.

Strengths: rugged construction. TTL. 15mm lens.Weaknesses: Although most people ignore this, this camera needs alot of care and maintenence.price of 15mm.Bottom Line: This camera has provided me with the sharpest, clearest u/w images ever. Superior optics and construction. array of aftermarket products. People should consider that this camera works as a rangefinder.

Strengths: Pretty simple camers to use. Many accessories still available.Weaknesses: Learn how to use in Manual mode. TTL often overcompensates for the divers ignorannce in not being able to fill the frame with the subject therefore the camera thinks the whole ocean, 2/3's of the planet, need more lightBottom Line: A very solid camera that can be a joy to own if you understand the effects of the ocean environmet. Can also be truly hated if you are not one to perform the reccomended maintenance.

Strengths: rugged and simple to maintain (if you take basic precautions). It has spent many hours in the bottom of a RIB.Weaknesses: Expensive 15mm lens. I understand it needs a full service if it gets flooded. I am considering a Nik IV as backup as this is mechanical and can survive flooding.Bottom Line: Stunning camera which I have used on over 400 dives. 15mm lens used on most dives. 28mm or 15mm for shark/large palegic photography. Need a big strobe.

Strengths: Strong advertising and marketing.Weaknesses: Poor customer support,always blaming the customer for negligence the reason for flooding.Bottom Line: NIKONOS V has finally decided not to continue manufacture.Major flooding has occurred to me twice in three years.
IT COSTS $600 TO SERVICE A FLOODED CAMERA.Now I finally gave up.
Nikonos Flaw not a mishap,its a tragedy.
