Value for money, Spot metering with D type lens, light weight, battery life
General Comments
Excellent camera, before I owned a Pentax SFx I always dreamed of owning a Nikon and the price of the F65 for it's features was excellent it's the best camera I have owned to date. I hope it will last as long as my old Pentax. It is also worth the upgrade as I have done to a type D lens which allows spot metering.

How does using a D-type lens allow spot-metering? I assumed that the camera only allowed centre-weighted or matrix metering.

Nikon F65 - Review - Goodbye point and shoot, now what?
The step up from point and shoot looks to be the Nikon F65. It is somewhat pricey but what you will get is really good for the starting amateur photographer.

Well the reason it's light and cheap is that it's mostly plastic - both outside and inside. Plastic tends to break, especially moving parts, and when it does, it usually can't be repaired. After a few years the electronics and LCD screen also go bonkers and you have a paperweight. As one of my friends put it, "There are new AF camera owners, and there are old camera owners, but there are no old AF camera owners!!"
