It is a Nikon and it does it's job well. It is a my 35mm backup. You simply cannot buy a better camera for the same money in my opinion. The critics missed the boat on this one. I love my little N55 it's not bullet proof but neither is my D40 or my Rolex.
Bad Points
It doesn't like IED's, being bounced off of the sides of mountains or thrown into moving MRAPs.
General Comments
If you want a fab 35mm for a reasonable price, then the Nikon F55 is a contender. It backs up my Nikon D40 with surprisingly similar quality and results only on film. So there, Sure the pros know F5's and F6's and they know that ordinary lad and lass shutterbugs don't start there. They start out at the beginning with an N5 or comparable and work their way up.
The N55 is a great start into 35mm film and if it gets stolen, bounced off the mountain, tossed in the Rio Grande or any other similar atrocity you might commit with your F6, your not out thousands and thousands. I doubt these elitetist critics really think or care about the average Joe or Jane startup shutterbugs who might dream about having their own Nikon one day.
I got my first Nikon when I was 60. It was an N55 and it performs flawlessly. Excellent quality, rivalling any digital Nikon in my hands. I have been a photographer since age 12.
This is my first Nikon but not the last.
On average, people found this review very helpful

The Nikon F55 has a very plastic body, which is not too much of my liking. Due to its plastic body, it is definitely the lightest SLR camera around now, weighing at just 350 grams.
