    Good Points: Easy-to-use, durablity, compact, it's a Nikon, every feature you could need if using it professionally.


    Bad Points: Has a little metal, so it's not all black body, but I don't care.


    General comments: This is my 2nd Nikon FG-20, my first was stolen. I bought my first one with my first paycheck from my first job and used it for 9 years with an Albinar 50 mm. I JUST got my second one on eBay yesterday and it's perfect, I love it. It can be manual or auto and has every feature to experiment with photography.

    I bought my Nikon FG20 35mm SLR camera in 1993 with my high school graduation loot, when it was already 11 years old. It has served me well all this time and I wouldn't trade it for the world. It's durabilty has survived falling off rocks hiking in the mountains (I broke 3 fingers), hell once I fell off an ocean jetty (yes I stuck the camera in the air so it wouldn't get wet). I often take my FG20 with me to get shots that I couldn't otherwise get with my Mamiya Pro TL.

    £150 with "50mm Nikkor A" back in 1985, was a good price. Mechanical shutter speed of 1/90th sec is handy for battery failures. My Nikon FG20 developed a problem with the electronic shutter whilst under warranty, I upgraded to a Nikon F301 after 9 months. Nice camera though, a good intro to Nikon cameras. I will get another one to use as a backup body.

    Very compact, light, and fast enough for most action sports. Lenses are cheap. Good camera overall.

    Good Manual camera with manual shutter option (1/90th sec) and analogue light meter. Manual wind on and manual focus makes it very accurate. Was expensive when I bought it. I would need an FM2 to replace it properly.
