Good Points
Easy to use, and not too expensive
Bad Points
This camera will break in every way possible. Flimsy and non durable.
General Comments
I want to warn anyone thinking of getting the Nikon FM10 35mm SLR camera. As a photography teacher I had the misfortune of buying 20 of these cameras for my program. It wasn't long (one month) before the first one started breaking. The others quickly followed suit. Every single aspect of this camera is flimsy and weak. The lens will break, the shutter curtain, the film crank, the shutter button, the whole thing will fall apart simply by using it the way it is supposed to be used. Although it is not too expensive, it certainly becomes so since it will probably only give you 30 rolls of film before it's unusable.

I have had the Nikon FM10 SLR camera for almost 9 years. It saw me through photography classes as well as many hikes, vacations, and the first year and a half of my son's life. On my honeymoon it proved way more reliable than my brand new and very expensive digital camera. I just wanted to say how very pleased I have been with this camera.
