Nikon F70

Good – I bought my F70 over ten years ago and it still works and has never broken. I have put a lot of film through it over the years. As with most 35mm film cameras, the viewfinder is large and provides plenty of scope to manually focus subjects. You can probably only buy these second hand now but if you do you will know you are getting a camera that will last a long time. Would be ideal for those interested in experimenting with 35mm film. Well engineered. Still works after 11 years.

Light, basic and easy to use for the beginner.

Date stamp and panoramic mode on 'D' type, (F70d) Shutter 'slap.'

Need to press 2 buttons (and use two hands) to change even basic settings.
