It is a neat little cheap/light/tiny camera. Seemed like a piece of

junk when first issued, but now it appears to be a paragon of

plastic precision and quality... (how viewpoints change...;-). Not

much in the way of controls, though you can bias the exposure

with the ASA setting. It takes all AI'd/AI/AIS/AF/E/P/I/S

Nikkors - of which there are a "ton" (see

www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/slemn.html for more on this). BTW,

within the same body dimensions Nikon built the FG with M/A/P

exposure modes and TTL flash, a really neat little camera! (I also

hated that one when it first came out, but later changed my

mind...;-) Also BTW, if you wear glasses, buy the rubber eyecup

that fits it and the N2000/2020, slice off the cup part, and mount

it backwards - this provides a nice thin rubber coat to the plastic

eyepiece and it doesn't interfere with anything...
