Default Any camera experts in yet?

I was given this camera years ago by a client, just wondering if it was any good?





Is it anything special?

Only thing wrong with it is the door on the back, the little clip that locks it shut has snapped off........

Can this be repaired?


Cheers.....

In its day it would have been, its been out performed by modern digital camera's.

Bung it on Ebay, as it is, someone will have it.

Similar to this? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nikon-F601-N60...QQcmdZViewItem

You might do better listing the lense separately from the camera body.

Why is the lens a good bit of kit then??

Well being honest unless i can get good money for it, i'd prefer to repair it..


Whats it worth anyway out of interest?

Wouldve been the bollocks when people were using film, but nobody does now.

Deffo sell the lense seperate, thats still good, and lenses are interchangable between cameras so wont make anything worth less, as pro snappers take various size lenses with them to every shoot.

Should be able to get it repaired fairly easily. Have a look on the net for a nikon service centre.

As said was a good camera in it's day but tbh probably still takes just as good pictures as the top of the range ones today.

Get it fixed and start taking some photos

If you're borrowing the Mrs. you may as well borrow my cameras as well? Save you having to get that one fixed







By the way, can you ask your mrs if she's still on for tonight? I would phone her but i cant be fucked to listen to her waffle on again.

Look, I tried to show her my "grand piano" but she told me she'd never seen such a fine specimen and that if she learnt to play it she wouldnt know what to do with you anymore
