I've always had 35 mm Nikon cameras, and been very pleased with them all, the Nikon EM is quality, picture results are as good as the bigger nikons and is compact for easy carrying

These are lovely cameras but there is a common known problem... the exposure meter. I have bought 2 both advertised as in good working order... only to find the exposure meter to be faulty on both. Full refunds issued and I won't be tempted again. So fully establish the meter is working properly but my overall advice would be to avoid unless you're happy with M90!

I've experience of a few EMs. The best thing about them is they're light and permit access to the Nikkor lenses, without having to take an expensive camera body out. A frequent failure however is the exposure ring that couples lenses to the camera. It degrades such that the exposure needle "jumps" as you change aperture, not a problem in itself, but a show stopper if you alter one f stop, but the shutter speed moves five places. Just keep an eye on the shutter speeds to ensure this hasn't happened. If you're on top of the issue above, then keep shooting, otherwise, it's a distraction and a show stopper. DO NOT PAY MORE THAN £25. My first EM was utterly reliable, until I got home from one mountain walk, the rucksack flap wasn't secured, and the camera fell out on to the asphalt. No more exposure meter functionality. Of course it still offers the 1/60s speed, but that's taking me back to Instamatic days, which I'd rather forget.Read full review

Good - fits all Nikon AI and AIS lenses, so fantastic image quality is possible. The cheapest Nikon ever made - and lots were sold. Exposure down to 1 second AND shown in viewfinder (unlike Pentax MVs). Last amateur Nikon made before mandatory motor drives were introduced - so quiet in use. Bad - only simple +1.5 stop backlight control over auto-exposure which is Nikon 60/40 pattern centre weighted; OK for tolerant snapshots with colour negative film but not for accurate or creative exposure work (the FG20 model is the next cheapest Nikon which solves this last problem). No depth of field control. Small pentaprism - so only part of film area seen in viewfinder - that is darker then higher end Nikons. Ugly - prone to 2 common faults. [1] The exposure ring that couples lenses to the camera gets corroded frequently - so the exposure needle "jumps" as you change aperture. Needs a strip down to fix. [2] the plastic body gets brittle with age - look for cracks in the plastic especially around the viewfinder where flashguns have caused strain to the camera creating cracks.Read full review

This is one of the lightest and smallest SLR's, digital or analog. it's a great camera to take everywhere you go. You may think that being automatic is a limitation but it just means freedom of mind. just shoot away! If you need you can always turn the ISO wheel and see the effect on the shutter speed, inside the viewfinder. It was my instant favorite when I got it.
