I was interested in getting a 35mm film camera as film has always interested me, I made the switch to digital , but actually missed film, So I started looking on ebay, for a film camera, and I saw the Nikon F90X SLR, I had used Nikon gear before and knew of the F90X So I bought one, and I am glad I did, It is well made, has all the usual exposure modes PASM etc: Flash modes too, but you need a separate flash gun, But then this was classed as a semi pro camera when it was new and they did not come with built in flashes, Picture quality is first class, an ideal camera for beginners to learn Photography, then move on to a digital slr camera, they are cheap to buy as are the lenses now, So buy one and have some fun.
Perfect autofocus with great controls for professionals or amateur alike. Camera just works, put it in A mode if you feel like quick shooting or use it in full manual for full control over your images. Insane value for money

An outstanding camera! I have aNikon D90 as well as an F100, but the F90X is still my favourite. For a top-level SLR it's incredibly simple to drive and gives perfect exposure under all sorts of testing conditions. I can easily see why this became a favourite of journalists. I now have three of these, all with the MB-10 battery grip for extra stability. If you're thinking of having one, just get it. You won't go wrong. I prefer it to the F100 because it has less complication. One big AF sensor, easy adjustments and works outstandingly well with the SB-23 speedlight, which is also very cheap now. About all that ever goes wrong on them is the rubbery coating on the film door goes "Sticky" But: It can be removed with a microfibre cloth and plenty of Isopropyl Alcohol. Just keep the cloth well soaked and rub gently. If the cloth starts to stick just apply more alcohol. Ten minutes later I've refitted it and I now have a lovely, smooth new-looking satin finish plastic film door. The alcohol doesn't even remove the printing either, just the tacky clear rubbery coating. It appears that Nikon first mould the film door then silk-screen on the white scene mode icons. After that, they spray on a matt lacquer, presumably to provide a "key" for the rubberised coating, which is applied afterwards. The Isopropyl Alcohol succesfully removes the rubber topcoat without affecting the underlying layers. I hope other users of this excellent Nikon camera find this information helpful.Read full review
This is one of the very best Nikon film cameras ever made. It has all the features anyone could wish for and the shutter speeds/ metering are particularly good. It is tough enough for top level international photo journalistic work but not too heavy. Mint examples sell for ridiculously low prices but bear in mind that this is not a point and press digital wonder. A Photographers camera!
The purchase of a second hand Nikon F90X film camera has allowed me to have the use of a first rate product which in years gone by was totally beyond my budget.Now I love that I have bought something to fuel my passion for photography and have a camera that is not going to fall foul of the current digital trend of ever advancing "must have" technology. Yet it does feel and perform just like my Nikon based digital S.L.R. Moreover I love that it is still "digital" because I can scan negatives into digital format and play with them in photoshop.The purchase I have made has placed me firmly in both camps!-Digital and Film based imagery!Gone for me the arguments as to which is best and both live on.
Bought this camera when Nikon introduced it, fits my hand like a glove, everything about it just flows. most of my work was for the Army photographing their Ceremonial Parades and Mess functions, it is a very easy camera to use, and together with a Nikon 37 - 7-mm 2.8 produced super images. Bought into Nikon digital but used the F90x as a backup until I changed to all digital. Have now retired and am trying through Ebay to replace every camera I have ever owned, would recommend this model to one and all, cheers Len
Basic but very good AF camera the 35-80 lens is very sharp even wide open the 28 200 performs better than my newer nikon fit 28 - 105 .Really nice kit not flashy but does the business at a bargain price!.I would recommend this.
I've just put my first roll of film through the camera and not yet had it developed, so cannot comment on image quality. The camera though feels solidly built and everything seems to work perfectly. As for value for money, mine must count as the bargain of the century, I made a bid which I thought would have no chance of winning, but did. My back is also not at all sticky, so that seems a bonus.
Well what can I say about the Nikon F90X, It's a great camera, it feels nice it the hand, solid with all the good features that you would expect from a top quality company like Nikon. One of the nice things is that it takes 4 x AA Batterys, so using rechargables is also a must and that make this camera very economical....
