Nice Camera2007-06-20
I really like this particualr Camera, I recived it for after completing a photgraphy course and enjoy taking gorgous photos at night.
Beautiful camera my Nikon N552007-02-18
Nikon is a perfect choice for any kind of camera. I needed this camera for a photography class at my college. Since I already have a digital Nikon, I decided to stick with Nikon and get the SLR 35mm camera. It's a perfect choice. I am using the camera for complete manual use and function. It's a little tough at first but like anything, you get the hang of it. I recommend using the automatic functions but dont be afraid to dable in the manual area. You might like what you see! Beautiful pictures, especially when I use black and white. Enjoy this piece, it's a great investment.
Great SLR Camera for the price2007-01-03
Great camera, the only downsize is that you can't select ISO speed.
A Great beginner SLR camera2006-02-06
I bought this camera to learn how to take great pics. This camera is definitely worth it. Especially for the price it sells for nowadays (I paid nearly $300 for mine when I got it). The N55 takes great shots and is easy to learn on. After using this camera I feel I am ready to upgrade in the near future.
There are problems with this camera that Nikon has acknowledged. After 3 years of using this camera (I think) my camera is exhibiting these autofocus problems. Go to this link if you are having an issue and Nikon will fix your camera for free, or refund you if you've already had this problem fixed and paid for it:

Love Nikon2006-01-18
I bought this camera because the price was so low ($199 with the lens) and I wanted to be able to print very large sized photos. I specifically got this to take on a trip to Austrlia and then Nova Scotia. I also took my digital camera as well. of course the prints from this camera are far more beutiful then the digital camera, there is just something about film. I wonder how far off we are from it being gone all together.

I love the auto mode, and I love the manual focus. It's simple to use but flexible if I want it to be. A great camera.

Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents. In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...

(The camera also acts as a VCR, so you can play back and watch what you have already recorded through the view finder). White Balance - If you ever ended up with yellow-tinted video, chances are you forgot to white balance. It's worthwhile to white balance every time you use your camera to get the highest quality video. If your camera doesn't have this feature, it may have an automatic or internal system. What white balancing does is adjust the intensity of the colors being recorded according to the existing light. Make sure you white balance every time the lighting conditions change; if you record video inside and then go outside, your lighting conditions have changed and you need to instruc ...
