The light meter system is a bit cumbersome already when compared to all of the SLRs I've used through the years, but I can set the exposure on a subject, take a picture, and check the exposure before taking the next shot (same subject) and get a totally different reading just monents later. I purchased this for my son who was taking a beginning B&W photography class at our local community college. And I'm not talking one or two F-stops, this thing goes from a 'green light' at F4 at 1/60 to showing overexposed at F22 at 1/2000. Prior to making the purchase I read reviews from multiple sources and while most had good things to say, quite a few mentioned a faulty/poor light meter system. I made the purchase anyway, hoping to get a good one, but it was not to be. It is so unreliable that I had to buy a hand-held light meter just to get my son through the semester. And you can bet this camera will be returned for repair/replacement once his class is complete.
product works great and i love it there was a little bit of a shipping delay but he made sure i got it
Does someone at Amazon want me to accidently assume this is a digital and buy one. I rate this with ONE star because it is not adigital. WHAT IS WITH THIS. What is with this. I come here to Amazon and type in DIGITAL SLR and after browsing through several I come to this one. Can't hardly be an accident someone somewhere plays games so things will come up whether it fits search perameters or not. this is so wrong I think
I am really like this camera it has all the bells and whistles. The photos come out great. I got this as gift and I just wanted to let peopl know it is good choice
It's solidly made with a great hand-feel. My V3800N was my very first camera purchased so that I could have a fully manual camera for my Photo 1 class. Although I haven't used it in a while, I still love my little Vivitar and have plans to take it back out again. It's an excellent beginner's film camera. At at tasty price point, it's well worth the gamble because I promise it will pay off.
