Nikon N6006 Film Camera

Pros: A reliable SLR with a thoughtful feature set, excellent flash features
Cons: Auto focus getting long in the tooth,

A good slide show is a joy forever; a bad slide show is just bad. I've seen both, more the latter than the former. Presenting such a show is a risk every time I put one together. I know. My name is Dave and I'm a slide show junkie.

I enjoy...

Pros: durable
Cons: slow AF

I bought my N6006 in May 1991 from the United States of America. I had earlier studied different cameras in the camera shops here in Finland and after this I decided the N6006 was what I wanted. At the time I did not know anything about cameras so this...

Pros: Sensible controls, smooth AF, many control options
Cons: Plastic and adhesive construction

I used a N6006 for about three years. It was an excellent entry-level camera for a passionate student of photography to cut his teeth on. The camera offers a smooth spectrum between fully automatic everything to fully manual everything. I liked being...

Pros: Quality and the ability to use old MF lenses
Cons: Slow AF and really noisy

I bought this camera 2 years after its introduction in Sweden after considering the N8008s/F801s since it included most features I needed of a camera (the lack of a DOF-preview and the ability to use standard AA batteries did not bother me at the time)....

Pros: Durability, easy of use, autofocus
Cons: 6V battery, autoexposure (at times)

No longer in production, this Nikon entered the market in 1990 as an affordable camera for those interested in moving to a more automated camera. It was my first step into the world of *technical* cameras after 20 years using only manual 35mm's.

Pros: Solid, customizable, full-featured
Cons: Hard to find new, a bit heavy, no "easy" user modes

The Nikon 6006 is a solid, fully featured camera, and is a good choice for the novice to intermediate photographer.

I was shopping for a new camera for my brother the other day and was somewhat disappointed with the low to middle end...

Pros: lightweight, options
Cons: hard to learn for a novice

I married into this camera about two years ago. My husband is absolutely in love with it. A year ago, our home was broken into and it was stolen. Immediately, my husband went on a search to find a replacement. Since it is no longer in production,...

Pros: Great entry level camera that won't leave experienced shooters wanting
Cons: Poor film door design can be broken with repeated wear.

If there was ever a camera to take a snap shooter to the pulitzer prize in photography, its this camera. Nikon didn't put any fancy bells and whistles on this camera, its just a quality automatic camera that can be run in full auto, full manual, or in...

Pros: Great features! Awesome technology!
Cons: Plastic film door catch that keeps breaking -- questionable design quality

Overall, the N6000 and N6006 are both great, amateur-level SLR's. I owned an N6000 first. I loved it! The only thing I wanted that the N6000 didn't have was auto-focus. So, I bought an N6006. However, one week prior to purchasing the 6006, I was...

Pros: Easy to use, has everything you need
Cons: won'e mount non-AI lenses

The N6006 is extremely intuitive to use and is extremely well designed. The aperture is adjusted using the aperture ring and the multi-command dial, when in manual mode and shutter priority mode, emulates a traditional shutter speed dial. The display in...

Pros: Price, features
Cons: Slow auto-focus

Ten years ago, I decided that it was time to upgrade to an auto-focus SLR. I had lots of choices, but the one that caught my eye was the new Nikon N6006 (or the F601, as it is known in Canada). After spending my savings, I was the proud owner of a F601...

Pros: solid performance
Cons: slow by today's standards

The camera has variable modes. Some of them are manual, apperture pr., shutter pr., plus 2 programms. There is also a built in flash. It is a excellant product,performs in any situation.Excellent built-in flash performance. It is pretty cheap and there...

Pros: great looking pictures, great for novices, not too expensive
Cons: heavy, bulky, doesn't have all those professional features if you need them; replace batteries a lot if you don't turn it off

My Nikon 6006 takes beautiful pictures; I don't.

I don't know about focal lengths and aperatures and shutter speeds and ISOs. I'm pretty good at making sure the entire head of the person I'm photographing gets into the picture (unlike my Dad...

Pros: Built in flash. Sturdy. Looks good. uses Nikon Lenses.
Cons: No socket terminal for off-shoe flash

I've used all the popular brands of cameras and my favorite cameras are: The Nikon F2 and the Nikon F-601 ( or N6006, American version ). I'm picky and want something well built. This is what a camera should feel like. The n6006 is aerodynamic, and ...

Pros: Good solid design - many auto/manual options
Cons: Door latch; battery life

This was a good, reliable camera, with a convenient built-in flash, but using it really eats the batteries of course.

Like many other N6006 (F-601) users, my door latch broke 18 months ago and I haven't used the camera since. However, today...
