Talk:Nikon FG

Contributer 4.240.242.185 is wrong to say that the Nikon FG's resale value is poor. The FG has held its value just as well as most other SLRs of its era. A chrome FG body that sold new for $149 from the photo retailer B&H Photo in December 1984 was $149 in EX+ condition from the used photo dealer KEH in December 2005. Compare this with a chrome Canon AE-1 Program: $170 new in 1984, $179 EX+ in 2005; Minolta X700: $180 new in 1984, $179 EX+ in 2005; Pentax Super Program: $190 new in 1984, $144 EX+ in 2005; or even the professional level Nikon F3HP: $435 new in 1984, $449 EX+ in 2005. Only in comparison with the rarer and collected Nikon FE2 ($218 in 1984, $299 in 2005) does the FG look inferior. If anything, the FG's price to value ratio is superior to any of these other SLRs. The unloved Nikon of this era is really the FA: $399 in 1984, $286 in 2005. Note that the prices of all film cameras of the 1980s have been dropping precipitously as they become too old to repair and digital photography takes over.

Commencing clean-up
This article required extensive clean-up and additional sub-headings to make it easier to read. Starting 26/11/2008 I will attempt to re-format this article and include relevant references where missing. I also will add some images of the Nikon FG and relevant accessories from my provate collection.
