Key Advantages

The Nikon F65 offers a balance of manual control and automated features, making it suitable for both beginners and enthusiasts. Its compatibility with a wide array of Nikon F-mount lenses provides versatile shooting options. The built-in TTL metering ensures accurate exposure across different lighting conditions. Autofocus functionality enhances speed and accuracy in image capture. The camera's lightweight and compact design increase portability for on-the-go photographers.

Limitations

As a film-based SLR, the Nikon F65 lacks the immediacy and convenience of digital photography. Its autofocus system, while effective, is relatively basic compared to modern standards.

Battery life can be limited under intensive use with motor drive and flash. The absence of sophisticated metering options found in higher-end models restricts precision control for professional use.
