	Nikon FM3A - Camerapedia.org
		Though solidly in the Nikon FM tradition of fully manual compact SLRs, the FM3a was also intended to fulfill demand for a much-requested replacement for the famous FE2, discontinued in 1989.
		In manual mode the FM3a is ready to measure the flash in TTL mode, but it also continues to meter normally, allowing the photographer to select any speed from 1 second to the top flash-sync speed of 1/250 second.
		Nikon was rumored to be considering a digital successor to this "modern classic", though this has not yet happened.

	Nikon FM3A - - PopPhotoMarch 2002
		Few would have expected, when the original Nikon FM first appeared way back in 1977, that 25 years later we would be testing what is, in effect, its great-grandson, the FM3A.
		The most obvious and operationally significant change: The FM3A is the first of the FM series to incorporate an aperture-priority autoexposure mode, settable by turning the shutter dial to the locked "A" setting.
		The FM3A is also the first of the FM series with TTL flash capability, achieved by means of an SPD cell located in the base of the body, and via a four-contact hot-shoe.

	Nikon FM3A - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The FM3A was the successor to the renowned Nikon FM2N camera of 1984 and was the last member of the successful, semi-professional line of Nikon compact 35 mm SLRs.
		Nikon owners began to demand a durable, precision-made camera with the AE electronic features and prized construction of the discontinued Nikon FE-2, which had begun to skyrocket in value on the secondhand market.
		Nikon believed that serious film photographers were not interested in every possible automated bell and whistle, but rather the highest possible quality and precision of control, and a service life estimated not in years, but decades.

	Nikon FM3A Manual SLR Camera
		And the Nikon’s first hybrid shutter control system enables mechanical shutter speed control to be operated without batteries at any shutter speed, while in A mode the shutter speed is electronically controlled for Aperture-Priority Auto operation.
		The FM3A offers photographers access to the Nikon System, which includes the professional AF-S Nikkor lens lineup and many other AF and manual Nikkor lenses, in addition to a range of accessories.
		Nikon chose durable metal for the FM3A to assure ruggedness and durability.

	BetterPhoto Photography Reviews: FM3A SLR Camera
		Nikon's FM3A, is a manual-focus, 35mm SLR camera featuring a special hybrid shutter control system enabling full mechanical exposure control range plus electronic shutter speed control.
		This Nikon series began with the classic Nikon FM2, which nearly two decades ago, was the first model to incorporate the then world's fastest shutter speed at 1/4000 second.
		I bought the Nikon FM3A, after my second hand Nikon FE died a final death and I was in the middle of a classical portraiture session at a local university.

	Nikon FM3A body short review
		The Nikon FM3A can function perfectly without batteries, mechanically timing shutter speeds right out to its maximum of 1/4000th of a second, and its all-metal body is engineered to last a lifetime.
		The Nikon FM3A is a great camera that you could use very happily for the rest of your life and then hand down to your children.
		The FM3A is not able to do so due to the fact that it has only Aperture Priority but also other modern Designs such as the Nikon F100 or Minolta Dynax 7/9 and so on will just tell you that it is impossible to shoot with the chosen Exposure time.

	Nikon FE FM FE2 FM2 FM3a
		The FA is a more advanced camera than any of these including the new FM3a and was introduced in 1983.
		The FM3a was introduced in February 2001 at the PMA show in Orlando, Florida.
		Even though Nikon deliberately cripples newer AF cameras from making full use of older MF lenses, they are decent enough to continue putting the mechanical lugs on the newest lenses to ensure that they work perfectly with older cameras.

	Nikon FM3A (Black) 35mm SLR Camera
		The FM3A continues the long line of successful mechanical Nikon SLRs, but is the best of the bunch.
		Nikon's hybrid shutter control system, without question a revolutionary watershed, enables mechanical shutter speed control without batteries while in A mode the shutter speed is electronically controlled for aperture-priority autoexposure operation.
		With its classic exterior, simple operation and compact body design, the FM3A is an ideal camera for gaining entry into the world of pure, personal SLR photography.

	APOGEE PHOTO MAGAZINE: Nikon FM3a Camera Review
		Nikon is one of the few manufacturers that has stuck with manual focus, not only in the production of a handful of cameras (the FM2, FM10, FE10 and F3) but also in the support of older manual focus lenses on currently available cameras--something that can't be said for Canon.
		Nikon's all-metal design is a refreshing change from recent moves toward plastic components, which don't survive contact with hard objects as well as solid metal.
		Those familiar with Nikon cameras know, of course, that nothing happens until the lever is slightly out from the body—a characteristic I should have mentioned to a friend who borrowed my FE2 many years ago and brought it back three days later unable to get it working.

	Discussions @ Nikonians - FM2n + FM3a and D2X or + simply F6?
		Albeit Nikon has already thought of this, and I am sure the F6 is made with the most superior quality standards.
		F series Nikons are still selling today, and film is proving itself to be a great medium to work with despite the advances in digital imaging.
		For the same reason, Nikon F6 is going to be sought after as the ultimate automatic tool for the art of 35 mm film photography as long as this art is alive — and no more advanced film camera is produced.

	Betterphoto.com Photography Q&A - Nikon FM3A
		Actually, the FM3a is a completely new body casting and mechanism, with hereditary but also completely new engineering of mechanical and electronic components.
		Also the collectibility of FM3a being the last MF camera produced by Nikon is higher value than the FE.
		Most important the earliest FM3a is only 5 years old so buying a used gives you more security in terms of defects and abuse of use.

	Nikon FE2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The FE2 is a member of the classic Nikon compact F-series 35mm SLRs and was built upon a compact but rugged copper aluminum alloy chassis similar (but not identical) to the ones used by the earlier Nikon FM (introduced in 1977), FE (1978), and FM2 (1982) cameras.
		The Nikon FA of 1983 also used this basic body design and the limited production Nikon FM3A of 2001 continued to use it until 2006.
		Nikon believed that advanced amateur photographers were not interested in every possible automated bell and whistle, but rather the highest possible quality and precision.

	Camera Review
		I have to laugh at the bogus reports of Nikon MF cameras failing - there's always one or two on all these sites, but I've never met anyone with such rare bad luck in real life, given that everyone else I know has never taken their manual Nikon in for anything more than a cleaning.
		Fm3a is designed to suit for the needs of purists, economical in every way, and perhaps, simple and just the right amount of automation to get the full out of what's called photography.
		Price-wise, the FM3A is rather steep though, considering that the only added features, vis a vis the FM2n, are the AE, exposure compensation, match-needle, DX coding, TTL flash capability and the film window at the back.

	User Reviews and comparison blog on Nikon FM2n - Photographic Camera by hower on MouthShut.com
		The Nikon FM2n is the first Nikon I own, not even a compact camera have ever landed in my care before.
		The Nikon FM2n provide useful function like the Depth of Field Preview, which is useful for photographer to know how much aperture opening is needed for a needed depth of view.
		One of the major drawbacks of the Nikon FM2n is that it will never be as useful and capable as AF bodies for fast actions.

		The Nikon FM3A is the camera Nikon should have made back in the 1980's.
		I love this camera, I've been using Nikon FM10 for years, it was a great camera, the only problem was with its view finder, it was so dark that I couldn't use it properly in dim light and this made it hard to focus.

		The Nikon S5 has a Nikkor 3x optical zoom lens that stays within the innovatively-designed wavy camera body, a 2.5-inch LCD screen on the back, and a one-touch portrait button on the top that accesses all of Nikon’s portraiture technology: face priority auto focus and red-eye fix in recording and lighting compensation in playback.
		The Nikon S5 may not be able to wirelessly transfer pictures to a computer, but it comes at a much cheaper $349 retail price.
		Included in the box is the Nikon CoolStation MV-15, which charges the battery and provides the access point to connect to the television, computer, or printer.

		The Nikon is great, but you also have the Nikkor lenses with a premium price too.
		Nikon has a pedigree second to non and all of ther cameras seem to have a durability that just keeps on going.

		To my knowledge, Nikon is the last company that is still developing (not just manufacturing) manual SLR cameras.
		The oversized and clearly marked dials of the FM3A are a joy to operate.

		I agree about the autofocus, obviously my FM3a doesn't have it but my D70 does and when I had my lenses mounted some used to hunt a lot.

		When using dedicated Nikon flashguns, the SB-28 and SB-50X, if this button is depressed, the sensor monitors the degree of flash illumination exposed on the film surface during exposure.
		It is substantially less than the Nikon, with a price tag of just 230, but it is battery dependent and does not have the same build.
		The Nikon FM3A is an excellent camera, and one you should consider if you are serious about your photography.
