[net.rec.photo] Nikon EM question?

rrb (07/01/82)

I have heard some bad comments of late, especially on the net, about 
the Nikon EM.  A while back I purchased one for my brother who wanted
a 35mm SLR which was simple to use and not expensive.  Several people
I knew owned the EM and raved about these very features!  So far
my brother loves it and it has performed equally well.  Could I ask 
you people to elaborate with some clear facts why you downgrade this
low cost alternative for novice 35mm users?  I have attributed most 
of the talk to the fact that most of us more advanced photographers
would like more control and features in a camera.
