NIKON FM10 35mm Camera

A good basic FILM SLR camera for epileptics

For the money, this is a good buy. You actually get a case with it, too. The camera strap triangular rings do not fit the camera body properly, a very slight annoyance.

Unlike a lot of inexpensive SLRs both the camera body lens mount and the lens bayonet mount are metal. ( The lens itself is primarily plastic but I was pleasantly surprised that the bayonet itself was metal )

From an epileptics point of view there is nothing blinking or flashing which is a real blessing! ( All there are are three exposure range LEDs visible on the left side of the viewfinder - < + O - >.

Since this camera does not have an adjustable eyepiece for the viewfinder, if you need glasses, you will also have to buy the eyepiece diopter correction lens ( Note that the value you need is for distance, not for reading so if your normal distance glasses are +2, get a +2 diopter correction lens! If you have a local Nikon dealer it is probably better to buy this locally, otherwise you may end up with a box of correction lenes )

I also reviewed the Nikon F6 SLR film camera. Too much blinking. It is trivial for these manufactures to provide an accessibility menu for people who are 1) color blind ( when there is a color display then colors should be selectable ) 2) visually impaired ( have an optional display with larger characters/numbers ) and 3) epileptic ( disable all that useless blinking ). Good luck, none of these manufactures have heard of the ADA.
