Hello /p/, I've never been to this board before so sorry if I don't talk the talk or whatever.

My uncle gave me an SLR camera the other day; with a little research I found out its a Nikon FA. He bought it back in the 1980s and never used it. It's in excellent condition with a bunch of lenses and some straps and a case.

Is this camera any good? Or is it outdated and should I just throw it away? I'd like to start using an SLR for travel snaps and stuff like that.

Thanks for your opinion, /p/. I trust it better than the whitewash on Wikipedia anyway.

generaly the film you use and the lenses you will make the most difference in shots. the camera body as long as it still functions well, should be able to handle what ever you throw at it.

All cameras are good. If you decide you want to get rid of it, don't just throw it away, sell it on ebay or craigslist so at least someone can appreciate it rather than end up in a dump.

Nah I should have phrased that better, I'd sell it if I didn't want it.

Looks like I'll be keeping it anyway.
