Help Me Decide Between N70 and A2

[Blackbelt93]

hello im a beginner to photo and buying my first slr right now i have narrowed it down to the Nikon N70 with a 50mm F 1.8 for $242 and a Canon EOS A2 body w/ no lens for $179. Which one would be the better camera and what would be better for skateboarding pictures.

Well you can't shoot anything without a lens.

N70 no doubt, at least it's got a lens with it.

it's film...they're light tight boxes that hold film.

Choose whichever one feels better in your hand.

true i suppose but i like both of them but idk which one is better

Unless you are looking to buy "new", $242.00 seems kind of pricey for a N70.

thats what i thought but now im looking at the N80 i think its a good camera and i like the feel better

I have the N70 it is a good camrea, i got it of ebay it worked good for me untill the light meter starting messing up. If you can get one new it would probably work better. I like to shoot skating too best thing ever ha
