The overriding philosophy of Photrio is to enable people like you to obsess in your most driven desires. You have come to the right place for encouragement. Besides if you do not do it, who will?

It's true, nobody here will stop you from being obsessed, as long as you don't get abusive or political.

A wonderful place!

F75 is quite a rare camera in the UK, certainly in comparison to the F55. I wonder how many were sold. Perhaps if you could afford a F75 it wasn't that much of a stretch to go for the F80 or even a digital bridge camera. If your budget only extended to a F55, digital was still a few years away.

As I understand it, the F75 was the last consumer or proconsumer AF camera designed and released by Nikon, 2003. Had most of the features of the F5, was not weather proof and had a slower FPS rate. Being late in the film camera run I guess it was not make in great numbers.

I think the N75 are pretty common on the used market in the USA. Mostly silver ones. There are seventy on ebay right now.

In the rest of the world they were black and called either U2 or F75.

Exactly. According the chart posted earlier, the only camera Nikon brought to the market after the N75 was the F6 which was the last one (for good?).

In 2003 my girlfriend won the just released Tamron AF 28mm to 300mm Zoom lens which was not available for my Minolta X11, so my choices of cameras to buy was the Canon or Nikon. I choose the Nikon N75 and never regretted the decision. I have also keep the same girlfriend.
