The Great Nikon N75 vs N80 Shootout!

Does the exposure comp dial not take care of this for the N75

Exposure comp of n 75 gives an effective iso range from 12-800 for unmarked cassettes.

I made my DX cassette s a few years ago and they are reusable . It doesn't take any longer to load the DX cassettes .

ic-racer already got it. Understand it is a minor limitation. VERY minor.

It is a limitation, though, as I might decide spur of the moment to shoot 1600 if something starts happening in the evening and I want to take pictures, or 400 if it's daylight. Having to pre-choose the ISO that's dx encoded limits that. IF I use exposure compensation to move the meter two stops on a 400 encoded can it works, but then I lack any further compensation in case I want to fiddle a bit with to bring up shadows it on a contrasty scene, etc.

These complaints are remarkably petty, to the point where they don't matter practically at all. I've run a few rolls through an N75 since the post you responded to, in fact, just because it's a fun and capable camera that I got, effectively, for free. You can do well with either, even if the N80 is my personal preference.

Is anyone aware of good options for wireless remote controlling these cheap cameras (like the N75)? It sounds like the N75 only allows infrared. Any way to rig up something like a Vello FreeWave Plus?

The Nikon ML-L3 works great with the N75 but not the N80.
