New film cameras in 2020? Yes, it’s true. Believe it or not, there are still a few in-production film cameras available, brand new, today. And looking beyond the brand new, there is, of course, an active used market for photographers looking to dip their toes into the film photography world. Here’s a look at what’s available new, along with some recommendations for used classics.
New Cameras
Nikon F6
The only remaining film SLR in production. It hurts to say that, but it’s true. The Nikon F6 is the culmination of Nikon’s professional 35mm SLR legacy, succeeding the big and beautiful F5, the revolutionary F4, the coveted F3, the refined F2, and the iconic F. The F6 has all the bells and whistles you could ever wish for from a film camera, including an 11-point Multi-CAM 2000 AF system, 3D Color Matrix Metering, 5.5 fps continuous shooting (or up to 8 fps with the optional MB-40 grip), and 41 custom settings for configuring the camera to your own needs. There aren’t many other film cameras, if any, with this level of configurability, precision, or just sheer amount of technology. It’s a sophisticated way for Nikon to end its film-camera production, and segues well into where its digital development began.
