I called Nikon US at 1-800-NikonUS and asked about the brochure on
the N65. He found one. Looked at it and told me that it lists a
pentaprism. So..... Feel free to call them...

And here is a link to the Nikon Canadian website showing a pentaprism:

And here is the link to Nikon's own website with the spechs listing
the pentaprism. This was also confirmed by calling Nikon at 1-800-
NikonUS.

Popular Photography made that mistake. Call Nikon at 1-800-NIKON US
and they will confirm that the N65 has a PENTAPRISM and Not a
pentamirror that the Rebel 2000 has.
Another point, the Nikon N65 has a metal lensmount while the Rebel
2000 (EOS 300) has a polycarbonate one...if that's important to
anyone.

I might add, the Nikon N65 has a metal lensmount unlike the poly one
on the Rebel 2000/EOS 300.
Two very interesting reports on the N65 (F65) can be found at

I might point out three issues that lean in favor of the Nikon
N65..the N65 uses a pentaprism, the Canon Rebel 2000 a pentamirror.
The N65's AF system functions down to Minus 1 Ev (ISO 100) , the
Canon Rebel 2000 Plus 1.5 EV. The Nikon N65 has a 2.5 FPS motor, the
Canon Rebel 2000 a 1.5 FPS motor.

I have read two wonderful reviews of the new Nikon N65 at the Epinions.com site. Any other tests/reviews available for the N65

I assume by Minox you are talking about the small format Minox
cameras a nd not the 35 mm Minox cameras....
Nikon N65 vs. Rebel 2000

I agree that both are fine cameras, however, for some, the faster
motor, the 2 stops more sensitive AF system and the brighter
viewfinder because of the pentaprism (together with the important or
not..metal lensmount), make the N65 more capable, for a minor price
difference, than the Rebel 2000. Enjoy whichever one you buy!
