Nikon's enthusiast autofocus SLR — the F-801, electronic, 1/8000s, matrix metering, Nikon F, 1988.

The Nikon F-801, introduced in 1988, was an enthusiast and semi-professional autofocus 35mm SLR that brought fast autofocus and a high top shutter speed below the flagship line. It was sold as the N8008 in the United States. It belonged to Nikon's autofocus range of the late 1980s and used the Nikon F bayonet mount, part of the long-lived Nikon lens system.

This is an electronically controlled 35mm SLR on the Nikon F mount, with a vertical-travel focal-plane shutter that is electronically timed, offering speeds to 1/8000 second plus B, with flash sync around 1/250. Metering includes matrix, centre-weighted and spot patterns; exposure modes include programmed, aperture-priority, shutter-priority and manual. It provides phase-detection autofocus and integral film advance. As an electronic body it depends on batteries to operate.

The F-801 suits enthusiasts and semi-professionals wanting fast autofocus, a wide shutter range and full metering options in a robust body. It handles more like a serious tool than the entry models, with quick access to the main controls. It works with AF Nikkor lenses for autofocus and suits varied work from travel to reportage.

On the used market, being fully electronic, it needs good batteries, so test AF, the meter and all exposure modes. Check shutter accuracy across the wide range, inspect the prism and LCD, and look for perished light-seal and mirror-damper foam, common on this era. Try loading and rewind. It uses standard cells rather than mercury batteries. AF Nikkor lenses autofocus; AI-S and manual-focus F-mount lenses meter with reduced support.
