The N2000 has to be one of the best-built cameras, truly a workhorse. It has an electrical shutter release cable so disassembly is not required for connection to the timing circuit and with a top shutter speed of 1/2000th second, the pictures are frozen with absolutely no blurriness. It has a built in motor drive at about 2 frames per second to capture many shots during the burn of the motor. This camera has flown many times on my Level 2 certification camera rocket, the Nike 2000, named after this camera. The rocket has had some difficulties and has crashed when the recovery system failed, but the camera continues to work. I no longer fly this camera but would highly recommend it for rocket aerial photography. Its only disadvantage is that it is somewhat heavy.
