There are a lot of good cameras available at the moment. Most of these are made in Japan, but there are also good quality models from Germany and USA. We have investigated a range of different models to see which is the best value for money. After a number of different tests and interviews, our researchers recommend the Olympic BY model as the best auto-focus camera available at the moment. It costs $200, although you may well want to spend more on buying additional lenses and other equipment. It is a good Japanese camera, easy to use. Equivalent German models tend to be heavier and slightly less easy to use whereas the American versions are considerablely more expensive. All the people we interviewed expressed almost total satisfaction with it. The only problem was a slight awkwardness in loading the film. |
