What is a good SLR Non digital camera to purchase for a beginner?
I am going to begin photographing as a hobbiest. I am attending a convention in which old and new SLR cameras will be sold. I am aiming for a Nikon or Canon. What is a good model to purchase? Keep in mind that I do not want a Digital Camera.
There are several 'generational' issues to consider:
Generation 1 - completely manual - focus, exposure control, flash, the works. Major sub-generations are before and after through the lens metering (TTL) introduced in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Leave the earlier cameras to the collectors, and consider only the later versions.
Examples:
Canon F-1, FT-b
Nikon FM2, FM2n, FM10
Pentax K1000
Ricoh KR5, KR10
etc.
Generation 2 - Centre-weighted or spot auto-exposure. Essentially these have a single cell exposure meter. It adjusts either the shutter speed (called aperture priority AE) or the lens aperture (shutter speed priority AE),
Examples
Canon AE-1, A-1 (has both aperture and shutter priority)
Nikon FE, FE2
as well as other similar cameras from other makers.
Generation 3 - Program mode auto-exposure, often with the introduction of more complex matrix metering. This requires more than one metering sensor, and will generally give better results.
Most program mode cameras also offered manual and a non-program AE mode.
Examples:
Canon AE-1 Program, T90
Nikon FA, F3
Generation 4 - Auto-focus lenses. Canon bit the bullet and introduced a completely new lens mount for their autofocus range, as did Yashica and Contax. Nikon and Pentax modified their existing lens mount, allowing owners to continue to use older manual focus lenses. Also a major water-shed for some makers, who left this market to the major players.
Canon - EOS range, aka Rebel
Nikon - F4 is the first 'professional' autofocus body. Consumer bodies worth considering are the F70, F80 (N80 in the US), F90x (aka N90S) and N100. I would pass on the Fx5 series, the F50 and F60. Note that the F70 is seen as a bit of an odd-ball, with a quite different LCD display. I have one, and as Nikons go you could still do far worse.
While I have examples of bodies and associated lenses across all four generations, if you are a beginner, I would recommend a Generation 4 camera. I don't know the Canon range well enough, but the F80 or F100 would be good choices from Nikon in that generation.
If you are considering a Generation 2 or 3 camera, my picks would be the Canon T90, Nikon F3, FA or FM2n.
Good hunting.
