Choose between totally manual cameras (inexpensive today) and those with some form of metering (more expensive).Published by Thames & Hudson, the book is available now for around £20. The tips come courtesy of John Wade who has a new book out titled: " Retro Cameras: The Collector's Guide to Vintage Film Photography" of which, the below extract is from. The book combines practical reference with accessible advice, quick buyers' tips and a camera care section to offer readers of any experience the right information for them to pursue this passion. No matter your reason for purchasing a vintage film camera, you need to know what to look for and, in some cases, how best to use them so we've got a few tips on both subjects to help get you started. Best case it means their RnD budget is going to shrink and they won’t be an industry leader at anything much longer.Collectors and those who are just fans of using old film cameras are keeping the second-hand camera market, very much, booming. Worst case scenario they go bankrupt destroying the value of all my gear and forcing me to switch anyway. Their losses last year were not a sign of good health for the company. Sure the quality is definitely caught up but the reality is that they don’t make shooting video nearly as convenient as Canon.ĥ. Nikon just doesn’t play nicely with video yet. Meanwhile Canon offers 1.2 primes and a breathtaking, up to date, 135 F2.Ĥ.

So was Nikon’s pro level 50mm until they finally came out with the 58mm F1.4 recently. The 105, 135, and 180mm primes are all way out of date. Nikon is well behind the curve when it comes to primes.

My portraits always seem a little lifeless in comparison from a D800 until I work in post to grade the images and rebuild the skin tones.ģ. I like how Canon cameras render skin tones. (And the D800 isn’t the only product of theirs in the last 5 years or so with crazy waiting lists)Ģ. Sitting on a waiting list for 6 months to get my D800 didn’t make me happy. Right now Nikon has a killer sensor in the D800 but other than that I feel like they are behind the game in many ways. If I could start over my photography career today I wouldn’t touch Nikon. I’m a Nikon shooter and I am constantly considering the opposite move. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think it is smart or foolish of Canon to stay away from the retro styling?

If you are not a fan of retro styling, then this is likely seen as good news, so you are not forced into buying a retro styled camera in order to upgrade to the latest tech. If you are a fan of the retro styling and were hoping for a Canon contribution, this pretty much says that is not going to happen. It pretty clearly states that Canon is not interested in, and has specifically kept its distance from the retro styling trend. The above quote was found on page 14 of an extensive product brochure released by Canon regarding the new G1 XII and its development. As a result, the design is not pretentious, and it also does not look like a so-called compact camera, and achieves a great balance between traditional and new.” However, Canon has kept its distance from this trend. “Currently there is a trend towards designing premium compact cameras like classic cameras. Those of you Canon shooters out there that were hoping for a retro design from Canon better not hold your breath, at least if you believe this statement from Canon. Fujifilm has really pushed the old styling on their cameras, and as we all know, Nikon released the Df recently as well. Retro styled cameras seem to be the “in” style right now.
