Canon AV-1
is a focal plane shutter SLR camera with a TTL light metering. Production begun in the first half of 1979. I bought this Canon because I just wanted to have another item of Canon SLR brand. Why then AV-1 ? Because it was relatively cheap and had a good reputation within the cameras of it´s class. It proved very handy and easy to use. It also takes technically excellent pictures.All you need to do is turn the aperture ring on the lens to set an aperture, focus and press the shutter button. Focusing is manual. The camera does all the rest - provided the main control dial has been set to the "A" mark..It has center weighted average light metering with a back light compensation possibility. When shooting your subject under backlighting condition, you just push an extra switch to compensate the exposure. At least in Finland it was commonly bundled with Canon FD 35-70 F 1:4 zoom lens

Canon AE-1 (1976-1984)

Características

The Canon AE-1 is a 35mm film SLR camera with shutter-priority automatic exposure and manual override, produced by Canon in Japan and produced between 1976-1984.

By using a microprocessor, Canon was able to simplify the design, and by using a highly automated production process, they were able to keep costs low. The result was one of the first affordable TTL autoexposure cameras to hit the market. After its introduction in 1976, the Canon AE-1 quickly became a very popular camera worldwide. The AE-1 was replaced a few years later by the AE-1 Program.

Minolta Dynax 8000i (1990)

#124

Esta fotografia é do exemplar que possuo

Câmara gentilmente cedida por Isabel Alber

Características

The Minolta Dynax 8000i, also sold as Maxxum 8000i for the North-American market and as the α-8700i for the Asia/Pacific market, was launched as an improved version of Minolta Dynax 7000i. Both 8000i and 7000i share a lot of common features. The main improvements over the 7000i are:

faster maximum shutter speed, 1/8000 (vs. 1/4000 for the 7000i)
faster flash synch speed, 1/200 (vs. 1/125 for the 7000i)
high-eyepoint viewfinder
improved LCD screen

Fonte: camera-wiki.org

For their top-range professional cameras, Minolta used to skip a camera generation. This probably had everything to do with the development costs of such a professional camera(system). So with the x000 series came the professional 9000. This meant the x000i series wouldn't have a professional model. Minolta's solution to this was an even more advanced, advanced amateur camera. This turned out to be the 8000i. The camera Minolta should have brought out in the first place. They could have skipped the 7000i entirely and bring out the 8000i as the '7-range' model. But no, probably for marketing reasons, they first presented the 7000i and later on in 1990 the more advanced 8000i. A trick they would repeat with the 'si' series.
Essentially the 8000i is the same as a 7000i. The most remarkable difference is the shortest shutterspeed which 1/8000th of a second with the 8000i and 'only' 1/4000th with the 7000i. Also shortest flashsynchro time was 1/200th in stead of 1/125th.This probably meant the 8000i had a different shutterbox on board.
Besides this the 8000i also offered center weighted average metering (besides matrix and spot), multiple exposure, a better viewfinder and some other less relevant improvements. All this hardly justified the 1/3rd higher pricetag Minolta put on the 8000i.
A very common problem with the 8000i is the bleeding of the viewfinder readout. This results in unreadable exposuredata. An enormous drawback which affects todays usability in a serious way. So if you're looking for an 8000i check the viewfinder readout. Leave unsold if this doesn't look good.
