$30 or so and you only control the focus and framing. Try the Canon T50 with a 50mm f1.8 kit lens. Other than that, it's a great camera.Ĭanon offered the AF35ML Super Sure Shot point & shoot camera with an f1.9 lens. The default/automatic flash does really suck on the Olympus Stylus Epic.
Big aperture point shoot manual#
A bit of manual control if you want to get creative. Yashica 35 GSN.? Point 'n shoot if you want. Of course the default flash is a real bummer! But still. Its very easy to use with just one hand for a quick shot! i totally forgot about the mju-ll !Īwesome. Thus the XA will give you a sharper image once you learn to focus it. The XA is less than $100? I don't know whether to cheer or cry.Note that AF p&s cameras have stepped AF systems, meaning it focuses NEAR where the subject is, not exactly on it. The 40mm f/1.7 lens on the Minolta Hi-Matic 7sII, Vivitar ES, Revue SE, is a very good lens. I have all these cameras and in my opinion none of them are as good as the mju-II (Stylus Epic)! The Minox GT is sweet but you have to mess around with the batteries as they ran on old mercury batteries. The Chinon Bellami is tiny and sharp, you need to set the focal distance on that. The Minolta AF-C is small and sharp if you hold it still and is autofocus. It is a rangefinder so you do have to focus it. snap it up!!Īs others have said the Olympus XA is great. I've been looking for a Minolta AF-C for a very long time now and it seems they are much more difficult to come by than the XA. Amazing little camera, very handy to have with you in most situations. $10 Nikon 元5af.f2.8, and super sharp lensĭefinitely try the Olympus XA if you can. OR The Fuji 2.8 Zoom Date(Silvi) if you can get one. Some of the smaller HiMatics from the 70s, such as the E, F, or G might be a better choice in this case. I love my HiMatic 7s as well as my HiMatic 9, both of which I would assume qualify as "point & shoots" as they do have a program mode, but they are far from being in the class of compacts such as the Epic that the OP listed.
Big aperture point shoot iso#
It's slower than the 7s at 2.8, but has a good lens and is truly a point & shoot with autofocus-just set the ISO and go!

Second on the 7s because it's a great camera, but if you want something you can put in your pocket, I suggest hunting down a Minolta AF-C. It's tiny and good.Įdson_Matthews edited this topic ages ago. The max aperture is f/1.8.įor a straight-forward point and shoot, I'm really loving my sharp-as-needles Konica C35 automatic. Plus you can shoot it fully manual when you're comfortable doing that.
Big aperture point shoot full#
It's got a full auto mode which makes it basically a point and shoot. TheAgeOfAnalog edited this topic ages ago. an amazing little camera with a genius 35mm f2.8. They can be had for less than $100 on eBay, Etsy, Craigslist, etc. Might want to check that option out.Ĭheck out the Olympus XA. I bought an entry level plastic Canon Rebel for $20, works perfectly with all EOS lenses.

Not a point in shoot, but I noticed you shoot Canon. Which other cameras would you guys recommend? (below 100 dollars haha ) I am pretty much a complete beginner in terms of film photography. I am currently looking into large aperture film cameras (like Olympus mju 2/Stylus Epic).
