 makarov417's recommendation | |
The X-700 is a sturdy and rugged camera. Mine survived a 5 month trek through Eastern Europe and The Mediterranean without a hitch! Easy to use and has a bright view finder window and... it's attractive too!
I have had two of these cameras. The first one was sold in Greece during one of my many financial crisis but it was still a solid, super camera. I replaced it 15 years later with another used one. NO bad points... none.
A super camera even 20 years later. By far the best I could recommend if you are looking for a manual camera where you still have to learn a few technical points to make a photo. The program settings are also great, simple to use and produce super results. Get one! Just be sure the metering system is good and you are sure to be pleased... unless you are lazy or a digital convert.
