Reflex action

Article Abstract:

A test of 12 single lens reflex cameras costing from 200 pounds sterling to 600 pounds suggested that the best buys were the Minolta Dynax 505si at 260 pounds, the Minolta Vectis S-1 at 200 pounds and the Pentax MZ-50 at 230 pounds. All three have five exposure modes and predictive autofocus. The Minolta Dynax also has exposure bracketing. The best model of all was the Minolta Vectis S-1 because it takes excellent pictures, is easy to operate and has a wide range of APS features. All the cameras tested worked satisfactorily.
