Passage One
There are a lot of good cameras available at the moment—most of these are made in
Japan but there are also good quality models from Germany and the USA. We have
investigated a range of different models to see which is the best value for money. After a
number of different tests and interviews with people who are familiar with the different
cameras being assessed, our researchers recommend the Olympic BY model as the best
auto-focus camera available at the moment. It costs $200 although you may well want to
spend more—perhaps as much as another $200—on buying additional lenses and other
equipment. It is a good Japanese camera, easy to use. Equivalent German models tend to
be heavier and slightly less easy to use, whereas the American versions are considerably
more expensive. The Olympic BY model weighs only 320 grams which is quite a bit less
than other cameras of a similar type. Indeed one of the other models we looked at
weighed almost twice as much. Similarly, it is smaller than most of its competitors, thus
fitting easily into a pocket or a handbag. All the people we interviewed expressed almost
total satisfaction with it. The only problem was the slight awkwardness in loading the
film.
