Message-ID: <45@ssc-vax.UUCP> Date: Fri, 10-Aug-84 11:24:28 EDT Article-I.D.: ssc-vax.45 Posted: Fri Aug 10 11:24:28 1984 Date-Received: Sat, 11-Aug-84 01:40:51 EDT Organization: Boeing Aerospace, Seattle Lines: 12 Can anyone offer advice to a non photo buff about what 35mm camera body to buy in the ~$220 range. I was thinking either Canon A-1 or Ricoh XR-P. Has the latter any advantages over the former due to newness of design? Is there something better than either of the above that I am missing? Are they all about the same feature-wise? What I am looking for is something with the usual automatic features + manual. Thanks, uw-beaver!ssc-vax!jeff jeff jongeward
