CANON - well known for their highquality lenses !

Some of the best cameras with very fine lenses are made by CANON. All of listed models .can run also KODAK EKTACHROME 64 !

Outdoor, wilderness: Many  of the mechanical CANON cameras without high sophisticated “electronic-features” are still running today. Even the kids had played with a 814 or 1014 AUTO ZOOM at the beach. After demounting and cleaning it´s running and running........also after storing dry for a lot of years......Cameras with a lot of electronics (e.g. XLS) are not made for this adventures!

Real weakness for CANON´s are not known. A lot of older CANON cameras are heavymetal.

Last years cameras made by canon are the XL series. The XL-S is the sound version of the XL. The AUTOZOOM electronic was the premodel with other lens coating. All are very fine cams.and recommendable.

These CANON´s are the only one which are usable as brightlight cams with one normal shutterspeed of 1/43 sec.(150° shutter) and as lowlight cam with 220° shutter = 1/30 sec. For sharp pictureframes of moving objects there are better cameras with little shutterdegree ( Bauer,Beaulieu, Nizo). See also.....

814XL Electronic

My comment:

XLS cameras are most asked for and expensive. But unfortunately less reliable than a XL cameras which have nearly the same features, same lenses. .

The 1014 lens is not better than the 814 lens and the difference of the focal factor is not worth to pay so much more.....

 I have often preferred a AUTOZOOM 814 electronic not a XL-S.
