So the Nikon F3 gained so many votes they split the count
and placed it in 18th and 24th place

Can anybody help me find the vote result?
I want to know the rank of Olympus OM4TiB that is my most favorit film camera.

I still use my OM4Ti and rate it No1.

I'll search about and find out for you.

OM4 Ti was 26th. OM 1 did well at 4th.

Re: Vote for the best camera ever

Thanks a lot, mike_j (or former Cap'n Bill )

it is lower than my anticipation but OM4Ti was introduced after Minolta launched the first AF SLR alpha - 7000 in 1985. Both OM4Ti (1989) and Canon T90 (1986) were good models imho but they were too late to come to the markets.

Users seem to have taken it for granted that SLR's should have a autofocus feature in this second half of the 80's.
Inevitably Minolta became the number one brand of SLR. Who imagined that they would eventually retreat from whole camera business five years ago. Life is surely changing.

I wonder what the indispensable feature of digital cameras (incl. dSLR) is right now ...
LCD back-monitor? No idea as there seem to be so many indispensable features these days.


I still keep OM1 btw. A surprise that it was placed to the 4th. (I mean, too good) A mechanical camera that can survive for longer years.

Maybe it it better to use them in order to keep them in good shape. Films are however exorbitantly expensive these days.

Re: Vote for the best camera ever

Took me a while to find the results. Interesting. My Canon AE1 came in at #20 but my old standby, my Argus C3 rangefinder, didn't make the list.

Re: Vote for the best camera ever

When I hear about AE1, I almost instantly recall of the actress (and a photographer ?) Cancide Bergen. Canon used her at least for TV ads in Japan.

There was a hot argument those days about which type of AE is superior. Aperture priority AE like Nikon F3 or Shutter Speed priority AE like AE1.
I imagine you preferred the latter to the former.

I myself was fond of aperture priority AE for long years but these days I use shutter speed priority AE quite often. More handheld shots, I mean.

Thanks for the list. I have been looking at it for an hour or more and not finished it yet.

Forgot to mention that I also used AE1.
