jd_rose Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Hello, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a quality point and shoot camera that is capable of recognizing and setting to 3200 ASA with DX coded 3200 film? Thanks...JDR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew robertson Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 The Fuji Natura can do it too, and has a 24 f/1.9 lens to boot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd_rose Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 Thank You! The Wide 100 fits the bill perfectly. --- JDR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helenbach Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I'd also suggest the Fuji Natura with the 24 mm f/1.9 lens, if you want a wide lens. Megaperls in Japan export them. It's program only. You can set exposure compensation of +/- 2 stops. The shutter speeds are from 1 s to 1/360. The manual is in Japanese, but that's no big deal. It's easy to understand the illustrations, and the numbers are Arabic. The exposure compensation is a bit difficult to find - it is an option in the date setting menu. If you want to change the speed setting for the whole roll of film, you can also alter the DX patches on the film cassette, of course. It's a really neat camera. One of the features is that if you have a fast film loaded (DX-coded for 1600 and over) it switches to 'NP' mode with the flash off. When the camera is switched on in NP, you have a second or two to enable the flash, otherwise it defaults to flash off. With slower films it defaults to auto flash. With 1600 film, the flash range is quoted as 0.4 m to 16 m. There are four DX contacts, which means that the film speed is detected in full stop increments, favouring overexposure (eg 320 is detected as 200, not 400). When you load a film it winds the whole film out, then winds it back into the cassette as you shoot. There is a facility to remove the film mid-roll. There is very little shutter lag - one of the things that annoys me the most about AF P&S's. The only manual focus setting is infinity. There is focus lock. It can focus in remarkably low light. The minimum focussing distance is 0.4 m. It does have focus lock, by pressing the shutter release part-way. The lens is comparatively flare free. It has less aberration wide open than my Canon 24 mm f/1.4 L. Best, Helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
