Modern SLR should have AF. IMHO
I think the interpretation of modern reflects on photrio’s demographic.
Same people here would classify a modern car as something that runs on those new fangled pneumatic tires.
Agree.
Windscreens are for chumps.
Exactly. How else can you taste that bug's last meal?

Or batteries.
Or uses an internal combustion engine (vice steam-powered).
The old steam cars were very environmentally friendly, and that may be of interest currently. The Stanley Steamer could do 100 m.p.h, just think Scott if this technology would have been developed further instead of gasoline how much better off we would be.

A couple of months I found a copy of Popular Mechanics dated mid 70s, at a thrift store, there was an article on the Lear Steam Car, it was going to be a hybrid, Steam Electric, the car would use batteries until the Steam engine was up to full power. Should have bought the edition.
What is Photrio?:
1/ Best modern camera?
2/ Let's talk about steam powered cars.
My takeaway? This may not be the best place to ask this question.
I have similar desires in my kit and my 35mm choices are: Nikon F, F3, F5 (for taking pics of kids and other moving subjects). Not expensive and a good range of lenses available. I used an Canon Ftb in school and really liked it but the current kit I have is as good or better from a user standpoint. My all time fav is the F3. Very easy to use, aperture priority speeds things up a little and there are many out there in good condition.
Whats the deal with flash and the F3?

In my head, I have three generations of 35mm SLRs:I'm just marveling that we see the need to discuss "modern".
Or batteries.
In my head, I have three generations of 35mm SLRs:
1. All mechanical cameras (e.g., Nikon F, Canon F-1/F-1n, Pentax Spotmatic)
2. Electronically controlled shutters (e.g., Canon AE-1, Pentax ME, Olympus OM-2, Nikon FE)
3. Autofocus cameras (e.g., Canon EOS, Nikon F6, etc.)
I see #1 as not modern and #3 and modern. The gray area are the cameras in group #2.
