Huss that Fuji Klasse is really tempting - but having checked ebay Japan mint samples are around the 950$ mark. Risky proposition. On the one hand I have plasticky electronic 90s Nikons that work perfectly after 25 years, on the other hand .. Then again we live only once..
Just how slow is that AF? Too slow for pictures of an energetic toddler?
EDIT - great samples by the way, thanks for sharing!!
Thanks!
If your kid is running around, this camera won't cut it. I had two superb Nikon LW35AFs - both in perfect condition, both just expired.. Shutter buttons just jammed up, nothing would move. A local shop said he could fix one for $250... I passed. That camera can be bought for less than half that! And at this point, who knows how long it will last.
The main thing about the Klasse S/W is you can so much control over the outcome, if that matters. If you want to take pics of your kid, I really like the Fuji Work Record which is very robust and focuses quicker (or seems to). Then again, just use what you have!
