The Polaroid Super Shooter may have been popular with the public, but ignored by photographers. I love this one because I've made truly wonderful photos on Fuji instant film with it.
Me too, although I would probably be more likely to say that I like it almost as much as my OM 2s, OM 2n and OM 4T.The Olympus OM 20. I actually like it over the OM 1 and 2.
Intriguing, since the shutter preferred automatic was one of the big reasons that the Canon AE-1 was as successful as it was.Konica T3, many did not like shutter preface expousre, same with MIranda EE.

I also liked the clutch that switched the wind lever from film wind to film rewind when you switched the camera to rewind mode.
I never opened the camera's mechanism to be able to describe it in detail.???? How does that work? Usually the wind lever is over the take-up spool and pressing the rewind button or lever on a camera simply disengages the sprocket shaft, allowing the separate rewind lever to draw the film back. You're saying that flipping the rewind lever allows the regular film-wind lever to transport film back into the cassette? I cannot visualize how that would work unless the wind lever now activates a rewinding-shaft on the cassette side of the camera.
That doesn't bode well for the T70 long term. The other Canon foible was the inclusion of a lithium battery to retain settings. This wasn't user replaceable and had to be sent to the factory or a repairer for replacement. It also dogged the T90, a camera I owned but never felt much love for although objectively it was the much the better camera.But it started having problems and I opened it up to find plastic gears.
The problem with the Df is the front is styled like steroid enhanced FE, while the back is another push button, menu-tastic, full frame DSLR. The promotional video didn't help, which was a man wandering round with intimations of back to basics purity, which the camera failed to deliver. Plus the top plate which surely breaks the record for numbers and text on any camera. Digital cameras took years to reduce the controls to the minimum, and there are still too many for most users, onto which Nikon applied a duplicate set of analogue dials. Nice idea, but Leica nailed the less is more thing in digital, Nikon threw in the kitchen sink!2. The Nikon Df which is a current camera which I love but I can't count how many bad reviews or how many negative postings about it on the internet.
People usually bash two-digit Olympuses. I personally don't understand a reason behind it, they aren't that cheap and only OM-10 is crippled with absence of manual mode.The Olympus OM 20. I actually like it over the OM 1 and 2.
I bought an F301 new and rather liked it. Build quality was a shock as I was using a Nikon F at the same time but the F301 never failed. I took some of my favourite ever black and white shots with it. It was a "lucky" camera, capturing happy accidents that only showed up in the prints. A lucky camera always trumps a good one.I just don't know wether those cameras were unpopular when they came to market but today they are ... Nobody will admit that he uses one of those 'ugly ducklings'

When shooting in a hostile environment, I admit using the inexpensive 75-150mm f/3.5 Series E mounted on a Nikon EM...

Bought one off ebay since it had a lot of accessories. It's neat indeed, but I can clearly see why people dislike it:I've got a few that I really like that just never were popular.
OM-PC, was one of the last double digit OM cameras made, it had really great metering even though it wasn't in the same class as the single digits bodies. It was my first OM camera and I shot a ton with it, and it converted me to the OM system.
I am sure we can all appreciate the irony.....Anybody Like/Using the Canon AE-1.?
