Point and Shoot cameras may soon be dinosaurs, forced to an end by the auspices of digital technology. Its gravemates the turntable, Swiss movement, and rotary-dial phones, have all felt the impact of the digital nova. Their loss saddens me, for they...
For years I was frustrated by compact cameras that consistently took incorrectly exposed, blurry photographs. I bought my T-4 Super because it was recommended at Photo.net as the point & shoot used most often by professionals. I figured I couldn't go...
Although the name Yashica is not well known, it is certainly a respected company in the photography industry. The Yashica T4 Super is definitely one great innovation in the Point and Shoot field. The design philosophy is simple: all you need is a great...
Pros: Zeiss lens, Super Scope view, f3.5 aperture Cons: Flash mode defaults to "Auto" everytime camera is turned on,
I bought the Yashica T4 Super after reading all the positive reviews of it on various web sites. I wanted a point and shoot camera to capture street scenes when my SLR was not with me. There have been too many moments where I thought to myself with...
Pros: Compact, excellent optics, waist level finder, easy to use and take everywhere Cons: Focus lock is a bit too sensitive to hold halfway down without tripping shutter
I bought a silver version of this camera and I shot my first roll of Ilford HP5 Plus in it. I shoot black and white pretty much all the time and do my own darkroom stuff. I was absolutely amazed by the excellent quality of the pictures! The exposure...
Pros: Compact Size. Quiet operation. Fairly Fast lens. No nonsense. Cons: Doesn't show shutter speed(what non rangefinder P/S does?). Distortion at edges.
I am a photo hobbiest who owns Canon SLR equipment with various lenses, ranging from normal zooms to nice f2.8 equipment.
I feel that the T4 is a great p/s camera. While being a bit more expensive than it's competitors(i.e. Olympus Stylus...
Pros: Delightful daytime photos with extreme clarity and superior color! Cons: Camera shutter release button is quite sensitive causing it to sometimes shoot while focusing.
Before actually purchasing my T4 Super, I owned several Minolta point and shoot cameras which were quite reliable and lasted me a trustworthy 6 years each. However, I was always disappointed with the amount of distortion in my photos due to the zoom...
Pros: optical quality(!!!), compact, lightweight Cons: very little control, plastic viewfinder, fixed focal length
Oh, I LOVE this camera. It's the only point-and-shoot among my larger SLR and medium format cameras. The first thing that captured my interest about the T4 Super was its Carl Zeiss Tessar lens.
Pros: Carl Zeiss lense, Simplicity, Sturdy, Compact Cons: Small Viewfinder
First off, I'm not a photography geek (like some of my friends). When I bought the T4 I wanted something simple that I could use to take quality photos when I went on vacation. Nothing more. It's been two years since I bought the camera and I have...
Pros: Chick looks, great lens, waist level finder, weatherproof Cons: no remote control, no B button, no exposure compensation for really tricky lighting conditions
This is about the coolest little point-and-shoot camera anyone can have.
It's got a magnificent Carl Zeiss 38mm/f3.5 lens. The exposure metering system is quite capable of handling difficult situations. The Autofocusing system is accurate as...
Pros: Price, durability, quality pictures Cons: None I can really see!
To start off, this will not be a technical review. I am not an expert, just an owner. The Yashica T-4 Super is one of the best cameras you can buy for $150! I should know seeing that I searched long and hard before I purchased this one. It has a high...
Pros: Great point-and-shoot Cons: Vignetting, focusing problems
For me it was like this: before I had Minolta Riva point-and shoot and I started to hate that pictures are not sharp enough. Then I heard about this little wonderful thing that has Zeiss for its eye and promises great sharpness. I bought it and I tried...
