Hurry!!! They Are Going to Stop Making This!!

by lizf Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Dec 20 '00
Pros: Carl Zeiss lens, packed with features, weather proof
Cons: It might be going out of production soon
The Yashica T-4 is an amazing camera. This little camera is packed with features, but the best reason to buy this camera is the lens!

Let's face it; the single most important thing on any camera is the lens. What makes Lecia or Hassiblad so...

"Take a picture, it'll last longer"

by Christoff , Dec 21 '00
Pros: Secret Agent Spy Scope
Cons: Premature Shutterfication
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...

Razor Sharp!

by EthanU , Jul 11 '00
Pros: Inexpensive, high-quality
Cons: Low-power flash
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...

Best lens in P&S

by henryy , Oct 02 '00
Pros: Great Lens, Great Features.
Cons: none
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...

A good camera for street candids

by Nhat , Dec 26 '00
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...

Small, light and very sharp...

by anoop , Dec 28 '00
Pros: lightweight, weatherproof design; takes sharp pictures
Cons: very sensitive shutter release button
Small and light are two of its virtues. The Yashica T4 will take very sharp pictures if you know how to use it. I'm still learning :-)

For many years, the only camera that I owned was a Canon Owl. I was very happy with it, except that the...

Excellent Pictures!

by Leeya , Aug 02 '00
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...

Excellent

by wjhung , May 04 '01
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...

The best point-and-shoot for the money

by nplus1 , Jun 29 '00
Pros: Great Lense, inexpensive
Cons: no manual control over much of the cameras functionality.
If you're looking for a point-and-shoot, and photo quality is more important to you than "bells and whistles". This is the camera for you.

If you read my review of the contax T2, you may have noticed that I think it's the best...

What ever you pay, it's a bargain!!!

by tenl , Jul 24 '01
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...

little camera packs a punch in quality

by fnordjf , Jul 07 '00
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.

The prints I get out of this camera are...

For the Point and Shoot Aficionado

by odynoc , Aug 23 '00
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...

COOL!!!

by ultraoik , Mar 28 '00
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...

Best your money can buy

by JaDaRu , Feb 13 '00
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...

What you can and what you can't expect

by pink_freud , Oct 24 '00
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...
