Photography Becomes a Snap

Article Abstract:

Cameras are becoming the epitome of automated machines. With advanced technology have come lower prices and smaller size. Cameras range from the low-priced Kodak disc to the 35mm SLR. The medium priced 35mm models with automatic rangefinder focusing and automatic lens shutter exposure are ideal for those wanting good pictures with little involvement. For those wishing to retain control, the SLR, costing from $150 to over $2000 for the Leica, may be best. Even top-of-the-line SLRs are introducing automatic focusing.
