Canon T70

This is the last one I bought. I love it. We can do a lot of things with it.

The computer age was invitably found an in-route into SLR camera design - apart from affecting life-styles and the world we live in. And Canon foresees that as early as 1976 when the Canon AE-1 was introduced to the world. In 1984, a revolutionary new Canon camera was launched and it was changing the way we look at camera and photography. That camera was the Canon T70 model.
Like today's computers, the second model of the Canon T series was designed to perform a multitude of tasks with split-second response and unfailing accuracy.
Data input into the T70's microprocessor brain give not one but three daylight programmed exposure modes. These select the most appropriate aperture/shutter speed combination for the lighting and the lens in use: wide-angle, standard or telephoto. Flash photography is also fully programmed. For fast-paced action, there's Shutter-Priority AE and when the situation demands, Manual override.
Although the T70 was a quantum advance in camera technology than the first T-series model, the all programmed-AE-only T-50, the basic concept of the T series model remains - advanced doesn't mean complicated, simplicity in control and operation are the order of the day. The T70 was delightfully simple to use. With a streamlined compact design.
