So I have a good collection of Canon and Minolta cameras and am looking to move on to other brands. I have no loyalty and will use anything that is of good quality. I want to get good mid level cameras to collect. Pro type are usually either too expensive or too beat up to worry about. The level of camera I’m looking for is on par with a Canon EOS Elan 7N. I want AF cameras as my MF days are pretty much over. My eyes have to hard of a time making out the focus screens. I know old film cameras like the Pentax K1000 and Olympus OM-1 etc but they are MF I have no idea anything about AF cameras other then Canon and Minolta. I want cameras I can use not shelf queens. Prefer film cameras but won’t scoff at digital. I don’t want any new stuff, looking at cameras at least 10 years old. If you have one to recommend please give weak points I should look for. Example is the “Canon Squeek” in pretty much all ”A” series cameras. I don’t care about what priority it is or sync speed or top shutter speed, just a good solid choice to collect. Like I mentioned I know what MF cameras to collect just have no clue on AF ones. I don’t want this to turn into a my camera brand is better then yours thread. I don’t care what the brand is. Thanks in advance for any advice and recomendations. Budget is $200 or less for camera and a lens. Type of photography I want to use them for is what ever hits my fancy at the time I pick them up. Lens recommendations for said cameras would be welcome as well,
