  • Classic point and shoot cameras of the 1970s and 1980s offered automation and ease of use. Auto focus. Auto exposure. Auto flash
    Those flash units can be aggressive. They can pop-up, charge and fire in low light situations even if you did not want them to.
    But some of them allowed you to engage a no-flash button. You could turn off the flash but the manuals didn't really recommend it.
    Now here is the EXCITING part: many of these cameras can take long exposures without the flash AND work in low light conditions they were never programmed to shoot.
    Many camera makers declared they could shoot at f/2.8 with shutter speeds of 1/8 of second. That was the bottom. But is that really true?
    How slow can the shutter go click?
    We test eight cameras:
    -Nikon One Touch
    -Nikon L35AF, the big daddy: my absolute favourite version of the Pikaich
    -Nikon One Touch 2 or AF 3 or L35AF3
    -Minolta Hi-matic AF - I tested this camera in a dark pawn shop before I bought it. The shutter went FOREVER...(or did it)
    -Minolta Hi-Matic S2 - the camera that goes beep, beep , beep
    -Canon Sure Shot 2, AF35M2, aka Autoboy 2 - I could have sworn I have an Autoboy but I can't find it
    -Canon AF35 ML. ML for "Mega-Lens" because at 40mm f1.9, it sure is
    -Mamiya M
