Advantages: Fantastic image quality, good range of lenses Disadvantages: Slow flash sync speed
Now discontinued, but if you are lucky, you can still purchase a 645 Pro TL (this model's successor). Even newer models to this are the AF & the AFD (Auto-Focus with easy digital capability).
The 645 Pro is a modular medium format camera (unlike the 645E). Not only are the lenses interchangable, but the viewfinders, winders, and film backs are also. Lenses (and film inserts) dating back to the 1970s work perfectly on the 645 Pro, other accessories (viewfinders, etc) need to be intended for the 645 Super (or the 645 Pro TL) to fit the 645 Pro.
The horizontally traversing cloth shutter gives a shutter speed range of 4 secs - 1/1000th sec & B, with the flash sync speed being 1/60th sec ("leaf-shutter" lenses will allow flash sync at speeds of up to 1/500th sec). Two of the available viewfinders allow the camera to offer aperture ...

Advantages: Crystal Clear Imaging, Face tracking, Tons of features Disadvantages: Price
The first thing I will say about the Logitech AF Webcam is: This is more then a webcam!
Unfortunately with my Mrs not currently living in the same place as me and due to the fact that I knocked off and stood on my old webcam, it became time for me to buy a new one. Now my old webcam, a Logitech Zoom I bought back 4 year ago and the Camera served me very well! Now I am no worker for Logitech, nor am I biased towards them for any reason at all, but it seems that it's fair to say that they own the market when it comes to the world of Webcams.
Anyway, back to Logitech AF. Now I managed to get this for about £65, but you may pay more or less depending on where you get it from. Now I know that £65 is a lot to spend on a webcam, but for me, who uses it almost daily, I didn't feel it was so much, if of course, the camera was worth it ...
Advantages: High quality images suitable for dramatic enlargements, well made camera and a pleasure to use. Disadvantages: Could be difficult to use for a complete novice. Expensive though worth every penny.
This a beautiful camera and I love the quality of images it can take.
It is a medium format range finder camera that is as light as many 35mm cameras so you can literally carry it all day without fatigue. Medium format cameras are usually bulky and feel as heavy as a brick ( or a couple of bricks!). As it is light you can handhold it to take pictures. Again most other medium format cameras would make your arms ache or shake too much and you would have to use a tripod.
So this camera offers you a choice. You can hand hold this camera all day without having to use a tripod and yet still get high quality medium format pictures or if you want to explore your photography and the cameras capabilities further with a tripod you can. I also own one of the heavier medium format cameras the Mamiya RZ and I've only taken it out for the day ...
