Advantages: Very tough, very reliable, good quality (and cheap) lenses Disadvantages: Fiddly rewind knob, heavy
(Temporary intro part 2: thank you, Ciao! This op is now in the right place, so I'll remove this intro completely in a day or two.)
Now this really is a blast from the past. One of the last true Eastern Bloc cameras (with the exception of the cheap-and-nasty Zeniths), the Praktica MTL-50 (which can be found fairly easily in second-hand shops) is a dinosaur by modern SLR standards - it's heavy, it's clunky, and almost everything is mechanical. Which is why I like it so much. I've had mine since 1989, and it's still in perfect working order, mainly because there isn't a great deal to go wrong.
The main thing you'll notice when picking up an MTL-50 is the weight - it is far heavier than almost any modern camera on the market today. For some that might be a drawback, but for me it's a bonus, because that weight is a sign ...

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: Easy to use, looks nice, good pictures. Disadvantages: None
0oo - Praktica DV42 Digital Camera - oo0
Righto. Welcome to my review!.
First - a confession. I have been naughty and have already told a little lie - the lie being in the title. The camera is not "My" Practical Praktica, it is actually my sisters, and i have borrowed it for 2 weeks!
The camera is a nice one, silver - as is most digital cameras, and cuboidular - again, like most digital cameras. Nothing special or groundbreaking, but its not ugly, so thats fine for me, i just wanted something that does the job. Takes pictures.
Anyway, after looking through Google.com, it turned up this site:
http://www.tiscalipc.co.uk/products.asp?recnumber=1339
This sells the camera at £96.23 (down from £113.07).
I would definitley say that £96.23 would be money well spent on such a good camera, for reasons listed below. Before i go ...
