The '''Nikon D5000''' is a [[DSLR]] with a 12.3 megapixel ISO 200-3200 image sensor. It offers a preview mode so that its turn- and tilt-able 2.7" color TFT display can be used as alternate viewfinder. It's ergonomically designed and offers a good lot of functions. It's sold as camera for hobby [[photographer]]s.

	The '''Sony Alpha DSLR-A700''' is the first digital [[SLR]] apparently independently developed by [[Sony]], moving on from prior cooperation with the former photography division of [[Konica Minolta]]. Alpha 700's rugged magnesium alloy body seems to be constructed for the demands of the more ambitious users of [[Minolta]]'s, [[Konica Minolta]]'s, and [[Sony]]'s AF-SLR lenses (and Alpha Mount Camera lenses from independent lens makers such as [[Tamron]], [[Sigma]], and others).

	The Alpha 700 camera is Sony's second product in the SLR segment. It is substantiation that Sony, as a consumer electronics maker, wants to establish itself in the DSLR sector. Like the [[Sony Alpha DSLR-A100\|Alpha 100]] and the [[Konica Minolta Dynax 7D\|Konica Minolta Alpha/Dynax/Maxxum 7D]] and [[Konica Minolta Dynax 7D\|5D]] the camera is equipped again with an in-camera anti-shake mechanism which compensates [[camera shake]] by vertical and horizontal capture-sensor movements. The characteristic mode-select wheel of the predecessors is replaced by a function select button. An ergonomic approach is that after program preselection, camera setup and adjustment controls can be operated completely with just the holding hand (right hand). A brighter finder, a big bright high-resolution screen, and several optimizations concerning speed and autofocus give it advantages over the earlier Alpha, Dynax, and Maxxum DSLRs.

		+	== Disagreement on page splitting and tagging as "minor edit" with no edit summary ==
		+
		+	I must say that I disagree with the recent splitting of the page, separating the section on the GM670 from the rest of the article.
		+
		+	I do not think that the change was motivated: the GM670 is nothing more than a GL690 with a permanent built-in mask. It seems that the change was somehow related to a minor reorganization of categories. The category change in itself is surely a good idea, but there are other ways to manage it, for example creating a redirect called "Fujica GM670", with the proper category tag under the redirect link.
		+
		+	And I am not satisfied with the current result, because continuous reading of this fine article is now disrupted. Plus the top of the article says that it covers the whole family (G690, GL690 and GM670), with reasonably good reasons to do so, while the main text is only missing the GM670.
		+
		+	Finally and more importantly, I am upset by the fact that this change was applied '''with a void edit summary'''. [http://camerapedia.org/wiki/Talk:Reisekamera#Edit_conflict.3F In the past], I already had to restate the necessity of "adding meaningful edit summaries for each edit". Yet more disturbingly, the removal of the section on the GM670 was tagged as a minor change. Removing a paragraph and replacing it by a short summary, in the purpose of splitting a page in two, '''is definitely not a minor change'''.
		+
		+	So I have to state once more that '''edit changes are mandatory'''. When I have the time, I'll write this in the site's guidelines, and I will send a message to all the contributors who do not respect this rule. New contributors need some time to get accustomed to this, but I expect long-standing and experienced contributors to set a good example.

	The '''Chaika''' (Чайка - a seagull in Russian) electronic [[flash]] was made in Kharkov (USSR) from 1964, as a simplified version of the Luch-61 flash (the Luch comprised of a power pack with two flash heads, Chaika had only one).		The '''Chaika''' (Чайка - a seagull in Russian) electronic [[flash]] was made in Kharkov (USSR) from 1964, as a simplified version of the Luch-61 flash (the Luch comprised of a power pack with two flash heads, Chaika had only one).
	The flash can be powered by 220 V mains or two 3R12 batteries (4.5 V each, lasting for at least 50 flashes). Typically for early electronic flashes, Chaika is of a two piece design: it comprises of a separate power unit in form of a solid leather bag and a the actual flash head, which is mounted on a camera. The elegant shiny bag (200x155x80 mm) houses the capacitor, power converter, electric circuits as well as batteries, it also provides a storage compartment for the flash head and connecting cables. A switch located inside the bag under the flap allows choosing the power source - Б (B) for batteries and С (S) for mains. The flash head has a stylish design of the era - a black handle with a huge circular reflector housing an U-shaped tube, a rotary calculator is located at the back. The flash is synchronized with a sync cord. The guide number is 20 m for 65 [[GOST]] (i.e. 23 m for 100 ASA), flash energy 36 Ws, lighting angle 45 degrees and flash duration 1/2000 s. The whole set with batteries weights 1.6 kg while some 1.25 kg empty. A variation of this Chaika exist, made around 1970, with a distinctive pebble leather bag and a ringed flash reflector glass.{{br}}		The flash can be powered by 220 V mains or two 3R12 batteries (4.5 V each, lasting for at least 50 flashes).

After the heady days of the XD/XE series, the X-700 marked a definite return to the amateur-level market. While the new camera had TTL flash, it was equipped with only a 1/60s maximum flash synch and an ordinary cloth horizontal-travel shutter, and the interior mechanisms utilized more cost-saving plastics.

-	The Super Westomat 35 is a [[35mm]] rangefinder made by [[Taisei Kōki]] in the mid 50's. There are two main variants of this camera: the first with an uncoupled rangefinder and the second with coupled rangefinder. The coupled RF version was available with a 3.5/45 Terionon A. or a 2.8/45 Taikor lense.

-	The '''Revere Eye-Matic EE 127''' is an auto-exposure 4×4cm camera made by [[Revere]] around 1958.	+	The '''Revere Eye-Matic EE 127''' is an auto-exposure 4×4cm 127 film rangefinder camera made by [[Revere]] around 1958. It has a single fixed shutter speed and the aperture is controlled either by the selenium cell or by the aperture lever. It also has a 'Flash-matic' guide number automatic flash exposure system: you align the two red dots on the focus ring and the body then set the flash guide number using the aperture lever. This couples the aperture to the focus position to automatically set flash exposure based on the distance. It has a coupled rangefinder, bright frame view finder and the selected aperture is displayed in the viewfinder. It uses a single-stroke advance lever and frame counter instead of the more traditional knob/red window. The lens is a 58mm f/2.8 Wollansak Raptar that stops down to f/22. ASA range is 10 to 100. The body has a white or cream baked enamel and brushed aluminum alloy finish. Some versions have the top plate in brushed metal finish. It listed for an astonishing $139.50 in 1959.<REF> [http://www.flickr.com/photos/10187806@N00/2316918182/ 1959 Revere Ad] on flickr.com</REF>
