![]() ![]() #Canon snappy af isoThat’s the nub of it really – use a P&S camera you like and put ISO 400 colour neg stock in it. ![]() Two of the stocks here are Portra 400 and Ektar 100, both shot at box speed, and I will say, that looking at their spec sheets on the Kodak Alaris website there’s not much difference in dynamic range between them, but Ektar is claimed to have higher saturation and finer grain. I’m hesitant to say anything about colour neg stocks, because I’m not qualified to do so. Note too please that all the images here are shop scans from my local lab. The other take-home message is that if you feed these things nice 400ASA film they thrive, but use anything else only if you have a good reason to do so. This piece also got me coming back to the essential but easy-to-forget truth that a good camera is one that suits you and suits what you want to do with it. These Canons are in my opinion all good cameras, but more expensive is not necessarily better. Some of them were Canons and I thought it would be interesting to compare lower, mid and upper level cameras from the same maker.
