Hey photo friends, Erik here. I recently stumbled upon Photography Monthly’s article on “The 50 Greatest Cameras of All Time”. I was a little surprised that my beloved Olympus E-P3 didn’t make their list, but I put together this little collection of some of my other favorites with some bits of information about them for your perusal.
And whoa are there some doozies in there. The list is fascinating, lots of history and indications of the future. Click thru the gallery tabs above to see the rest of the cameras and then let us know what your favorites are – whether they’re on the list or not. Commentary? Why do you love em? Inquiring minds want to know…
Lets just agree on the list presented, is not completely accurate.
I think the Speed Graphic is missing from this list. This is the camera which defined an era of news photography.
I always loved my fuji 6×7 rangefinder. Dead simple; all mechanical.
Canon 7D is the 2nd. 5D MK2 was the first to do HD VIDEO….
Kinda bummed that my little black box (Contax G2) isn’t on the list 🙁
