Convergence vs Divergence

[ricktas]

Interesting that people seem to think these buttons and dials turned up in reasonable recent years, commenting as though they are a recent and sudden change. Yet here is the top of a Canon T70 which was introduced in 1984 - almost 30 years ago!!! I have one of these. It was the first SLR I bought with my own money..once I started working. Prior to that I was given cameras as presents and gifts (box brownie, kodak 110 instamatic)



and before that, the Canon T50 (in 1983)


This change has been gradual, not something that has happened overnight, and given us all plenty of time to adjust to it. Sometimes getting out of your comfort zone is good! Just as some do not like Convergence, some appear to not like change as well Sometime we spend to much time talking about the gear we use, than using it...anyone want to meet me on DPReview
