  • Is the general opinion that a T4 is better than a mju ii? I want to get a fancy point and shoot after a Christmas.

    Are there any recommended second hand camera shops to go to/avoid in London? Or is ebay my best bet?

  • "Better" how?

    Most consider a T4 to be sharper than a Mju-II.
    Mju-II is definitely tougher, if you drop a T4 on concrete once it may be the end while the Mju might survive this, also it's somewhat waterproof - would not try this with the Yashica either.
    Mju is also smaller, which makes it more pocket-able. This also means the finder is small, it's a joke, basically.
    I loved my Mju-II. Would not buy one now though as the prices are in the insane league due to rich fucking hipsters.
    Basically same goes for the T4's, they got hyped because Terry Richardson used them.

    There's other great point and shoots as well..

  • I’ve had both, pretty much always prefer the photos from the T4.
    Is it worth £200? Probably not. It’s a ticking time bomb that will die and be unrepairable, it might last a few years, maybe a few weeks. There’s almost know way to know.
    I paid £35 years ago and felt I paid too much at the time. Mine is gonna die soon, which is sad because I know it’s not worth replacing. And as has been mentioned, they’re incredibly fragile.
