Nikon F2A and Canon F-1
Can you say the Canon is a bit more "compact"?
Both camera systems are products of the 1970s and the design esthetic is classic and clean for the era.
Side-by-side the differences are obvious. The CdS meter is built-in on the Canon whereas the Nikon's light meter is in the head. The Nikon's metered prism (DP-11) is much larger and taller than the eye-level prism on the Canon (which was the standard prism since its introduction in 1971) and the motor drive is taller on the F2A but wider on the F-1. Which is your favorite?
