The autofocus system includes a tracking function - that works pretty good for a compact camera, the car was moving with app. 40 km/h towards me and was tracked precisely. This function only needs good framing, otherwise the tracking point hunts through the whole focus area ignoring moving object. But it´s a nice change after many, many compacts that were completely unable to capture moving objects.
The Canon T80 was the company's only autofocus camera that used the FD lens mount. The T80 was introduced right before the wildly popular EOS autofocus series and was only available for one year: 1985-86. I would guess (but don't know) that Canon probably had too much engineering money put into this type of hybrid camera/lens system not to at least give it a try in the marketplace.
Only three lenses were available, a 50mm f/1.8 normal; a 35-70mm zoom and the 75-200mm zoom. Again, these are FD-mount lenses, completely incompatible with the EF series we all know today. My T80 came with the normal, I found this guy today in a thrift shop. Now all that's left is the short zoom.
Optically, this zoom is typical for its era. The f/4.5 maximum lens opening matched offerings from their competitor's lines. A macro switch near the lens mount base gave this lens extra utility for close-ups.
The autofocus apparatus on the side of the lens adds considerable bulk to the whole unit. Focus is not very swift and you can hear the motor loudly straining to bring the lens elements into place. This is not a camera to use in quiet areas.
The viewfinder of the camera does have a cross-hair to aid focusing if you need to use the lens manually. A switch on top of the lens allows you to set manual or autofocus operation. Power for the autofocus system came from the camera's internal batteries.
To me, the camera and the lenses comprise a tipping point in photographic technology. The T80 (and more advanced manual focus sibling the T90) represented the limit in what could be done to extend the life of a well-made but aging lens mount design.
The voice warnings are great at (quiet) parties. In a Japanese-accented female voice, the camera somewhat sternly warns you Too Dahk! Use Flash!, Check Distance! and Load Film!
The Minolta Talker is an autofocus compact camera sold in some markets as the Minolta AF-Sv. It has a 35mm f2.8 lens and ISO settings from 25 to 1000 and includes a pop-up flash and self-timer, activated by the red button. An integrated lens cap snaps into place on the body of the camera.
The Minolta Talker was the first compact camera to include a voice chip. When activated the voice chip will warn users if film has not been loaded or if shooting conditions require flash or to check distance. It was produced c.1983 through the mid-1980s.

One of the things I've been embracing more is the idea of capturing an event, day, adventure or what have you, in 8 shots. That's the amount of shots in an IMPOSSIBLE pack and I love having this constraint.
Choosing the shots is really part of the fun, and yes, I probably miss out on some shots I should have taken, and sometimes I'll shoot a couple of packs to get the 8, but I want to get to a point where I can shoot 8 and have the perfect story.

I shot in DX mode which crops away the extra pixels and takes me 1.5X closer while allowing for up to 7 FPS with the Nikon D810's Nikon MB-D12 Battery Grip using the 8 AA battery option! 8 Duracles took me through around 3,000 shots no problem--maybe more! I was shooting at the equivalent of 900mm with the 1.5x crop factor! Pretty close! Had I gone with the Nikon D4s, I would have gotten 12 fps, but no DX crop factor, as the sensor has only around 14mp, compared to the d810's 36 megapixels! Sure the larger pixel size on the Nikon D4s full frame sensor comes in handy indoors or at night, but in the brigth sun, there's more than enough light for the smaller pixels in crop mode! Sure we lose some pixels from the outer edges when shooting in DX crop mode, but most of those pixels would be cropped away in lightroom anyway. And the smaller files make the memory cards last longer, while also upping the FPS to 7 shots per second! Not quite 12 FPS< but still awesome and enough I felt!
What a beautiful way to test the Nikon D810 and Tamron 150-600mm zoom lens for sports photography!

This Popular Photography excerpt dates the introduction of the Konica C35 AF. It's interesting to see the Honeywell-provided autofocus module separately. The camera is otherwise an update to Konica's C35-EF.
While this is clearly not an SLR, it's included in our album "35mm SLRs Evolve" as a harbinger of the next revolution to come in SLR design.
As always, the male lion was just lying there. Hard to see and even harder to photograph through thick, dirty and scratched plastic windows. On top of that, I felt a bit rushed and relied on the autofocus of my camera. It only selected the grasses in front of the lion.
Autofocus for the masses, the Nikon F-401 is the entry-level addition to their new commercially successful autofocus camera (starting with the F-501). Known as the N4004 for the US Market, the camera is simple to operate. And it offers up full PSAM controls and traditional Nikon centre-weighted metering, making it alright to use, despite the painfully slow autofocus.

Quite rare, early autofocus camera that uses the flash to send a short burst of light that is then picked-up and analysed by a seperate autofocus 'eye'. Able to work in complete darkness. Fixed shutter speed (1/125th sec). Manual adjustment of film speed is possible for exposure compensation. Made in Hong Kong
A test of CameraPro N8's continuous autofocus video-recording, starring our guinea pigs Sunny and Harry (exploring the untrimmed edge of our garden). The 720p HD clip is presented here in its raw unedited form, to avoid too much quality loss - I think the video closeup option alone makes CameraPro N8 worth its asking price from the Ovi Store.
I continue to be impressed by the PDAF in the Sony A9. The 693 AF points are definitely not just a marketing gimmick, they seem to consistently deliver.
Here, with the porpoising dolphin, there is very little time – these dolphins are amazingly fast. They are out of the water and back in the water completely in less than a second! So even spotting and framing them in the viewfinder is already a big challenge.
The A9 had no problem picking off the dolphin. And it's not just a blind focus to some distance and hope for the best – the A9 did a great job of delineating the dolphin from the bird. Even at this distance, the DoF is relatively shallow.
Below is a vertical crop of the image above, and further below is an actual pixels crop. I keep reminding myself that with my 100-400 lens, I could have had a 4x larger image!
