[edit]

Many people seem to consider the T90 one of the best cameras ever made. I'm searching for any authoritative quote along those lines - easy to find them from Internet reviewers, but I'd like something from a magazine review, well-known photographer, or something else more notable —Morven 19:24, 18 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

For now, Stephen Gandy of Cameraquest will have to do - he runs a fairly well-known camera dealership that's the prime importer of Cosina/Voightländer equipment into the US, and has a very informative website. Since he's not a gushing Canon-phile, being more into Leicas, rangefinders, and classic Nikon, his views carry a bit more weight than a Canon fan's site. —Morven 16:52, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Not Me, i think the F-1 and new F-1 better fit this description by far. They work in any environment and without a battery. You can drop an F-1 in the lake, dry it out and use it. Try that with a T90. Cadillacmike (talk) 18:38, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

'The tank' nickname

[edit]

User:Albrecht suggested the nickname was because of the Russian T90 tank. But this did not become available till 1993. Was the nickname a later thing? Was the T90 designation guessed ahead of time? I've taken it out for now, but it's a possibility. —Matthew Brown (T:C) 03:14, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I feel the "Russian T-90=Canon T90" connection to be highly unlikely. While T-90's predecessor T-72 has a cult status in Japan for having popularity as the "invincible Russian tank" before its reputation got destroyed in the Gulf War, T-90 is little known. I believe it's actually a word play, as "9" can be read as "ku" in Japanese. So camera's name becomes "T(an)ku". --Revth 03:43, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
It sounds fishy. The impression I get is that Stephen Gandy - a camera salesman with an interest in hyping up his products - invented the nickname, safe in the knowledge that no-one could disprove him. The tenor of his website is hard-sell, and I imagine he has trouble shifting used T90s, given the combination of an obsolete lens mount and the camera's notorious fragility. The man who runs Photography in Malaysia and all the other web references are presumably repeating Gandy's invented nickname. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 12:45, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistency Alert

[edit]

There is an inconsistency between the articles for Canon T90 and Canon FD. The former states that Canon T90 was the last to use the Canon FD mount, while the latter lists 1990's Canon F60 as the last. I don't know anything about SLR's, but this should be corrected by someone who does.

The FD article is correct in that point. The T60 was the last FD body marketed by Canon.Hase 20:43, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, this article doesn't say it was the last, but rather the last professional-grade. Perhaps the wording needs to be changed to remove ambiguity. —Matthew Brown (T:C) 06:28, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures

[edit]

If anyone wants, I can take proper pictures of a mint-condition T-90 with various lenses with a high-quality lighting setup. Pure white background, rather than the blue that's there now. Just if anyone wants. Winkie (talk) 04:30, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! Never hurts to get better pictures. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 04:48, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want to sound bitchy, but you would have won more kudos by taking the pictures, uploading them, and then telling us about it. We would love you long time, and buy you drinks. Instead, you seemed to stop editing Wikipedia immediately after posting this message, except for two minor vandalism fixes on 03 June 2008. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 22:42, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
