It will thus be seen from the foregoing paragraphs. That there is not single camera which is technically best equipped for every job. The photographer’s own personal preference in handling and purpose of the picture should be taken into consideration, and also the cost factor.

Finally one should not forget that the camera is not an end in itself but it only a means to an end. Therefore do not become unduly absorbed in the various models available. The important thing after all is to learn how to use them effectively. However, the 35 mm SLR camera which is considered to be all purpose camera may be preferred.
