I have developed a rudimentary system to rate cameras in terms of their functionality. The system is quite simple and works by assigning points to the various camera capabilities.
It is still in work in progress and gets enriched each time I analyze one of my cameras.
none = 0 points
points = position in the list starting from 1 e.g TTL=1
Viewing - basic, intermediate (RF), full (SLR)
Focusing - basic (fixed), intermediate (zone), advanced(wysiwyg SLR,RF), automatic(auto-focus)
Light metering - none,TTL,spot
Diaphragm control - none,limited,full
Shutter control - none,limited,full
Film advance mechanism - manual,intermediate,full
Lens - simple,intermediate,full
Auto exposure - none, intermediate, full
Flash - none,basic,medium,full
Example ratings
Holga camera: 1+2+0+1+1+1+0+1+1 = 8
Leica M6: 2+3+2+3+3+3+3+2+3 = 24
