The Age of Plastic: Newerish Cameras
While we've already discussed the definition of the term "vintage", it's application to the things around us is quite varied. "Old fashioned" can refer to a cartoon from the 20s, a car from the 60s, or a computer from the 90s. Most folks will consider anything that uses film to be out of date (though it is still used in professional circles).
For the purposes of this project, olderly has generally applied to cameras manufactured before about 1980. Maybe that's just my bias, having been born in the later half of that particular decade.
Thus, any camera that is included here made after around 1980 will be part of a subsection of the Olderly Camera Project, symmetrically referred to as Newerish Cameras.
And to be perfectly honest, these cameras may be fairly few and far between. The 80s and 90s were the decades of plastic, and cheapness was in fashion. There were plenty of innovations, with the invention of autofocus and improvement of in-camera metering.
But, in my opinion at least, the interesting stuff is the early stuff. The bulk of the Olderly Camera Project will be properly old cameras. Not cameras that have recently reached drinking age.
