If you're looking for a point-and-shoot, and photo quality is more important to you than "bells and whistles". This is the camera for you.
If you read my review of the contax T2, you may have noticed that I think it's the best point-and-shoot there is; but this is definately the best camera for the price. Weighing in at under 200 dollars, this camera has a similar Carl Zeiss lens ( I say similar because it is a 3.5 rather than the T2's 2.8 lens) but costs about 25% of the T2's lofty price tag.
Picture quality? Well, unless you're a professional I doubt you'll notice the difference between the two (in terms of both clarity and color saturation). Where the Yashica T-4 Super falls short is in the aspect of control
While it has an excellent lens and good metering, you lack the contol of the T2. Aperture control...sorry the T-4 doesn't have that. Exposure compensation or a bulb setting, nope this is just a point-and-shoot.
So, should you buy the T-4? If you just want to point the camera and take a great picture, the answer is yes! If you want more control over things such as shutter speed and depth of field, this is not the camera for you.
