Technical data-Update

Hello

Technical data of the cams should be updated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizon_%28camera%29

Perfect is like 202 plus 1/500 but new camera-design. 7 exposure times, without 1/15 and 1/30. http://www.rugift.com/photocameras/panoramic_horizon_s3pro_camera.htm

I like s3pro most because of 8 exposure times incl. 1/30 on the quick-rotation http://www.rugift.com/photocameras/panoramic_horizon_s3pro_camera.htm

above posts are by 3dreal...

please ID your comments, is easy, there is a signature squiggle in the little menubar above the comment frame...--Heritagefutures 17:26, 17 January 2012 (PST)
I fixed some issues, needs more work as there are several variations which do not seem consistent. I have commented out the specifications table until this is sorted.--Heritagefutures 17:23, 17 January 2012 (PST)

Reliability of early models

Is it worth mentioning that early Horizonts were not noted for reliability? I was working in a used camera shop in the eighties and at least half of the ones we saw had shutter faults, and I know that their UK distributors, TOE in Holborn had problems - they sold off several with unrepaired faults in a sale towards the end of the eighties. I can't point at specific figures on reliability, don't know if the information is available anywhere. --Marcus Rowland (talk) 17:54, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
