It really uses batteries fast. It's bulky, and then there are the add on lenses. I'm not sure my cardreader can even read the cards, so old they are. And I don't have a spare serial port on my computer to make use of the serial interface on the camera (and later computers don't even have serial ports). It's a massive 1.6MP camera. Must have cost a fortune when bought new, it has little value now other than history (and likely some time down the road it may carry value as "antique"). I'd hang onto it. These things are already becoming collector's items. What is missing from cities that we need are museums of electronics. I saw an identical model to my 5-year old Razr cell phone at the Museum of Modern Art this weekg. In a photography exhibit with some old cameras etc. http://www.sfmoma.org/exhibitions/408 -link doesn't show that part... Some of the progression in the various fields is fascinating. I saw a watch like one I used to have in an exhibit at the Smithsonian Air& Space Museum a couple weeks ago. It was near the entrance to a section on the impact of digital technology on flight testing& aircraft design methods. IIRC they also had a Little Professor toy much like one I had when I was a kid. Let's bring this back to photography. I found a camera for supy: http://www.etsy.com/listing/37266852/vintage-kodak-camera-hot-pink-mickey -- Peter |
