I bought this for fun for $30 from a neighborhood store.
Nikon D3100 with Tokina 28-70mm f3.5, (I like to use a Vivitar .43x aux on the 28-70mm Tokina), Nikkor 10.5 mm fisheye, Quanteray 70-300mm f4.5, ProOptic 500 mm f6.3 mirror lens. http://donschaefferphoto.blogspot.com/

Good deal!
And 2MP is all most people need for up to 4x6 prints.
The megapixel wars are ridiculous.

Nice - imaging resource called that camera a good bargain when it cost $200. And while a whole host of things have gotten better/brighter/faster over the past five years, absolute image quality isn't high on the list.

Maybe when transistors and chips get even smaller, the mfgrs will be able to rectify that at a price we can afford.
It is really not too long ago that cameras were mainly mechanical, and half the size and weight they are now.
I am thinking of pentax and leica with the leather ever ready cases.
Now it is a not quite ever ready backpack. How long before we get a quality electronic zoom, and do away with all the L quality glass ?

Good for you. I agree. My "obsolete" gear is not obsolete in my house.
I bewail for the anger-ridden thing that has seemed to replace the pleasure of photography on so many forums: pixel-peeping drives blood pressure up. And it is a mere spit ago that we had no autocus points to worry about augmenting the number of...(sorry,...nurse, bring me my slippers and pipe )

Actually the old film cameras were heavy dogs and not ergomically designed. People used to buy special grips so they could hold them. Modern cameras (digital and film) are a lot nicer. This Fuji camera is fat and not especially designed to fit the hands. It is light though.
