• Same! I really don’t want to tell you what I paid for it, it was a ridiculous amount. But, it did pay for itself when my son was born and while he was in the nursery (a bit jaundiced) I could take pics and bring them to show my wife that he was OK. Plus send pics to the grandparents on another continent.

    So in the end it was worth it.

      My dad was a professor of photojournalism at the time, so he had a bit of a budget to buy fun toys to experiment with.

      That camera didn’t make it into the mainstream curriculum, but he did eventually flip the whole department over to DSLRs and had a fleet of cameras to loan out to students
