Some mighty fine photos have come out of those cameras. At 350 or 450
bucks, they might make an ideal back-up camera for the newer Nikons,
and they also might make good cameras to place in situations where
they're used as more or less disposable auto firing, or remoted fired,
cameras, where destruction or major damage is a possibility. It's one
helluva lot more economical than having a 5K body wiped out.
