Look at the lines on this camera. And one thing missing from digital cameras -- the weight. When I used to shoot with a Minolta 7xi - my camera of choice - it had real weight to it. And, once, in all my years of carrying Minolta cameras, I dropped one. And you know what happened when it hit the street? It had a teeny tiny scratch. Picked it up, dusted it off, and it worked fine -- no problems. You drop one of these digital cameras and you better be ready to buy another. Give the cameras we used to photograph the respect they deserve -- they were built tough and they lasted.

Not "Totally Automatic"
