Cameras and equipment have pretty much always been expensive to me. I caught the photo bug in 1980 (it's not contagious but it hits you hard when you get it), and by 1984 I was researching my first* camera purchase....
Mouse and Keyboard It was certainly interesting to read everyone's thoughtful discussions of camera viewfinders. Thanks for that. The viewfinder is perhaps the most important feature of most cameras for most users, and yet one of the least discussed. A great viewfinder is worth buying a camera to get.
