discontinued and you can't find it anywhere.  That's how I ended up with the
Nikon instead.  (Which I don't think is a bad thing now!)

(...) Yeah. I'm short on funds too. That's why I'm selling some of my extra Lego in the buy-sell-trade column. I think It's gonna be a while until I get myself a decent camera. :) Just my two brickz... <<_Matt Hein_>> Lugnet member NO. 1112 (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish.photography)

(...) Now THAT'S interesting. At twelvish, huh? Maybe I should have asked the other moms how much they give their kids instead of relying on my eight-year-old to tell me what kids these days are getting for an allowance....
