Oh my god. I take a lot of digital photos-on my Canon S100 and Nikon 4300 alone
I've shot more than 6000 photos in three years. But that DC120 wins by a long
shot. Holy.

For those of you who have never had the pleasure of the DC120, the camera had
the cracked lens, dropped off a table by the ex-fiance, has a broken strap...yet
some how still lives.
You get an eye roll for keeping the damned thing but a thumbs up from the side
of me that's a cheapskate.

PS-I was at Frys today in Dallas Fort-Worth. Frys is the weirdest store I have
ever seen. It has the ugliest retailing ever, with almost zero organization,
yet carries everything from PLCC sockets to dishwashers. Imagine my surprise
that you could buy a multimeter in the same room as the Steely Dan concert DVD.
I'm in DFW indefinetly as of yesterday. It's depressing to be stuck living from
hotel room to hotel room. :(
