love them because technology is cool, and i cant afford as much film as it would take me to get decent pics w/ a 35mm camera
hate them bacause i always find a stupid way to break them
case in point: dropped my current camera FOUR INCHES onto pavement and everything about the lense / lense related electronics went to heck.
tried whacking it a few times to shift everything back into place, no dice (hey, its not like i could break it any worse, right?)
pull it apart, some stupid clip breaks, sends the flash / viewfinder flying, which breaks the view finder image screen and rips an important ribbon wire (oh look, its now broken worse, lol)
drop the camera in frustration cause now it REALLY wont work ..... again about 4 inches, just onto a table this time... and all the optics click back into place
the lesson i learned: if hitting it doesnt work, hit it again
so i just bid on another broken camera on ebay, another one of the same, and out of the 2 ill have a working camera again. if that fails i know i can part out this camera on ebay
