I didn't know Imaging-Resource was over ten years old!
It's impressive that they have kept their old articles through what must be several redesigns since then. Check out this page, mentioning an upcoming Minolta camera, $6000 for 2.7 megapixels... (And if it was like all other cameras of those days, crappy megapixels too.)
Nowadays if you can find a 3-megapixel camera, it'll be one the dealer throws at you as you leave the store because you just came in to complain that your new $200 camera "only" had ten megapixels.
... I also didn't know they have a tutorials section. (IR: you should promote new pages in sections like this in the News pages, so people hear about them.)
I know what you mean. I paid $2000 for an Olympus E-10 three weeks after it came out on the market back in 2001. I still use it, actually - the lends is sharp and none of the pincushion or barrel distortion that most people don't know about - or care about. All they want is to 'take a pitcher'. One of the only other remaining irritations about photography are all the people (and images) that tilt the horizon 45ยบ to get as much in the shot as possible. No common sense there at all. Their O2 should be turned off just for being F stupid.
