Strangely enough, Ivor, I have a small collection of 'real' cameras, which includes a Rolleicord III which I bought very second hand (it had been a press camera) when i was 15, and Leica III which I use quite frequently. It is worth the faff of fiddling with it for each shot just to press the shutter release and hear the whisper of the precision machinery. It is a sobering thought, though, that my Leica, when new in 1934, and fitted with an f2 Summar lens was £66.00, or half the price of an Austin Seven saloon!
I still like my little DC20, though. It is the digital equivalent of a Box Brownie and just as simple to use.
