I scored a Fuji AX200 on closeout at Walgreen's for $21 a couple of months ago. 12mp. AA batteries .Does the job and don't need to worry much about it. Replaces a Canon A340 (?) that I paid $150 for 5 years ago.

They do seem to be going away from AA batteries, just as they did away with eye level viewfinders. Pity- I must be getting old. Still have my Rollei 35, but who needs it?

I cut my teeth on blind focus 620 film format folding cameras. Got an AA in photo and spent countless hours in a darkroom processing Kodak C4, C6 etc. Color printing.....view cameras, SLRs, TLRs .... Any idiot can do it now. Another craft shot to hell thanks to technology.
