I wonder if any of these cameras would be collectables one day, in the way that fountain pens are becoming sought after. Most of these were 'compact' cameras so wouldn't have the value of a professionals' camera from the pre-digital era.
i had a few fair good 35mm slrs, now gone. At about 2$ a print, rather uneconomical compared to the ease and cheap of digital. Sad. Very sad.
