Well, I finally did it. I went out and bought an $18,000 camera!  Now I didn't actually spend $18,000 but that's what it cost brand new. I spent like $25.
A flash back to the Associated Press Kodak NC2000e (actually a Nikon N90s with a huge digital back attached).
Oh what 15 years will do to a camera. 1 MP, huge, slow, bad colors...
Here's a link to some information regarding the camera: http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/mul...id=7-6463-7191 and http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/mul...6463-7191-7457
Here's proof that it's the photographer and NOT THE CAMERA that determines whether you get good images (some really good images): http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/mul...6463-7191-7484
So, do you want one? I'll sell mine at 50% off the original price!

It's 1.5 - 1.6 x frame and the size is odd shaped. I bought it from a guy on SportsShooter. | | | |

I'm not sure if it works. If I can find a cheap enough battery I may play with it to see what it does. | | | |

That reminds me of my cell phone, fire department pager, etc... they were all huge bricks but over the years, thankfully they got smaller. | | | |
