sooooooooo..... I haven't gotten them and figured I'd check on the tracking. Amazon says they were left in the mailbox on Sunday the 18th. no one here remembers a package of 3 identical books showing up so my best guess is that they were promptly picked up on monday as outgoing mail?
whatever. 3 more ordered.
my film SLR was younger than this brick.
it also takes what they call a "Memory Stick" which was a defunct Sony-specific card. a whopping 64mb version was included with this camera.
not my photo, but one of these bad boys fell into my lap. now I just need to find a floppy! and what I'm photographing better be within range of a cord, because that battery is loooong dead.
take a sawzall and trim the entire assembly off and then you'll have way more access. the inner flare might actually be harder to find intact. at least for southern guys.
