My dad gave me his old Sony DSC-R1 and I we got a Minolta Maxxum 7000. Very nice upgrade from my Point-And-Shoot. We spent half of July traveling around and took tons of pictures. Check out my Flickr stream for more pictures.

I got this guy on eBay for 99¢. But it was really dirty. I had to spend couple hours taking it apart and cleaning it. The good thing was that the design of this camera is really simple, that’s what made it durable.

I found this fella on a local classified, $75. What a steal! The body is Pentax Spotmatic SPII with Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 50mm f1.4. The lens itself is worth more than $75.
