i collect camera's , and to date have over 115 of them,
most are old box kodak camera's tho, like the ones you see every one selling at car boot sales, the thing is, they were made in their millions , litlerally millions, and so dont command the price most peeps ask for them, i have a copy of McKeowans camera guide, and they list em at around $2 each in mint condition,
however, like most things in this world there are rare versions, like the half dozen ' Mickey mouse ' box brownies, they are worth several thousand...( and there is one they cant find , we live in hope )
again, this camera in the link is a milestone in development and comercial standing , it will demand/get a price of what someone will pay to ' have it '
in short 99% of camera's are worth a lot less than you think, and the 1% left are worth way way more than you can imagine,
its finding the 1% that makes it fun
btw, the version of McKeowns i have actually has the camera in the link on the front cover , it is rare in that it is also a Canon with a Nikkor ( aka Nikon ) lens, These camera are comonly accepted as the forunners to both the Nikon and Canon camera's that followed,i think i'm right in saying that the Nippon Kogaku mark changed to Nikon to save confusion , my 1998 book estimates top condition value at around the $10-$12,000 mark , prolly gone up since then,
MyPix
ps, so as for the Canon/Nikon wars , they all started of life the same camera:thumb:
