Kodak Digimatic 100

Stuff so brilliant that I was
about to think of it myself.

Instamatic
  If the company that calls itself Kodak today had a brain, it would copy the "Instamatic 100" from Kodak's greatest hits, drop a first rate lens in it, add some great chips, a view screen as big as the back of the camera, and rebrand it as the “Kodak Digimatic 100.” Instant win.

I still have mine, with the original case and a supply of flash cubes...
Have my original Kodak Swinger, too.

I thought Ford missed a bet when it didn't bring out a Mustang based on the original sheet metal but with all the up-to-date bells and whistles. The number of Boomers who grew up with the orginal Mustang - it'd sell like pure madness.

I collect wine bottles. Oh I know, it's not for everyone. It takes a lot of time to empty them.
