Doing a clear-out and found an old camera I had. I knew it was old but not this old (May 1996). Practically worth nothing now. However, I may try to find some camera film and see if it works. It does switch on so wish me luck. I can parade it around, along with my old Nokia N82 while others 'bump and shout' with fancy digital cameras and up-to-date smartphones :0) Look out for me at Nokia World 2010.
Oooo... do they still develop images from those films? My blogging might be a tad slow while I wait for the images to be developed!
