    Accessories for this camera:
  • None at the moment. It would be nice to have the case it came it. My camera is lucky enought to have the "T" bar intact. I also have a box full of the Magicubes that it takes.

 

In late July, I purchased 2 new cameras:

In November 2006, I purchased an I-Zone 200 camera:

I-Zone 200 

If you have not seen an I-Zone camera before, you will note that it takes very small photos, 1 inch x 1.5 inches. It came with 2 different film types: one regular, and one with a sticker back. 

 

In March 2007 I purchased a Spectra Onyx camera

I got this one from a local thrift store for $5, figured I would give it a try. Film is still very available, it has some control buttons and what looks like a sonar for auto-focus, and a built in flash. The film format is just a little wider than regular 600 film. I don't have to wiggle the cartridge in with the old cardboard or focus through a dark lens like with my Alpha 1 (not that I don't love my Alpha!) This will make life easier if I am taking photos in dim lit situations (i.e. clubs or bars) but is it an SLR camera?
