Ever "rediscover" a gem that still defies the odds?

Re: Ever "rediscover" a gem that still defies the odds?

There's a reason why medium format camera makers were slow to adopt CMOS sensors. CCD sensors can be amazingly good. I still have my G1, the Pro 1, and the A590IS loaded with CHDK.

Despite all the bells and whistles on new cameras I think there's a compelling argument for buying older cameras, especially if your intent is to publish online or restrict printing to 8.5 X 11. 8 or 10 mp is all you need.
