As a certified Kodak collector I do my best to help keep that forum going. I have about 15 or 20 yet to test. As a matter of fact, I just picked one up a couple of hours ago at a thrift store.
The Casio forum is a little sparse. I only have one Casio model and I don't shoot it that often to post anything. Maybe if I had one of the higher end models.
There's not that many KM or Minoltas on the used market that is around my price range. I occasionally see 5D and 7D models but there usually is a bid war on those. I would like a G600 but they are not listed often.
Kodak Talk or Kodak SLR Talk? There are both. SLR is for the DCS cameras based on Canon and Nikon SLR bodies. I'd like to find one of those in a thrift store. I have seen them on Goodwill's site from time-to-time. They usually don't go cheaply.
I've been after a Kodak DCS Pro 14n for quite a few years now , but at the right price .
I have a few Nikon film SLRs , so a full frame sensor to use them with would be nice . ( not necessarily E mount ) .
It would also allow me to use my Tamron adaptall as intended as well .
The Kodak still seems to be selling for about a little less than £300 , one with it's "OK" button and sold "as is / for parts " is asking £225 , and a beat it copy held together with duck tape is £150 !
.
On the other hand , fairly high mileage Nikon d700's are selling for about £200 , so I might end up getting one of them to play with .
I'm keeping my eye open for a slightly lower shutter count example .
I did at one point have a Fuji S3 Pro that used Nikon F lenses and ran off AA batteries , which was handy .
That was quite a nice camera , nice ergonomics as well .
I sold it off when I had a clear out several years ago , kind of regret it though .
