The KX is a fine camera but I would rather use a SuperA/Super Program.
The KX is bigger, older ('75 vs '83), mechanical with mirror lock-up, and
ruggedly built with a nice feature of being able to see the aperture in the
viewfinder. It was replaced by the more compact MX.

Of course one could use AGFA's HDC + which gives you 3 free exposures on a
24 exposure roll., that means you get 27 exposures for the price of
24. One of our local supermarkets sells AGFA HDC+ 100 for $1.99 USD.

Paul,
I agree with you, having been in the industry for 20 years. However,
because some systems can be installed without reading the full manual, users
are trained that they don't need to read the manual. So when they encounter
a system that requires full reading, they wouldn't be able to tell.
I have mixed feelings about the Canon system. Certainly for those prone to
open the back instead of wind the film back, it can be useful. I have only
opened the back accidentally once on my wife's ZX-10 because she told me
that the film needed changing. I mistakenly thought that she had shot th
