Well, I own one 110 camera and it's the original cheapest model that kodak made. While it might be fun to shoot again at almost 8 bucks a roll I think I'll pass. Now if they wanted to bring back 126 B&W that would almost be worth it. On 5/21/2012 12:24 PM, George Sinos wrote: A new 110 B&W

The K-5/7 and the K-r were a bit retro, the *ist-D[x] and K*D and K2000/Kx cameras were a bit plastic blob modern, the K30 looks 1950s odd angles Alien with the K-5 grip grafted on. I hope they aren't going for high design because they're missing it by a mile. I'm still saving my pennies for

My view is not that a higher MP image makes an image better. It's that it has the potential to make it more versatile, and possibly better based on the end use of the image. My thoughts exactly, although for most amateur photogs, with a printed image being the ultimate use of all those pixels a
