I suspect the statement is one of high level envy.

Nizo 801 (been used on several student films. Pretty solid camera)
GAF ST/802 (haven't tested it yet)
Yashica D (really nice prints from the 2 1/4 negatives)
Contaflex I (works fine)
Pentax K-1000 (real workhorse)
Cheap Sony 6MP digital camera (can't tell what the model is, because the lettering on the body has worn off after only two years :))
Fairly nice Sony "Digital 8" camcorder that the kids are using right now...it uses hi-8 mm tape but also has a FW interface. Nicer than many of the new consumer digital video cameras in a lot of ways...
Polaroid SX-70 (only used once)
Konica C35 Automatic Rangefinder camera.

Interesting what you say about the older Sony Digital 8 camcorder.

I was given one in 2006 as it is occasionally tempremental, but I have to say the larger size makes it more stable...and in any case the image stabiliser is superior to more modern Sony camcorders, including a bang up to date HD model I've been playing with at work.

I actually like it, and that is saying a lot for a camcorder. I like it so much I bought a firewire card for my main PC.

It also has something called "laser link". I've no real idea what that is, but I think it might have been an early "wireless" connection method...I am assuming you had a laser reciever you could hook up to the TV?

The other 9 got let go.
Interesting how things change, now I have four:

Canon 1014XL-S (used more than the rest...)
Beaulieu 4008 ZMII 8-64mm (Still my favorite but less ergonomy than the canon)
Minolta XL 400 (timelapse camera)
Nizo 148 Macro (sadly only working intermittently, but was going to be my kite aerial cine camera)

Soon to be added (hopefully): Eumig Nautica and Nizo Professional.

And yes I regret getting rid of the Zeiss. It was my favorite camera before the 1014XL-S came along. Very nice images and form factor (stupid manual aperture control).

My favourite UNUSED camera is my Eumig Nautica in the box - factory fresh.

My favourite UNUSED BY ME camera is the GAF ST1002 - I'm a sucker for bells and whistles...

Cheers,
Mike
