found this, a $2000.00 pro-grade digital camera, at my local GOODWILL for a whopping $10.00.
scare up some memory cards for it, find that, being based upon elements of NIKON design,
using lots of off the shelf NIKON parts, and employing NIKON's F-MOUNT lens mounting system,
it is fully compatible with my existing NIKON D5000's lenses.
four AA alkaline and 2 CR123A lithium later, it works, very well indeed for a 2002 DigiCam;
