Ubiquitous. That's 1352 days. 4000 bucks. That's 34 cents a day! My D100 cost me 1700 bucks 472 days ago. So it's cost me 27 cents a day so far And going down As the camera has quite a few good years left from all I can tell. Unless I run over it. My m6 cost me $1850 in 1993 4206 days ago (it's an automatic thing in my database) So that's 2.25 cents a day. Don't come much cheaper than that! Cheap cheap!
