I bought this camera as new old stock from a catalogue returns shop at less than
a third of its original price, for which amount you can now buy a digital SLR, the
very reason that such a camera as the C-5050Z will be most unlikely to be made again.
Even though my eyesight makes it difficult to obtain the most out of this remarkable
camera, it quickly became the one I most tend to reach for on my way to the outdoors,
except that to save risking it out, I bought a cheaper, but almost as nice, C-4040Z.
