If any of my image-making friends wanna drop the $5K on this camera, I'm totally supportive. I want to keep Kodak alive as long as I am.
That said, even paying for repairs, my CP-16 is gonna cost me about $3,000 over seven years. I just got an 8mm camera that does almost everything that this camera does lest the LCD, for nearly nothing.
I love Kodak; but, this was a big miss on their part.
