I picked up a paper around my house and started reading it and said the same thing (huh?), thought I'd share it...

It better cook and clean to make up for the other megapixels.

Was this newspaper about 4 years old?

Wow, an 8MB SmartMedia card! Now THAT is a technological advancement!

I don't see what the big deal is, assuming that this picture is very old.

I think rather than looking for cameras you should be looking for house cleaners.

This is a little older.

This is too recent to really be startling - I actually paid $499 for a 2MP camera I still use (a Canon S300). The more interesting ads are the older ones for a 386 system without monitor for $3,000, or a 30MB hard drive for $1,000.

I paid $700 for 2 Megs...that was about 6 or 8 years ago though

 

[aircooled]

I had that camera when it came out (paid 500 for it). It was a great camera, just replaced it last year with my Canon A510.

ok if the paper is 6 years old and you picked it up since it was "around my house" i suggest cleaning just a little more often!

Now we're talking! You could always count on RS/Tandy for outrageous prices back in the day.
