One thing that improved since these cameras is no more moving plastic gears and parts that will fail due to dust and debris. Back then you’d often get a lens stuck because someone sneezed and you’d have to buy a new one. Also forget about taking it on a picnic or to the beach, you basically were signing up for a new camera as soon as you packed it.
