I bought this camera in 2004 though it is considered old by digital terms it still serves as a fantastic digital camera. I use it for my long exposure digital work because it the program shutter speed goes up to 60 seconds and also has a bulb function for even longer exposures. The camera also has a built in noise reduction system for long exposures. Check out my profile and see some of the work done with this camera. My photograph "Night Portrait" was taken with this camera.
