This is all true. So why do you think that people would possibly want one?

I think they command high prices because only 10,000 were ever made. The
build quality is extremely good - with a metal chassis and skin. Hold a
Pentax MX and you're on the right track. Access to a formidable lens
range. 6MP is paltry by today's standards, but for making 20X16 prints,
that's doable. Certainly 11X8 is not a problem. How many digital
photographer's print their work these days? So for web work, 6 MP is way
more than plenty.

You know what? You can't even download the files from the camera or
charge the battery in the camera.

Yet if I had to choose one digital body, new or used, from anywhere in
the world, from any manufacturer or camera shop anywhere, it would be
this camera. Isn't that strange? Cannot think why :)

>...  And I've seen reports of reliability problems.

If you could point me to any reports of reliability problems, I would be
grateful.
