When I was 14, I saved up $140 US to buy my first SLR. Not having a car, I arranged with this guy who worked in the same store as me to go barter for a camera at the photo shop. Amusingly, the plan was to buy a low-end Nikon, I believe some flavor of Nikkormat. He came back with an SP500 because he was able to get a better deal. Of course I had many later chances to switch to another brand, but I always seemed attracted to the Pentaxes.
