And, unfortunately, you could pay a lot less for more camera as well!
I'm glad that you like your Cadet.  I ordered one when they first came
out and returned it the next day.  Mine was very poorly constructed
and had numerous ergonomic issues.  The Calumet packages with other
cameras (The $399 One) would be a better deal, in my view.  As would
any of the CC400 series cameras. For field cameras, check out the Shen
Hao. You can see them at www.badgergraphic.com
