Miley Cyrus' Nikon N80 on ebay (currently $14,700) ... I may lose my lunch!

Maybe there's some nude selfies on that roll of film

What's that camera really worth? About $50

the cost to make a more technically powerful camera is about 17 cents, so in theory it's basically worthless.

only one camera is Miley Cyrus' camera, I suppose, it's worth is fundamentally different from another camera that is otherwise equivalent.

Thank you for that, so where do Yorkshire's go between 9 to 5. I'm across the pond, so excuse me.
 
Mention of Miss Cyrus's camera does give rise to a question that I've often pondered and which I haven't found the answer to: why were Nikon film cameras like hers called N80 etc. for the market in USA, but F80 and so forth elsewhere? Can anyone shed light on this and/or point me in a direction to find the answer please.

I feel like this is a circular argument.

I could just as easily respond, "ah, but do you do?".

We can talk about me when I make a thread complaining about people buying Lonnie Donnegan's fountain pen.

I saw your original comment about "you people" being "so old." I found it amusing, but it wasn't clear to me just what you were referring to. Can you shed some light?

(And by the way, every day I am aware that I act and sound more like an old f*rt, so anything you can do to help me avoid that would be very helpful.)
 
I suspect this camera is something that was bought for her when she was a fair bit younger by her parents possibly and she's just sick of seeing it sitting on a shelf collecting dust.

I have to say I don't mind her too much ... she's very young and decisions made at this age aren't always something you look back on with fondness.
 
When I was a young man I tried never to make disparaging remarks about "old fools" because I had already realized that such comments are reflected straight back at you. In other words, when a young man calls an old man an old fool he is revealing himself as a young fool, and when an old man calls a young man a young fool he is revealing himself as an old fool.

Cheers,

You young people could learn a thing or two from us old people............

A good deal about what not to do for instance.:angel:

On the topic of this camera - I have to wonder who is buying? Any clue? Because it's obviously not some 15 year old girl.
 
It will be a collector/investor. Maybe the buyer can reselll this camera after whats-her-name becomes a legend.

I'm pretty sure they've reached the apex of their infamy. Unless of course they happen to suffer an untimely death which cements their fame eternally at whatever level it is now.

I have to wonder if anybody knows of anybody else's famous cameras being sold (non-photographers of course).
