When did it all go wrong?

The FM was the first camera that I bought with my own money and I used it for almost 30 years. I sold it last year as I just hadn't used it in a long while and probably wasn't going to. Sometimes I miss it. But I still have the Rolliecord that my Dad loaned me before I bought the FM. Should send it in for a CLA and use it a bit. Then maybe I'll give it back to him, only 35 years late.Russ said:I don't use it nearly as often as I used to, but I still enjoy using my original Nikon FM. It's all manual, and a joy to shoot with.

If I were to find a digital camera that I could be assured could deliver the way my older cameras can, I'd get it. Perhaps one day.
SNIP!
"Making photographers out of bums, and bums out of photographers" I think the saying went (but that was in reference to 35mm cameras catching on with PJs in the 1960s!).narsuitus said:I did not vote in this poll because I don’t think that camera design took a wrong turn.
However, if I were forced to pick a time, it would not be one of the choices offered. Instead, it would be when Kodak put box cameras in the hands of the masses because that is when things first went wrong for the professional photographer.

it went wrong when marketing started to sell on features and tried to make cameras cheaper and cheaper by taking away build quality for toss and replace.

If it's so @#$ easy to use, how come there's a 400-page book in the box?
