Or, you could use a $50 pre-war Rolleiflex (1938 Automat, Zeiss Jena Tessar, 3.5) and actually think about your image:

Nice, France, Outdoor Market. Fuji Velvia 50.

and actually think about your image

I now if it is art you are going for, art sometimes happens as the camera becomes the third eye what your trained eyes miss. I mean we can get all gimmicky for art, but if moving past a staged image is most rewarding..this article gives a layperson/student/younger generation a chance to experience the old in photography and at an affordable price.

Art sometimes happens by accident and the digital cameras or automatics can make it less of a chance to be surprised. Sure photoshop is awesome if the handler knows what he or she is doing to move past the usual steps. But is it still like coloring within the lines? Someone has made it easier-should art be made easy and then is it pure in its artform?

....the camera you mentioned also interested me..I have some shots taken in France as well, I favor. Yours is an excellent one.
