Umm, I bought this camera through Jesses Hunting Outdoors so I paid a little less. I think I paid around 265$ for the DC-2. It was well worth it though. In two months it has taken over 500 pictures. If that was regular film at 36 a roll at 10 dollars to develop...that would be roughly 150 $ for film development. This camera will pretty much pay itself off by next year!
