I purchased this camera in 1998 at a time whem most people would not have heard of digital cameras. It cost $1600 dollars - OMG
I still have this cameraa in perfect working order and take it out for a Sunday drive. Always amazed at the pictures it produces from a 1.3mp CCD.
One issue was battery consumption, a set of 4 NMHI batteries and a charger was supplied. In the late 90's NiMH batteries did not pack a lot of power (lower current ratings) and were expensive. I had several sets in the bag to keep me going for a couple of hours and always putting the camera into standby between shots.
