My eight year old stepdaughter has just begun experimenting with more advanced image controls after several years of using her Olympus E-500. The small body and kit lens are the perfect size for her hands and, being an SLR, she has been able to explore increasingly complex shooting methods with the same system. She started out, at around five years old, using it in full auto but is now practicing aperture, shutter speed, and flash level adjustments. She just recently discovered the self timer, so she's been keen on shooting self portraits with a small tripod. The light weight is also an advantage, especially for days at the zoo and the like. This system is so cheap from a used dealer like KEH, that it is essentially disposable, but she's so proud of her "grown up" camera that she takes incredibly good care of it. Her five year old sister has started asking for a similar camera (after years of playing with and old 620 and using a digital P&S). I think we may buy her something like an E-420 in the near future.

<p>In order to print my next body of work, I would like to rent or purchase an SX-70 Daylab base. I would greatly appreciate any specific leads on locating this apparently rare item. Please allow me to thank you, in advance, for your assistance.</p>
