(Temporary intro part 2: thank you, Ciao! This op is now in the right place, so I'll remove this intro completely in a day or two.)
Now this really is a blast from the past. One of the last true Eastern Bloc cameras (with the exception of the cheap-and-nasty Zeniths), the Praktica MTL-50 (which can be found fairly easily in second-hand shops) is a dinosaur by modern SLR standards - it's heavy, it's clunky, and almost everything is mechanical. Which is why I like it so much. I've had mine since 1989, and it's still in perfect working order, mainly because there isn't a great deal to go wrong.
The main thing you'll notice when picking up an MTL-50 is the weight - it is far heavier than almost any modern camera on the market today. For some that might be a drawback, but for me it's a bonus, because that weight is a sign ...

Advantages: Hmm not sure Disadvantages: hmm still not sure :o)
stores for clothes.....always M&S for undies though.
8. If you could pick a Celebrity to be for a day, who would it be?
I'm not sure I would want to be a celebrity, I couldn't stand having my whole life in the spotlight all of the time although I wouldn't mind having their dosh!! If I am forced to choose I'll go for Davina McCall because I could give Pete a kiss when he leaves the Big Brother house
9. Would you prefer to be Smart and Ugly or Dumb and Gorgeous?
Can't I just stay as I am and be smart and gorgeous :O)
10. If you could pick to be anyone in the world, who would you want to be?
I would be me :o) but with a few less pounds on my body and a few more in my purse.
11. What slippers have you got?
Pale blue suede mules from Per Una, I have had the same ones two years running for Christmas.
12. When it comes to ...
Advantages: Easy to use with lot's of 'pro' options - great battery life - value for money. Disadvantages: Mono sound only on video - no hand grip - on board memory small.
Beautiful classic Praktica photos - by that i mean realistic, not enhanced colours that i had found in my previous (still own 3.2 mega pixel) Sony Cybershot.
Don't get me wrong i was more than happy with Sony's digital representation of the world around us and was often complimented on shots taken - but after using the Praktica and comparing photo's in iPhoto on an Apple G5, the Sony's had a colour saturation that is generally available as a 'touch-up' on photo software.
Choice of exposure and focal points give you an edge and these are represented as 'templates' for the inexperienced - lot's of other little options - including 'Pictbridge' make this camera a step up from the wannabe's.
A lot of camera for the money.
My only gripe is the front hand grip - there isn't one!! ...
