Managed to win an Elmo sound camera on Ebay...owned by the late, great, Francis Williams who once wrote excellent columns in Movie Maker & Making Better Movies magazine. I of course checked out the evidence for the validity of the seller's claims, and it certainly looks to be the exact camera we have all probably seen in those superb magazines.

Wow, is that his beloved 350SL? I bought one solely because of his recommendations. Still the best I think-- I always tell people, 'get this one!' because it is a great starter camera and they always run and run and run... I've never seen a bad one, anywhere.

Francis Williams-- his articles should be collected together, really.
