ok your camera still works still takes pics but does it look dated take as an example canon 20d and olympus e300 i am not saying new is better but give it 3 -5 years and todays new toys look very old in this digital age

Have to admit that my Bronica ETSR from 1984 does look a bit dated..... but the batteries lasted for a couple of years, whereas with my digital camera, on cold days like today, just an afternoon

What I mean is, digital cameras aren't old enough, but I don't think iin terms of dated anyway.
If you can use it, its not dated.

Possible exception, Sony Mavica with floppy drive, but I thought they were strange when they were new.

My roller skates (or quads as they are so quaintly referred to) apparently look dated but they perform well for me, I think the term now is not dated but retro same with my camera really

Does my camera look dated? Ummm I don't know. It looks very much like the one I had before, and the one before that. I never look at anyone else's camera to see what make/how new/shiny/dated/etc it is. Does anyone care as long as it delivers the goods?

How so does a 20D look dated anyway? If I remember correctly it looked much the same as my curent camera only a bit smaller...
