A few months back I was given a box of random "camera stuff." In that box were a couple of point and shoots and the most random, weird digital camera I think I've ever seen.
As much fun as that weird digital camera is, one of the point and shoots came with a roll of film inside.
Today I took a battery out of my Nikon N70 and stuck it into that camera. It is a Minolta Freedom Zoom 160 Date (a mouthful is what it is). I turned it on, and it went right back off. After I turned it on again, I saw that the battery was about dead. Which doesn't surprise me. It's been in that N70 for close to a year and a half now.
The other battery from the N70 was strong enough to tell me that 7 exposures had been used on that roll. It was also strong enough to set the date and let me finish the roll that was in there. Fortunately it was a roll of 24. If it was 36, I would have probably had problems.
I'm both curious and terrified about what is on the first 7 shots of that roll. I'll be interested to see if the date is printed on the picture or not. If so, I will be learning how long that roll sat in the camera. If the film is any good.
