A little more respect for elders

A little more respect for elders

It’s a bit thanks to cameras like the RD-300 and the DCS 620x that you can now use such high-performance cameras!

They opened the voice of high-precision photography to the changes of the last century. (1999-2000)

Wow! Over $10,000 for 2 MP... And we think camera kit is expensive now!

Which has the more realistic colours/saturation?

I would say between the two, although I have a slight preference for the RD-3000
