I bought a Sony DC10 so i can install things myself and my wife can snap automatic (+ autoflash) pics of the kids, so both a bit happy. Had a lot of fun with the x700 during artacademie a long time ago.....
I get your point, but nowadays alot of people just shoot 10 pics of the same topic and selecting the nice ones afterwards and you end up with 100+ pics 90% rubbish, 10% pretty; while I feel with analog photography you catch the moment...only one pic, spontaneous, if you make a mistake...well too bad but it has its charms. Btw the place where I go it only takes 1h to get your photo's on proofing (lot cheaper than fulll version) + you dont lose them when ur computer crashes :p
btw...if you buy a reasonable priced camera (300-500€) its only gonna last for 3 years before its outdated...or they won't make the battery anymore or it will break down etc..., i prefer my 30 year old camera that still works...they are up on ebay for like 10€ and work like a charm
But still i got Sony H-3 myself too, but i'm not 100% happy with it... I mean it's decent but the pics seem too normal to me.

You should try it, I got two Olympus analog camera's (OM 2 + OM20) with 2 different zuiko lenses, it's not that hard to work with it, you can set the shutter time manually or auto...diaphragm manual, focus manual, ive never had a bad pic with it actually. I'll post some later on
