As someone recently pointed out, a Spotmatic probably cost a higher
percentage of median take-home pay than a DSLR costs today. The problem is,
housing, driving, college, and healthcare cost much more, and we want many
more things (cellular phones, PCs, big-screen TVs, high-speed Internet) that
compete for our discretionary money.
