This post makes much more sense to me than your original one, and are similar reasons as to mine for using digital for macros, for example.
Although it was made somewhat facetiously, the suggestion of buying non-working cameras does actually make some sense if you really never, ever intend to use them.
@ironlionzion No-one would think it a shame that it wasn't used for a daily commute, but we would all like to take it out for a spin. A more apt comparison would be to compare someone who took it out a few times a year to someone who never let it leave the garage.
@stevebrot I also know that feeling. Some of my cameras (e.g., my LX or my FED2) get much, much more use than others (e.g., my A3 or my MV1).
