Photo-The stranger in my camera bag

When i finally broke down and gave into the world of digital photography i decided to snag one that had the same F mount has my 35mm Nikon so i would not loose the huge investment in lenses. Well the 35mm is now no more (r.i.p.) and I am faced with the dilemma of learning a new (old) camera (that my mother in law was sweet enough to give me a few months back), until i can purchase a replacement Nikon. Kuddos for the assighnment that makes me get to know this stranger in my camera bag ;) so here we go!

3] year the camera was introduced, cost at introduction- introduced in 1981 discontinued in 1983 cost no idea cant find anything on what it was just what is now
4] camera type [slr, point and shoot, rangefinder, etc] Single lens reflex
5] operation modes p/a/s/t/m, etc] nada
6] battery type, cost.. 6v set me back about 4 bucks
