Anybody collecting ("old") DSLR's ?

I have some old cameras(+30-40-50 years) and yesterdayI bought a Nikon DH1 in perfect condition, mainly just for collection purpose but I'm quite curious looking back to the results of a camera that I used to find great nearly 10 years ago...
After looking to the first results, especially while using this camera in low light, one thing became clear already, digital photography evolution goes incredibly fast...
Update: D1h photographic potential is better than I expected. 12 flowers with Nikon D1h...

- The LCD is completely unreliable
- The AWB is dramatically bad
- Resolution is that low that while using Nikon ViewNX2 and watching on a 21" monitor, the original image or a 100% view doesn't change image size very much...
Underneath an image opened in NX2 at 50%. The image was captured at iso1600 with my 50mm F1.8
..and opened in NX2 at 100%
- I must say that iso 1600 with this camera without PP or noise reduction looks much better than I expected...
- AF works very well.
- The little RAW file size is very interesting for some purposes, Nikon should provide multiple RAW file formats in their latest high end cams like Canon does(Canon 5DMkII)
