Same! I really don’t want to tell you what I paid for it, it was a ridiculous amount. But, it did pay for itself when my son was born and while he was in the nursery (a bit jaundiced) I could take pics and bring them to show my wife that he was OK. Plus send pics to the grandparents on another continent.
My dad was a professor of photojournalism at the time, so he had a bit of a budget to buy fun toys to experiment with.
That camera didn’t make it into the mainstream curriculum, but he did eventually flip the whole department over to DSLRs and had a fleet of cameras to loan out to students
Absolutely, then imagine us putting those photos on page with a description of the dish, in the same order as the catering menu so people can see the dish and order accordingly.
Early 2000’s I learned enough digital photography, manipulation & excel to serve me the next 24 years…lol

So in the end it was worth it.

They were amazing for us in the kitchens to plate up & have a demo for the cooks the same day. Game changer for modern chefs. So fun.
That’s an awesome use! Particularly in the late 90s/early 00s
