The XR-10Ms used to be widely available and fairly inexpensive, but
since they've been out of production for a couple of years they may be
getting hard to find.  They are program auto-exposure (aperture
priority) or fully-manual (user selectable).  They have auto-wind and
auto-rewind, and an electrically-operated, vertically-moving focal plane
curtain shutter.  They are not auto-focus.

RBT used them as the basis for the RBT X2.
