My first digital camera !

Postby JR1 » Sat Feb 11, 2012 10:33 am

Many years ago I started and ran a registered charity teaching IT to the disabled, we were one of the first IT charities ever, and I bought one of the very first digital cameras available.

It was a top model, it had to be there were only about three others available !

Cost £600 1/3rd of a megapixel ccd

Well I have just managed to get a fully working one on ebay, boxed, complete, these will without doubt become collectors items, I have just paid £2.75 plus postage !!!!!!

Looking forward to posting some photos here

See how far we have come in just 15 years

Gosh that little camera paved the way in digital cameras. Can't wait to see what sort of images you can get. Could you do a comparison - same image but with a modern camera as well?

TBH when this came out this was state of the art!!! before didital you had to sing that old song...some day my prints will come LOL cos there was no one hour developing then. it was four days away in the lab and come back and find out all your images were rubbish( well most of mine were anyway) I can remember my first digital photo... a shot of the beach at Tenby where the big rock is with the building on and thinking.....wow...this is amazing. If I saw it now would I be filled with such awe? I think we are now spoilt with megapixels and the like. back then it was amazing fun dont you think?
Please dont hold back.Im here to learn and to learn you have to listen to the mistakes you have made,so tell me!
