your first digital camera?

[Amira]

I'm with you Meta, Mine is also a Nikon D80 that I just got last week. I had one tiny digital camera before that I used only for family gatherings and candids and it took horrible pictures! It was a tiny HP digital camera that was like $20 at WalMart and was so pixely you could see squares in every picture! lol! =) I am definitely blown away by the clarity and amazing capabilities of my D80, or ANY SLR for that matter! lol! =)

Mine was a powershot something, but the button fell off, so I bought another powershot, but I wanted to be more 'serious' so I bought a D40

My first digital camera was a Fuji Finepix 2600Z, which served me well from (I think) some time in 2003 until about Christmas 2006, when it started developing a power supply problem. It still works ok using the AC adaptor, but now manages to eat a fresh set of batteries within about 20 shots, so it's not very convenient for taking out. As it happens, Wulf got a Nikon D40 for Christmas at about the time my Fuji was dying, so that inspired me to take the plunge and return to the world of SLR shooting with my own D40 about a month later.

I still have quite a few photos from my Fuji. Here's one:

Clicking on that one will take you to my Flickr account, where you'll find a load more (some of my early photos are ones scanned in from slides or prints, and all the latest ones are shot on the D40, but the EXIF info will tell you which are Fuji shots).

mine was the eos 350d. almost 2 years ago. no computer then = no digital camera. but it was an easy swap from my eos 500n(which i now am using)

Wow, mine was a POS Olympus. It had no zoom and a max of 1.3 mega pixels. I used some sort of memory card that don't even think exists anymore. It was a little card that was thinner than a credit card but about the size of an SD card. Camera is total crap by today's standard - but boy did I love that new technology when I first got it.

Mine was a Kodak DX6340, which I got maybe 5 years.

Here's one of my fave's taken with it:


More photos taken with the A20 here (some dupes because some are straight off the camera, others are photoshopped/enhanced versions of the same):
