I remember the first digital camera I saw and saying woooooow under my breath.

I remember the first camera the old lady bought in Indonesia. It was a Kodak with four megapixels. It seemed state of the art.

Bricktop

620x480 pixels.



You could count the dots.

What year was that? I think the old lady got her Kodak 4 megapixel in like 2003.

Bricktop

Around then, I guess.



I had a friend who owned a photographic store that specialised in developing film. He'd invested heavily in top end processing plant and equipment.



Fuji had just released a 1 megapixel camera, and although image quality was questionable, it was obvious that film's days were numbered. He insisted that film cameras would never die out, and digital was a passing fad. He folded about 3 years later.

That really hurts. I feel for the brother.

Bricktop

Yes. He was a good guy that backed the wrong horse.

I bought a three megapixel camera around 2001 or so.

In 2003 I bought a Finepix Fujifilm 2.0 megapixel with proceeds from one of my exhibitions.



I'm holding it now... I might go and see if it still works.

I remember buying a FOUR Mb Olympus and thinking this was the best camera in the world. Three months later, 8Mb began appearing.



Digital cameras evolved so rapidly in the 2000's...
