Ricoh GR Digital 4. Super compact, great B&W output from its 10 megapixel 1/1.7″ CCD sensor. Not that old, but it's the oldest digital camera I still own (but hopefully not for much longer). On sale in the Classifieds. 😉

One of my first digiital photo's. Taken with the demo camera borrowed for a few days from the dealer. So 1997 or 1998.

I bought one, an Olympus C-1000L and as it had an instruction book with it I discovered I could turn out bigger (1024 x 768) pictures.

Later on (2001) I got the Olympus E-10 and just loved it:-

The problem for me with the earlier ones was the cost of the media and their small size.

I also realised I needed a small pocket camera and had a Fuji MX 1500.


Regards, David

The old CCD sensors sure produced some nice images. I might see if my old Nikon D200 still works.

This thread is perfect for my Canon G6 that was modified for IR years ago.

What a great thread. It really shows that the old cameras were more than capable of making great images.

The Canon S45 was my first digital camera, back in 2002. Almost all of the images on my flickr account from the S45 have no postprocessing.

The S45 began my odyssey into full blown obsession with photography. After the S45 came the Canon S70 in 2005.

Long exposure in Sydney, near Anzac Bridge:

The Fuji F30 in 2006 brought the remarkable Super CCD with unusual pixel layout. This gave better high ISO performance than other small sensors of that time.

Southbank in Melbourne.

2006 also brought the Canon 30D with its 8mp aps-c sensor. At the time, I wondered why the heck I hadn't got a DSLR until then. The image quality compared with a small sensor camera was ridiculous.

Somewhere in Sydney, or maybe near the Blue Mountains. Being able to see the highlight details in the car park lighting was unheard of before I got this camera.

This year, I've started to use it again, and being able to use Lightroom properly has given new life to the old sensor.

Somewhere on the beach in the southeastern suburbs, probably near Rickett's Point. Canon EF-S 17-55mm f2.8.

But the sensor which really wowed me back then was the Sigma DP1 from 2008. Holy cow. The dynamic range, the pixel level acuity, the recoverable shadows and highlights, the wacky colours, it was like shooting slide film. That Foveon sensor was unique and incredible. I actually stopped using film as the DP1 gave me the experience of shooting film in a lot of ways.
