Canon G6 in 2005. I used the G6 for some stuff and I still shot film in my Pentax SLR and scanned it until 2008 when I bought my first DSLR.

Canon 1D bought it in 2001 and paid $9000 for it.

Just for you Derrell...

A Nikon D80 about 1 year ago.

Hahaha.

Sony VX1000 in '97 (a groundbreaking camera at the time), then a Nikon Coolpix 995 in 2001. Nothing really replaced my Leicas until the D3 came out, which I bought in November '07 as soon as it came out.

Kodak Easyshare in 2003... it had a bulb setting that gave the best results I still can't copy today... hehe

canon a85 was my first camera, then bought a minolta dimage a1 from a friend. It was really nice back then but the sony sensor went out on like 2 weeks later.

Technically I guess the Creative Labs Web Cam Go was my first digital camera, though was rarely used as one due to its whopping 4MB internal memory card and horrible image quality.

My first real digital camera was a Fuji finepix S3000

And First DSLR is my current D3100.

It was something by Kodak and I think it was 3MP. WAY advanced at the time! I think my mom may still have it. My first DSLR was a 10D. I still have it somewhere in a box.

Nine grand ..hehehe yep!!

Thanks for all the replies ..i'm honoured!

The Mavica was the one! The catastrophe of losing 4 TIFs with a floppy error!

"oh, the humanity!"

I think your Auto-Rikenon may be a Tomioka (Japanese Zeiss). Very nice!

My first experience of digital stills capture was using a Fotoman, in 1992 ;-)
Sub VGA, monochrome TIF; SCSI connect.

My first actual 'walkaround digicam P&S' was a Canon Powershot, around 1999.

My first "digital" camera was a Canon Powershot 600. That was Canon's first digital consumer camera and ... one of the first consumer digital cameras available from anyone. I think I still have it (it's probably burried in some bag somewhere. I know I never got rid of it.)

The thing positively gobbled through batteries (I needed to carry a lot of spare batteries with me.) Part of the problem was that I opted for a microdrive (a tiny physical hard drive which slid into the PCMCIA slot in the camera (no SD cards back in THOSE days!)

It got a lot of attention. People were fascinated by this camera that didn't take film. However... resolution was poor. I think it created 640x480 images and "technically" it wasn't really native resolution... it was a bit less and they did some software interpolation to stretch the image.

I still used my film camera (Canon AE-1) for most shooting and considered the Powershot to be more of an experimental thing that I toyed with.

Oh... the interface to the computer was also interesting. It came with a large bulky "dock" that you had to lock the camera into. That dock had a "parallel port" (like what would have been used for a printer in the 80's).
