Early 2001 I bought my first digicam, a Canon G1, this huge 16mb beauty came with her... those were the days

Anyways, just an excuse really to play with my new lens

P.S. Both are full frame shots just resized.





Canon EOS 40D EF100mm f2.8 USM

Hidey-ho Neighbour!

Nice retro flashback. I was in high-school in 2001 and remember using a Sony digital camera with a slot in the side for a floppy disk. I would have killed for 16mb. Them was the days! (but not really).

The Mavica was it? Can't quite remember the name of them. Shot at 640*480 if i recall correctly!

Love it! I don't think I had even seen a digital back in 2001. I was happily snapping away in my Minolta APS camera and spending a fortune on processing...

Nice close-ups! electronics always fascinates me

WOW! 16MB card, I got into digital late, so we were already talkin 256/512 MB as being bottom of the line.
16MB would be 2(maybe 3 if your lucky) RAW images with my camera

I can't even fit one image from the D300 onto the Nikon branded 8MB card that came with my CP 950 in 1999.

Our digicams prior to that just had embedded memory. The Kodak Digital Science DC20 has an optical viewfinder and no LCD or flash.

And it still has power!

Cheers for the comments... Oh and the little 16 still works, might see if I can inclose it in clear resin and put it on my keychain

I was still on film until 3 or so years ago

And we held a film day just a month or so back, for those who were either missing the smell of hypo, or for those who just wanted to play.

Sounds like a great idea, nothing wrong with film.. but these days I sure enjoy the convenience of digital.

Hahahaha.... Film... I'm sure so many of you are going to find what I'm about to say utterly hilarious.

I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE PUT FILM INTO A CAMERA, AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO.

I'm really that new to photography. I've been taking photos with a DSLR for less than 2 years (+12 months on a point and shoot digital, and the occasional snap with an early digital as mentioned above). For years, there was no appeal at all. I didn't understand it, nor did I take the time to.
