Your EARLIEST image with a digital camera is....

DSC_0001.jpg

20th April 2003, DSC_0001 ineptly processed from the D100 NEF. According to the EXIF I used a Tamron 24-135mm which I still have.

Christmas 1999 - A picture of dad's car taken with the mighty 0.27mpx Kodak DC25. Not much likes opening the old K25 files these days.

The camera didn't last all that long as I blew it up by using the wrong charger. (like all 13 year olds would) Side note, I still own the car 21 years later.

I had a digital camera in the early 2000s but the display was only about 1/2" wide and the files were probably less than 1MB in size. I didn't know what I was doing back then and it only ever got used for (bad) snapshots. In February 2007 I saw someone with a Casio Exilim EX-Z700 and it had an absolutely massive LCD! It was all of 2.7 inches! I was so stunned I just had to buy one.

I don't know what's happened to the very early photos (probably on a CD somewhere) but here's the first photo I uploaded to my new Flickr account at the time. It's an art installation that stood outside the Royal Academy for a while.

December 1999

My son, taken as a test shot on my newly acquired Olympus C2020Z, a 2MP camera. I managed to leave this camera on a train a year later, so replaced it with the newer C5050Z, similar but with 5MP, and I managed to take some great shots with that. I still have the C5050ZP1010003.JPG

Yup. I lived in Southall/Greenford/Ealing for fifty years and I think that was the only time I visited it. We left London in 2006 and only return under duress.

That was the D30. The 30D came along in about 2008, and was 8MP. It's very dated by today's standards, but I still use mine and have never felt any real need to 'upgrade' it.

Does anyone remember the early digital cameras that used a 3.5" floppy disc? I think a disc had enough capacity for one shot...

I had a D30, and then upgraded to a D60, which I still have somewhere, but no longer have any Canon lenses, or batteries that will hold any charge. I know it is the most I have ever paid for a camera.
 
I must say, some of the image quality on these from early 2000's are really quite good! Albeit on a small phone screen. Noone in my family had any digital cameras back then, I think it would be quite freaky to see an image of an 17yo me in such a photo!
