How much did you pay for it at the time? I can't remember how much I paid for mine but I know it's more than $1000 :oops:

It was around $900 if memory serves me correct and that was a good deal at that time because it was just released replacing the older Nikon 990. I got the deal from a friend who worked at Audiotronic.

My niece used to work at a camera store and I needed something to replace my film camera (Minolta) before I went to Mexico. So I never questioned the price. It was my first P&S camera and at 3mb it was the largest at the time.

That was my first camera as well. For 2MP, it still took some darn good photos.

I also remember paying $210 for a 128MB Compact Flash card!

My first digital camera was a Minolta DiMage F200, back in 2003:

IMAGE: http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/mi/minolta-dimage-f200-blue.jpg

Shaped like a small brick, with not-so-wide wide-angle, but full manual controls, it made great pictures and got me well and truly hooked on photography. The next cam was a 300D, more or less just after it came out. The rest, as they say, is history.

5DII | 300D | 30D IR | 17-40L | 24-105L IS | 70-200/2.8L IS | 100-400L IS | 15 FE | 35L | 50/1.8 mk I | 135L | Sigmalux 50/1.4 | Sigma 105/F2.8 Macro | C/Y Planar 50/1.4 | C/Y Distagon 35/2.8

Aaah found it! The Casio QV-5000SX!

IMAGE: http://www.casio.com/resource/images/large/qv-5000sx_large.jpg

It was 1.3MP, took shots at 1280x960 resolution, and had NO slot for memory cards. It had 8MB of internal memory, which meant you could take a whopping total of 12 full-quality pictures. And it still felt incredible at the time - particularly to a 17-year-old who'd been saving up for it (I think it was my first ever eBay purchase, only $200 because the battery compartment needed taping).

And the best part was the IQ. Here's a sample from IR's review:
