My Digital Photography Chronology

I purchased a Canon D10 today and I started thinking of the different digital cameras I have purchased in the past ten years; eight total- starting with a humble 1.3MP Olympus (purchased for a trip to Seattle) and going on through the various point-and-shoots and DSLRs (most purchased for the past 8 years of Dragon*Con).

Not counting camera phones, these are all the digital tools I have used to supplement my visual memory over the past decade:

Circa 1999 Olympus Camedia D-450 Zoom 1.3 MP CCD 3x Optical Zoom 1.8” LCD Display 16MB SmartMedia Card My first digital camera! Given to a friend that gave it to another friend; still working! (but a bit hard to find SmartMedia cards).
August 2003 Fuji FinePix S5000 3.1 MP CCD 10x Optical Zoom Optical viewfinder, 1.5” LCD Display 512MB XD Card Gave to a friend and still working. Added a 1GB XD card.
July 2005 Casio Exilim EX-Z750 7.2 MP CCD 3x Optical Zoom 2.5” LCD Display 1GB SD Card My first camera that could record movies (MOV). Given to a friend that uses it as their primary point-and-shoot cmera
