Faced with the daunting task of re-cataloguing my thousands of digital images into a new system, I cam acroos many photos taken with a number of digital cameras over the years and thought, hey, why not start a thread with pics from earlier cameras.
Here are the first of mine, taken with the following:
1. MAVICA FD-88, 1.2 mp (my first digicam circa 1999
2.OLYMPUS C3000Z, 3mp circa 2001
3. OLYMPUS C5050Z, 5mp circa 2002

Great idea. I've only started on 2006, a little by accident but that's a long story
These were with a Olympus e500, my "student camera" and first serius photography tool.

I went from film to digital in late 2004. Here is an image from 2005, the oldest one I have saved in my archive: http://photos.imageevent.com/jonas_b/fmforumsmonthly/fmforums2008/shellraffen_3113_v2.jpg
Oh oh. Oversharpened and noisy and leaning a bit. I recall I liked it, printed it A4 and had it on the fridge door for some time. I was trying to do industrials with my Minolta A2.

I greatly enjoyed the Nikon Coolpix 900 (my first digicam) but, on reflection, it was a PITA to use and images were miserable with poor dynamic range and color rendition. The 1.3MPixel limit was less of a problem, and the macro mode was great. I paid $1K including a whopping 48MB memory card! Here's an early pic from 11 years ago, before post and after:

My first digital camera was a used Leica R8 with DMR, and this is one of my first photos made with it:

These images demonstrate that it's not the equipment that makes or breaks a photograph.
I beg to differ. Poor ergonomic design prevents me from making some photos, flare, fugly bokeh or poor color quality will make the difference between a photo I'll keep and one I delete.
The best camera doesn't save a poor photographer, but a good photographer will soon find his limits with poor gear. It takes skill and good equipment to achieve optimum results.

My first digital camera was a Olympus E-20n. Didn't use it much at all. Disappointing IQ, weird interface, considered it more of a toy than anything else. Continued to use film, instead (still have it though, somewhere, should have unloaded it long ago). First "serious" digital was a Contax N Digital (I won't go into the wonderful aspects of that camera here - but I would give anything to have that camera with a modern sensor).

and one with the 50/1.4 wide open: http://boncratious.com/images/JapaneseMapleLeaves2.jpg
circa 1999
I came across this recently, taken with my first digital camera , a Nikon Coolpix 100 .3megapixel
