I started using a digital camera in 1998, it was amazing, it meant you didn't have to send the film off to be

processed and wait to see what your pictures were like. It was an Olympus C-420.

This is a photo straight from the camera, this is the best quality that you could get so I was soon looking to

change cameras, to get better quality.

The next camera I got was an Olympus C2500, which was a 2.5 megapixel camera which was quite a good

camera in its day.It had through the lens view finder and a resolution of 1712x1368 and had compact flash card

for storage and smartmedia card as well. The first compact flash card I got was a £121 for a 1GB card, how

memory prices have come down, 4GB can now be found for about £12.

This photo is resized and quality lowered so as not to slow loading the page too much to see a full quality

picture click on the picture. I was very happy with the quality of the pictures from this camera until I decided to

change cameras in 2004.

The next camera I got was a Nikon D70, a DSLR camera much like the old film cameras that I had had with

interchangable lenses. I had a 18-70mm Nikon lense and a 70-300mm telephoto lense which had most

options that I wanted covered. I got a 55mm macro lense after a while to help with closeup photography. The

D70 has a resolution of 3036x2010 which gave good results.
