i remember these first digital cameras. i had one with only a 3,5-megapixel image size.
the quality is not something, but the magic to have the images immediately appear on your PC was priceless. I wasn't much in photography these days, just purchased it for my son during our trip to Amsterdam. Not sure where the images of our trip are right now.
It's so insane to me how great we all thought those tiny grainy photos were back then just because they were instant. We have come so far since then, although I do wonder if we've reached a point where we can't really improve much more.
right, interesting to see the level we can reach in this "improvement"
bigger screens, more megapixels, deeper dynamic range? 😀😀
all these are very far from photography but more about the marketing pushing people to purchase another "better" camera every short period of time :-)
Completely agree, marketing is powerful, just how many megapixels does one really need? Are we making prints to be visible from space?!
I hope cameras don't become like appliances, with built in failures designed to force customers to replace them. 😕
yes hope for this as well :-)
its why I prefer these old manual film cameras which do not require the weekly software update for proper working :-) and no one boring developer or UI designer won't move the shutter button to another side of the body or something like this :-)))
