Where it All Started

+ Posted by Josh Hallett on 08.26.08 // 02:46 PM

This is where my photo hobby began, my first camera, and my first digital camera, the Kodak DC290. Sure I had other cameras growing up, but this was the first camera that I actually cared what I took pictures of.

Kodak DC290

At the time I purchased this legend in early 2000 it was one of the first 2.1 megapixel cameras and cost a nice $1000. Throw in another $200 for the 96MB compact flash card and we were in business. Basically the same I spent for my Nikon D80 and a few 2GB SD cards :-)

How far we've come.

I actually lost the DC290 I originally had, but saw this for sale at a camera store today, $38.

I actually still have my DC290. We use it here in corporate communications at the utility as a backup camera. Still works great.
