As someone who upgraded my digital camera every 9 months in the early 2000's, I find the current digicam trend pretty funny. Back in the old days, people would argue about how many megapixels you needed to have the same resolution as 35mm film. If you want to try a really unique digital camera, pick up an Olympus E-10 or E-20. It used a split prism viewfinder so you could see through the lens, but without the mirror of an SLR. The raw files can still be opened in Adobe Raw / Lightroom.

Brother. The point of digicams is portability. I'm not gonna carry a big ass camera unless I'm taking advantage of the lens quality

I bought this camera when it came out for 750$. It was pretty good back in the days with a constant 2.8 aperture at all the zoom range. I gave it to my mother a few years ago. Still working fine!

Great shots! And yes, the memory card - called an MMC card - was common back then, so was Compact Flash. I was about to throw mine away but decided to hang on to it after watching your video. I was actually looking for a 2nd hand street cam with street cred. The other "old" digital camera I used back in 2001 was a Fujifilm Finepix 6800Z . Took excellent pics )of produce in Cameron Highlands (Malaysia).

Cool video! I've never seen that camera before, it's probably a bit rare. However, I see it's got a CCD sensor, many old DSLRs have that too, and CF or SD storage, a bit higher resolution, and standard lenses, not 10$, but still cheap, for instance Pentax K10D, Nikon D40 or Konica Minolta D5/D7.

Another great video! My personal take is that the sweetspot is 5-7 MP camera's from 2004-2006, I feel they are a bit more capable. I've got many older Fuji Finepix and Panasonic LX camera's, but do like Olympus (C-770) straight out of camera. Love hoarding cheap digicams, having my eyes on a Olympus Camedia C-5500 at the moment.
