Shots with a 1992 DSLR

Nice pics, Brian. Oh my, SCSI connections. Reminds me of my early Mac days. I remember seeing those big digital backs for Nikons and Canons at camera shows in the 1990s. Not many megapixels as I recall (or was it kilopixels!?). I seem to remember they had quite big sensors, and I thought most of the ones I saw were colour. I didn't pay overmuch attention as the price was way beyond me.

Colour wheel and three exposures for red, green and blue? Great Goodness, that's harking back to Clerk Maxwell in 1861 and his three superimposed lantern slide projected images!! (er, no. I wasn't around then. I may be ancient but I ain't quite antedeluvian ;D)

Fun shots, Brian, and a forceful reminder that digital photography is more than four years old!

Nowadays, $75 will get you one on Ebay.

The big problem with digital. I have 30 year old cameras that cost almost as much as when new. But 10 years with digital and you can't give it away.

I've got one of the old Polaroid Digitals that I used to hook up to Webtv, talk about crappy pictures. Now I have a Kodak Easyshare 5.0 megapixel. Nice shots by the way Brian.

These are interesting, Brian. You've been in digital a loooong time! Yes, they lose their value rapidly. Essentially they're little computers wrapped around a lens or lens mount. Like any computer technology, digital cameras have a high obsolescent rate. Who'd buy a 386 computer today? It's like that.
