The new thread for images from old cameras

E20 sensor was 8.8 x 6.6 mm = 58.08 sq mm. 4/3 sensor is 17.4 x 13.1 mm = 227 sq mm. So the E20 sensor was just under 1/4 the size of 4/3. I had an E20, enjoyed it a lot and eventually traded in for an E1.

It might be the biggest camera ever relative to the sensor size! But that that was how things were only 8 years ago.

Great picture by the way...

Thank you, Peter, that is most cherished information for me, as the E-20 was my first digital camera.

As good as the phographer taking them...at least for web posting. Nice work folks.

Even so, I like to have my hi-res gear for big prints.

Here's one of my personal favorites, taken in Rhyolite, Nevada with a 4 megapixel Canon G2 in 2003.

ah, nice pic. the fact of the matter is: most of us will never make big prints and that the web our main outlet. and even 3 mgs can be blown up quite large with the new software.

Gary, what a nice capture!
Wayne, indeed it is painful the way you say it, but somehow I feel elated when I use my two sweethearts, M8 and DP1. I wish I had them all the way:))

It seemed a fantastic camera at the time, but when it came to detailed comparison, the C5050 I had at the time was almost as good.

Anyway here is one from the E20...

Otumay,

After an E1 E300 and E500 I now have an E410 an E620 and a GX200. They seem great now but I wonder what they will look like in 8 years time?

Meanwhile, just to show why that E20 seemed so good, here is one from my first digital camera a Kodak DC210. This taken 1 September 1999 whilst on a business trip to Portland Oregon...

What a nice photo! I was just writing to a friend who is also a member of this forum that we share undying enthusiasm for our retired Kodak SLR/n cameras, the first ever full frame F-mount camera with a whopping 14 megapixels. When I look back at those photos, I see nothing missing in them. You may color me sentimental:)

Grand Tetons: Ricoh RDC1, 1998.
Macchu Picchu: Canon A5, 1998.

Ricoh RDC1 was my first digital camera. It it entered the market in 1995, featured 480x768 pixels and listed for $2495. It used Minox-style form factor and had a separate, detachable display. I got mine second hand in 1998 for about $300, I believe. Some info here:

Canon A5 was Canon's first consumer compact, 800x600 pixels, released in 1998. I think I paid about $375 new?

Lovely images all of you!

First digital camera? It seems digital technology has not traveled very far all these years. Beautiful capture and rendition.
