First Digital Camera:
Creative Lab PC-CAM 300
Year: 2001

Got this while in college. It only had a resolution of 640x480 & took video at 320x180. It had no LCD screen to review shots. It in general sucked; but hey it took shots.



Second Digital Camera
Nikon Coolpix 5600
Year: 2005

This thing had like a 1.5" lcd screen, 5.1 megapixels of fury, took SD cards, generic portrait/landscape/sport modes. It took video I believe at 640x480. At the time I thought that this is "it" as in the last camera I'd need (haha). Overall for the times, not a bad camera really, blew away the creative labs POS.



Third Digital Camera
Nikon Coolpix S210
Year: 2008

This camera wasn't so much of a step up from the 5600 in terms of features. It was just a refined version. More megapixels (8.1), larger screen (2"), lighter, better image compilation. I like this one quite a bit, it makes for a good carry anywhere camera, still carry it now for on the go shots.



Fourth Camera
Canon T2i
Year: 2010

This is the big dog. I don't need to explain it to anyone. I got it with the 18-135mm kit lens as pictured. This one is a huge jump in terms of features and performance for me. It might come off as a strange comparison, but the jump from the S210 to the T2i was about as epic as the jump from the PC-CAM 300 to the 5600. You gotta love the progress of technology.

Oct 2001, bought a Sony DSC-P1 while vacation in Hong Kong for HKD5000 (~CAD1000 at that time's exchange).

Quoting from dpreview: "Sony's smallest digital camera to date" - Sept 2000

My first digital camera was an Olympus D100, sometime in 2001.




My first DSLR was a Nikon D70, which I got in 2008.




I currently shoot a Nikon D700.
