Cool! Do you remember what year it was?

i never thought i would ever use adigital camera back then.

I bought my first digital camera in February 2000: an Olympus D-340R with 1.3mp and a 36mm fov lens. My wife used it mostly and I just played around with it. I was still using my film SLRs though. The next year in 2001 we went to Europe with our backpacks for 4 months and only carried film cameras. While there I often wished I had a digital SLR though or some sort of flexible, capable digital camera. That was the last time I shot much film and I haven't shot any since 2002. In August 2001 I bought an Olympus D-510Z (2.1mp and 35-105mm fov lens) and started using that a lot. Later I bought a Minolta Maxxum 7 in January 2002, but then in May 2002 bought a Minolta D7i and haven't looked back. My Maxxum 7 has had only 2-3 rolls of film through it and has not been used since.

my minolta 7 has been neglected also ever since the km 5d came out i have a700 now. i think i would like to try the a77, but i had minolta 200 and took it back i could not get on with the video type veiw finder and it had trouble focusing in low light, that was some time ago the a77 looks much better.

A good piece of documentation, Mike.

B&W conversion works nicely for this frame.

Thanks for sharing,
