We’re still in the archive here, but at this point, Autumn, 2003, I’ve just decided digital has really arrived and I’ve bought the Minolta Dimage A-1, a “prosumer” all-in-one, 5 MP digital camera with a flip-up rear screen, built-in flash, 28-200mm (equivalent) lens – a camera I really loved. At this point, I haven’t yet learned about Raw and I’m still shooting jpegs straight out of the camera.

But looks like you were having fun with this camera.

Oh, yeah. Loved it. Of course, after a couple years, like most electronics, it started acting wonky, and there was the lure of bigger, higher resolution sensors, and lenses, and off-camera flash, so I traded up to the Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D which was another great camera until, it too started misbehaving and a new generation of 12MP CMOS sensor cameras appeared…
