Idea for a movie, "The Birds." Oh! It's been done?
Great movie,.. and darn Goldie, did you put your camera on the ground with all that pidgeon doo for that last shot?
Nothing to it with the little Sony beauty that was my first digital camera.
It has a great swivel lens for easy shooting at all angles.
Although I've advance to a Nikon, I consider the Sony Cyber-Shot U50 to be a delight - and only 2.0 meg!
So small it fits any pocket - see attached photo:
I have a Sony U30, 8 years old, still works, but I don't use it anymore. It looks like a Minox, as does your U50.
Lone Primate, that was a cool personalized 'history of digital photography', thank you. The early digital cameras did have 'instamatic' quality output didn't they?
Top - Minolta 16PS, purchased in 1969 from Japan Camera then located on Yonge a few feet south of Dundas on the west side.
They sure did. I knew they didn't measure up to film, but the utility of them was just so fantastic. Go home, download, and you had a whole new "roll of film" for free. But the mind-blowing magic of the DC25 for me was that without developing, I could see if the shot I took was any good a second or two after I took it... and if I didn't like it, I could erase it and get that "frame" of "film" BACK again! Hear the herald angels sing... I knew the quality would improve, but just for the moment, being able to record anything, anytime, was enough magic for me.
Were YOU buying stuff in '69 (or was it someone in your family)? I had the impression you were younger than me. Of course, I tend to think that about just about everybody here. Must be your avatar... you take a great picture for an older fellah.
