one more bit of nostalgia

Just remembered that one of our gangs had an old digital camera in their van, we do a lot of work on private houses and we take pictures of any damaged areas that are present before we start work ( you would not believe the things people try to claim for, one person tried to claim for 4" scratch on his 50 year old rough concrete path)
Its 8 years old and still working and its a massive 1MP and still has the original 8mp cf card.
It only has 3 controls in the menu, screen brightness, flash on/off and small adjustment to the exposure.
it has a 1" screen on the back
Just took a picture outside with it, to be fair its a bit dark out there.

WOW,You stole my thunder. I have a 6 year old Fuji 2MP camera & I planned to take some pictures after I got back from Spain just to show haw good the camera is even today. It's surprising just how good some of the old cameras were.
