Digicam History
Sunday, June 18th, 2000During my travels to France my third year at Stanford University, I had brought along my family’s film-based camera.
The first camera that I could call my own was digital, an Agfa ePhoto 1680 (pictured below). The 1680 is a 1.3 megapixel camera with a very handy swivel lens design that makes it a snap to compose great over-the-head shots and self-portraits. This camera design does have one drawback—it’s too big and bulky to tote around on a daily basis. Overall, though, the 1680 has served me well for over a year and a half, from October 1998 to June, 2000.
