So who has had a cheap camera?
I think this one cost all of £20.
Camera make: MINTON
Camera model: DSC-80M-52
Camera version: Digital Still Camera W/O LCD V052
All it needs is editing out of the streaks from the setting sunlight.
Re: So who has had a cheap camera?
You got a fantastic deal there, but not as cheap as I was thinking of.
Re: So who has had a cheap camera?
My first camera cost me $5.00 at a garage Sale, 1969 Minolta Hi-Matic 7s. Used it for three years.

First one shot a long time ago, I found it on the Smart-Media card.
Second one shot today while my truck was being smog inspected.
b.t.w. This is a International 6.0L turbo-charged 32 valve V-8 Diesel (power stroke)

Re: So who has had a cheap camera?
Nice images, and cheap too.
My camera was 800x600 max, and took a very strange paper-thin media card.
All went off to someone's child to play with.
And I moved on to a Mavica.
Which went off to someone as a first digital.
One day, I suppose my 20D will be a hand-me-down for someone.
And the LZ-5.

Re: So who has had a cheap camera?
Either no megapixels, or LOTS once scanned :)
Thought you'd be by, eventually.
I like this one.
Should get my Brownie shots back soon ...

Also...my first digital camera was a steal at $150.00, and a photo from that ended up as the cover shot for a national magazine.

Re: So who has had a cheap camera?
150 isn't really cheap, let's set the bar at 25 or under :)
Re: So who has had a cheap camera?
Just picked up a FUJI FINE-PIX 2650 for $ 1.99 USD I'll be out shooting with this "cheap" but amazing 2.0 M.P. wonder soon.

Re: So who has had a cheap camera?
Just a comment on that diesel: It's amazing how much mass you can put in a valvetrain when it doean't have to do any revs!!! Crossbar welded to the end of the rocker arm!!! Really??!!!?!?!
Cheap camera, can't help you. I had the cheapest possible 126 Instamatic back in junior high school, didn't even turn the flashcubes itself, but I have no pictures surviving from those days, sadly.
Cheapest SLR was a Canon AE-1 with 50mm f/1.4 brand new for $100!! Friend of my sister's got it for his birthday in 1982 or thereabouts, and he had no interest in it whatsoever. I offered him the hundred bucks as a joke, had it in my wallet for some reason, and he wanted the money!

Re: So who has had a cheap camera?
I still use an Olympus XA2 from time to time. I think it cost $30.00 and I just finished a roll of Ektar I shot with a Canonet I gave $30.00 for at a yard sale.

Re: So who has had a cheap camera?
I had a Kodak disk camera that was cheap, as in crappy, and a Kodak Z740 that was similarly poor, but it was expensive. My 30D was given to me so it was cheap in the best of ways. :)
Re: So who has had a cheap camera?
I had a old point-and-shoot sony digital camera that just recently broke. I'm looking to invest in a dSLR!
