My first digital camera was a Casio. It had several advantages over other digital cameras, but most noteworthy were the very fast shutter speed (less of the usual lag) and very competitive price (~$250 when the competitors were mostly $300+)

The prices have plummeted, and these cameras are now so cheap as to be near disposable:

    My 1st digital camera was a Sony Mavica and recorded to 1.44M floppy disks (remember them) .. I took my eye off the revolution with a statement to myself “this ain’t gonna replace film” .. wrong .. now I’ve got a lot of pretty techy paper weights
