Question What is the Oldest Camera you own?

Lets Socialize about the oldest Camera you own! Go go


I have a Casio 10.1 Mega Pixels EXILM. NO idea what year I got it.

Well other than disposable ones of course. 😀

Well I guess I have not figured out how to post jpeg/images here yet.

How about you?

I have a couple Olympus OM-1 camera bodies from the mid 70's along with glass. Both bodies are still functional, as well the glass is able to be used on my 40 odd years newer OMD EM10 mk 1 and OMD EM5 mk 1 bodies. Considering the newest camera I own excluding the one on my phone is 11 years old I'm probably due. That said, both OMD bodies still match or even exceed what I can purchase today in image quality, only missing out on some quality of life features and perhaps a better autofocus system. So, maybe I'll wait just a bit longer.

Wow thats pretty neat, how does that even connect to transfer pictures or is it a proprietary memory card or something?

The old OM's are 35mm film obviously, the OMD's (OM Digital is basically what that means) are a retro take on the old system utilizing a 4/3 sensor and a new lens mount type, both modern bodies use SD cards, one also has WiFi to transfer photo's or control the camera remotely. For using the old 70's lenses on the new OMD bodies I use a mount converter, and must shoot full manual. I only use these lenses under more controlled scenarios where lighting isn't too variable. I also use them as the glass quality is VERY high. The 4 lenses in question would probably cost a few grand for their modern equivalents.

I remember thinking how awesome these first digital cameras were, but man did the industry move fast! My first one was from around then, also .3MP but it was an Argus of some kind, no idea where it ended up as I gave it to my father when I upgraded to a 1.3(!) MP Fuji.
