There were many different cameras available during the early days in digital photography. Some were made of big-name brands, others by small companies. For example, the Nintendo Game Boy Camera was a digital camera that revolutionized how teenagers take photos. It also introduced adults to the concept of digital photography.
For the first time in history, a camera was able to capture a photo that was three times the resolution of an 8x11mm picture. This is a remarkable achievement in digital photography.
This was one of the most well-known examples. It was a revelation for kilopixel lovers. While it was a great camera at the time of its release its resolution of just 256x224 pixels was far less than modern digital 4K resolutions.
Other cameras of note include the Ricoh RDC-i700. This 3-megapixel camera had a hybrid autofocus system that paired passive AF and contrast-detection. The camera also featured a four-way joystick, which allowed users to select up five focus points.
Ricoh LX-22 Xobbox also has a notable camera: it features a translucent rainbow cornucopia front. This camera only requires one AA battery. However, its main feature is the novelty of its design. The front panel features a screen of ground glass that acts as a lens holder, rather than the standard viewfinder.
There are also many other novelty cameras. Many have distinctive features. Pentax Optio X borrowed heavily from Nikon Coolpix models in its swiveling feature. But the true novelty was that the lens could be retractable and not included in the swivel. The Canon barcode reader is a technological marvel, too, since it was created to simplify amateur photography.
The disposable cameras are another option. These small beauties retail for around 20 dollars per piece. These were an inexpensive way to get started in digital photography. They are simple to use and are not too fancy. The stickers also come with a small sticker that obscures the data connection. The stickers could be used to download your photos without having to break the connection.
Although most of these devices are older-school, there are some great newer options that you should check out. Ricoh GXR includes interchangeable lens/sensor units. It also features a flash built in. It can print directly on Polaroid film right from the camera.
If you are in search of a new camera for your home, be sure to take a look at the unusual and the small. You might find a hidden gem. Then you might be missing the next big thing with digital photography. You'd be better off buying a real camera until then. Although weird cameras can be more fun, they are also more costly to maintain. It's important to do your research before buying your next digital camera.
