Fujifilm MX-700


My first digital camera was the Fujifilm MX-700.  I believe this was the first (or one of the first) "megapixel" cameras.  It had a 1.5 megapixel sensor and would capture a 1.3 megapixel photo.  Mine was a surprise Christmas gift that made for a number of years of happy shooting. It had a b/w mode and performed fairly well in low light.  It is a metal body, heavy camera that feels like a precision instrument.  It has a viewfinder and a small color LCD.  It didn't cycle or respond too quickly, so it was a challenge to get shots of kids.... But I learned a lot from this cam and with practice shot many priceless photos of my children, landscapes, and macros.  It has a manual mode and good (although small) glass.  It is still functional, except for the flash.
