Kodak DC50: In the mid-90s the digital camera revolution was just beginning. The Kodak DC50 was a simple, sturdy machine that took really wonderful pictures. I still have it and it still works reliably.

Olympus C-3030 Zoom: In 2000 Olympus came out with a megapixel dream machine, the C2000 Zoom, which has since been outfeatured by the C-3030 Zoom that takes a couple of minutes of MPEG video as well. I highly recommend this camera. It's light, its filled with features. It's easy to use. The C-2000 took the fabulous photos in my dispatches since 2000.

People also love the Nikon CoolPix, and the photos that Mark Bava took for my Burning Man 2002 Report were taken with it.
