My first digital was in 2004 I believe. It was a Kodak DX 6490. 4mp, 10x zoom, and a blazing 3fps. I got a lot of really nice shots with it. Used it for many years until the joystick on the control pad broke and I wasn't able to review pictures on the screen anymore. Since then I have acuired a Nikon D3200, D7500, and just recently a D500, and a collection of 6 different lenses. I also still have my old Nikon EM50 35mm film camera and a couple lenes that I purchased in 1982.

I had an Olympus point-and-shoot mid 1990s. It shot fine snapshots. Still used 3 Nikon film for travel.
Around 1998 I got an OK from the boss to buy cameras for the staff to document building conditions.
I went to the camera store as asked for their recommendation for a point and shoot less than $100 kit and got a recommendation for a pocket size Minolta. The salesman didn't believe it when I told him I'll take 12! Mine lasted till 2014 when the lens retractor and cover no longer worked.
About 2007 I bought a used D200. Two years later a Subal housing that I still use for underwater shooting.
The D200 let me use all my old lens plus the electronic camera controls. Now my primary body is a D7200.
Quite an adventure! One of these days I might take a suitcase of vintage stuff to NYC or put it on the web.

My first digital camera was a Kodak DCS4800 producing a 9 mb file if you saved it as a TIFF. I went to the Kodak Digital School in Camden Maine in April of 1990 for a week and was trained on an early version of Photoshop (probably version 2) My first professional camera was a Canon 10D. I closed my analog darkroom in 2007 and have worked exclusively in digital since then.

I first used the digital canvas circa 2003.
I primarily shoot digital but I still shoot film occasionally as well. I enjoy the luxury of being able to shoot with different canvases. IMHO each has strengths and weaknesses.

How is image stored?
If you're referring to my reply, storage was via Compact flash. About the size of a match book.

In about 1998 I bought an Olympus digital camera and had a very limited positive reaction to it. In 2000 Fuji came out with their Fine Pics S1, built in a very similar body as the Nikon 8008 film camera and I fell in love with digital. That camera had a 3MP sensor that actually somehow created 6MP files and I could use my Nikon lenses.
Those early files were not quite as good as my 8008 film images, but I could see the writing on the wall. I have been stepping up with Nikon ever since.

I started with a Kodak/Nikon DCS camera for quick photos of my architecture projects.

My 1st digital camera was a Ricoh RDC-2. Less than an mpg sensor, had to buy the LCD display separately.
I bought it 1996 for about $650 for the body. It was Ricoh's second digital camera.
I also had some of Kodak's early digital cameras, and still have one of them in working condition.
