Photos. I got a digital camera in 1999. I started with Olympus, moved to a Nikon CP995, then invested in Canon gear. I moved up to DSLRs around 2003, but continue to use point-and-shoot cameras. Modern cellphone cameras seem to get better results in indoor lighting without flash, despite having much smaller lens, sensor and focal length than regular cameras.
