My First Digital Camera's Brand, Model, and Specs

HP Photosmart 320, 2.1 MP, 4X zoom

Why, How, and When I Switched From Film to Digital

May of 2008, I purchased my first digital camera.

I still use my Pentax K-1000 35 mm for important occasions.

The digital camera was small and light.

I was looking for something less bulkier than carrying my two Pentax cameras and assorted lenses.

Lessons Learned

  • The camera was OK for my first camera.
  • It was easy to use and I considered it a trainer camera.
  • The problem I had with it was the slide door that holds the batteries in place broke soon after I purchased the camera.
  • Also the four batteries it took didn't last very long.
