Yep, old. It's a Nikon Coolpix 4500. It must be over 12 years old by now. I got it when I did for quick digital images for my work, but I didn't want to spend on a DSLR at the time because they were so expensive and not very mature. I've been slow to get a DSLR,waiting for larger sensors, which are not getting more common. The Cannon 5D Mark II is getting me interested.
I set the camera to do no sharpening, saturation, or contrast adjustments and to use minimal compression when processing the jpeg. I have looked at a hack to make the camera put out RAW, but it looked iffy, and Nikon seems to actively block such efforts (hence my interest in Cannon and Magic Lantern software.)
