In 1997 or 98 I purchased a Kodak DCS 260 "Professional " digital
camera, a whole 1.6MP resolution. IIRC paid about $800 bucks for it.
You can see it at amazon, they don't know when they'll get it back in
stock...

I think I last used it to take a group portrait of my *ist-D and DS
together. I think I first used it for a vacation, it was a pain in the
ass to use. Then for the rest of the time I owned it it sat on a shelf
collecting dust.
It wouldn't hold settings, not just after being powered up, but it would
forget it's when it went into sleep mode.
Damned thing ate batteries lke a 6 year old with a free pass to a candy
store.

Very similar to my Kodak DC-40 I won at MacWorld in January, 1995, 6
months before it was introduced. In searching for a photo of it, I
discovered it was priced at $699. Wow! what a piece of crap compared
to today's fare in digital cameras.

Remember the cameras (digital ones) 20 years ago? OK, I can fresh
your memory - recently I got 1995 Chinon ES-3000 (sorry, it's ONLY 14
years old).

The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or
drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling. If he does he is certainly a damn
fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a
free man any more than a dog.
