My first digital camera was an Agfa that produced 640 x 480 images. But that's not the point - the digital imaging industry today is a mature industry, not the cutting edge technology of 15 years ago. A 6-year old 6MP ist-D, or even an 8-year-old 3.3MP Powershot G1, can still produce images that are perfectly usable for all but the most demanding applications.
