Ten years ago

Ten years ago this thing, this digital camera, this Leica was top of the game, with cable to connect to TV, serial pc connection, a full set of various options! It cost 750€ (150.000$00 escudos, at the time, very expensive)!

Today, it's 1.3 or 1.5 megapixels(never know which one is) it's noting...This photos were taken by my 2.0 megapixels sony ericsson mobile phone (crapy)camera!
My father bought this camera in 2002 in a second hand material shop, for half the price, what capture his attencion was the brand! I even didn't know what leica was, with was my introduction to leica.
Funny, it was a digital leica with 10 years, that has no quallity compared with today cameras (or even five/four years ago cameras), but with my IIIc with 60 years I can still take good photos.
Of course several things here are at side like films/lenses, development,print,scanner, etc!

The latest videos of my band were taken with an iPhone, and are arguably better than the ones made last year with a videocam.
