The specimen on the left: Kodak DX3600. My first digicam, purchased in mid-2001 in UK. The specimen on the right: Fujifilm C20. My most recent digicam, purchased in mid-2012. How do they compare?
DX3600 has a 2.2MP sensor, 1.8inch LCD, 3x optical zoom, compactflash storage and weight at over 200gms. C20 has a 12MP sensor, 2.4inch LCD, 3x optical zoom, SD card storage, weighs 125gms and supports more picture modes than DX3600. DX3600 was a respectable entry-level digicam back then, bought at a time when the sales of film had not started dropping in India. I had paid Rs. 28K (rough conversion from GBP at the 2001 rates) for DX3600 + another 4K for 64MB compactflash card. C20 is one of the cheapest (branded) digicams available in India now. I paid Rs. 2.5K for C20 and re-used existing SD cards. C20 is around 68 times cheaper per megapixel compared to DX3600! What a difference time makes!
BTW, my DX3600 is still functional today and still takes acceptable pictures!
