I was into my second year working as the Picture Editor for the Chinese Newspaper Division at Singapore Press Holdings.
Digital camera was at it's infancy and costing S$30 - 60,000 each (body only)!
Kodak has just announced their DCS460 DSLR, a Nikon F90 (N90 in US) body with a noisy Kodak 6 MP CCD. It was the first camera that has a fixed ISO, at 80 only! The camera was selling at US$30,000.
