If we could revisit years and photo kit from DP’s history what would these be?

Role: Editor

I never made it to Photokina, the European imaging show that’s now sadly retired. Reading through old issues of

Digital Photographer, it sounds as if the 2002 edition held some wild press parties, mischief and, of course, exciting industry revelations.

My first ‘proper’ camera was the Canon EOS 60D, so I’d pick it for nostalgia points. No doubt an enthusiast rather than pro model, the variangle LCD screen was something of a revelation at the time, and perfect for capturing creative (and sometimes awkward) angles of wildlife.

Role: Technique Editor

I’d zip back to 2009. This is when I realised I wanted to make photography more than a hobby but was unaware of the huge leaps in advancement digital photography was taking. I’d love to observe all of those exciting announcements with the knowledge of tech I have today.

In terms of kit, I’d choose the D3 – Nikon’s first full-frame camera. Many of my photographic idols shot with that camera and, while largely a Canon user now, I used to drool over this model as a broke teenager.

Role: Senior Designer

Having only had seven or so years of photography under my belt, witnessing the continuing rise of mirrorless cameras, I’d be really interested to investigate one of the earlier models, such as Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-G1.

In late 2008, releasing a mirrorless flagship in a world dominated by DLSR giants seems like a brave choice. I’d be intrigued to be able to go back and see the product that inspired such confidence and pioneered the way for many of our modern releases.
