I promise, I'll post some from Antarctica.  I'm praying for good weather.

I really do think you can make a strong case that a number of older cameras are still capable of excellent pictures, as compared to the latest and greatest.  The only caveat being you can't make 24 x 36 prints from a 7 MP sensor.  But print at 8.5" x 11", or 11" x 14", and the older cameras hold up really well.

My candidates:  A710/720IS, A590IS, Pro 1, 30D, A600 series (all of them), Panasonic LC1, FZ50, Olympus C8080.  There, that's good for starters.  I'm sure there are many more; but please limit replies to models from 2009 or before.
