Wonderful photos, Henry! I particularly like the Route 66 photo with the nice warm tones and old worn structures. I'm sure you have lots of great photos through the years with your D7i. Twenty years is a long time in the digital industry, but I'm always impressed and inspired by the older cameras.

Thank you.  Yes, I have some more photos I took with it, but then I sold it in 2004.

That model was my first discovery just a few years ago into the 3/4 sensor cameras from back in the day. I now have 2 that are working. My first one was plagued with the overheating problem (even after updating the firmware) and my 3rd one was stolen (porch pirates) before I ever got it! The first test shots got me hooked on the nice Minolta JPG engine.

It is sort of fun playing with some of the older digital cameras.  Packed away back in the States I still have my first 2:
