I bought my first digital camera about 7 years ago - a big brick of a thing. I think it was a Kodak, but I can't remember any more than that, Since then, I've had an Ixus III and V, and a Fuji S5600, which has been downgrade to auxiliary reserve camera, as I've recently bought a Canon 30D - it makes the background blurry! And one day, I'm going to learn how to use it...
