Lo-fi photo of Rocco the dog taken with the Zire 71. It has a dreamy early digicam quality with low resolution and lots of color noise, with the reds veering into purple. Rocco looks very skeptical.

   So the Palm Zire 71 is my number one recommendation for a low-fi early 2000s digital camera.

   It takes SD cards which makes transfer to modern computer super easy, it is very compact and often sellers don’t know it has a camera (it’s sort of a hidden feature!) so it’s cheap. You can find replacement batteries for it too for cheap.

   The photos have an amazing aesthetic.
