My first digital camera was a 1.3 MP generic no-name with a fixed-focus lens. But I was like 12 and my parents weren’t about to drop hundreds on me. Plus it was the year 2000, so anything over a megapixel was amazing.
My camera before that was a Game Boy Camera. It was so bad that you could only really take selfies with it. Anything else was unrecognizable 8-bit pixel-puke. Plus the cartridge held less than 30 pictures and the prints faded within a couple of years, making it impossible to preserve any shots you took with it.
7MP … money bags over here
My first point-and-shoot camera was a 2MP Fujifilm that I paid about $300 for.

Your friendly reminder that the Mars rover main cameras are only 2MP. They probably have better quality sensors though.
