I thought it was Casio EX-P600, 4th July 2004, crack in my car's windscreen. But then I found this from 8th December 2002, Minolta XiMedion compact. Taken in January 2006.
I also found a video I took with this camera on 27th December 2005 of snow falling
PS.
What's the oldest digital compact picture you have? Mine seems to be Christmas day 2005 which I think is when I got this Medion, as a present.

Thank you George!Very nice shot John, well composed with some lovely colours. Must admit I'm not normally into Butterfly/Moth type shots but this one really appeals to me.

Cheers. Rufus was (I nearly wrote ”is” ) a Fell Terier which is the local working breed round here.Lovely looking dogs Richard , your Power shot did well ! When I looked at your first shot I thought Plummer Terriers but the second proved me wrong.
Ha ha! Not sure you’ve succeeded though.For another forum, I use this gun as a garden gun so I was attempting to make it look less threatening !

I thought Plummer because of the colour but the ears didn’t work , still nice looking dogLovely looking dogs Richard , your Power shot did well ! When I looked at your first shot I thought Plummer Terriers but the second proved me wrong.
The breeds people come up with always surprise me but given they are fairly rare you could go your whole life without seeing one .I thought Plummer because of the colour but the ears didn’t work , still nice looking dog
Iv lost touch with the Plummer terriers clubs of late but I think the dna tests from a few years ago showed a little basenji blood in some of the lines , mr Plummer I’m reliable informed didn’t always write down exactly what he mated to what .The breeds people come up with always surprise me but given they are fairly rare you could go your whole life without seeing one .
In the original pic it’s Rufus, Fell Terrier on the left and Pippin, Basenji on the right and Pippin again standing on his own.
The only connection between Basenjis and Brian Plummer that I know of is that in one of his books he relates working as a dog trainer to get some cash and that the one thing that taught him was that it is impossible to train a Basenji. That's fair comment, they will only do things they want to do and have no interest in pleasing you like other dogs .
I can’t recommend anyone to get a Basenji as a companions though I would have no other. Ditto really for Fells as they have a hunting drive that has to be experienced to be believed. Basenji too, but it’s tempered by a scavenging drive as you might expect from an African village dog.
Plummer did use Fell Terriers (along with much else) developing his terrier but I think most them are more ‘bully’ than Fell’s, obvious in the jaws. That’s a common look among terriers I’ve seen at ‘working terrier’ shows but I’m not so sure most of them are worked.
Interesting. Actually my friend who bred my Fell Rufus, said he fancied he could see some ‘Basenji‘ in his feet -- he was familiar with my dogs. It was entirely possible as he’d been breeding them for decades and originally had them from the father of a friend who’d bred them for a long time and his friend told me his dad had tried basenjis in the past.Iv lost touch with the Plummer terriers clubs of late but I think the dna tests from a few years ago showed a little basenji blood in some of the lines
Ha! I wouldn’t be surprised., mr Plummer I’m reliable informed didn’t always write down exactly what he mated to what .
