I’ve been repairing and shooting with digital cameras that have come out since the mid-90s, and over the years I’ve accumulated images from nearly 250 different cameras. Cameras listed are everything from a 1995 Ricoh RDC-1 to a 2025 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. The Digicam Archive is an interactive comparison tool that lets you pull up any two of those cameras side by side and see exactly how they rendered the same scene. These shots are all at the highest quality and if the camera has a raw hack, it was used for the image. Each image has been upscaled and colors manipulated to be the best that it can be, so if you are looking for original images this is not where you want to look.
The tool works simply: pick a scene (House or Building), select two cameras from the dropdown, and a crop box appears over the full image that you can drag and resize anywhere you want. Both comparison panels update in real time, showing you a pixel-level look at whatever detail you’ve selected. You can also toggle which camera fills the large main view, or open a full side-by-side fullscreen mode.
Cameras span from 1995 through 2025 and include point-and-shoots, DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, early camera phones, and a few odd cameras from Kodak, Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Olympus, Panasonic, Casio, Ricoh, Leica, Sigma, Minolta, Kyocera, Sanyo, Epson, and more. There’s even a 1996 Canon Sure Shot 60, shot on 35mm film and scanned, sitting right next to a 2025 DJI Osmo Pocket 3.
Pick a year, pick two cameras, and see what the state of digital imaging actually looked like.
