In 2000 we bought a digital camera instead of hiring a photographer for our wedding. It came with an 8MB compact flash card, which obviously wasn't enough -- so we splurged and bought a 64MB compact flash card for $350 or so.

I just bought a 128GB SD card for $28...

Edit: $350 in 2000 dollars is about $575 now

Yeah when you calculate for inflation it's a little alarming

I paid 500$ for a Kodak dc25.... 14 wee little postage stamp size pictures... & got an 8mb (at like 80$?) cf card that added 15 more. Remember having to be very picky about what pics I wanted to take when out & about...

Ours was a few years later, I surfed through Kodak's lineup and I think we had a DC240. Its form factor is similar to the DC25, but it had a zoom lens and of course better resolution.

Reading through this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodak_DC_Series it sounds like your DC25 came out before JPEG was really accepted as a standard -- today it seems like JPEG was always there. Wild.
