20 years ago, more or less at this hour, I took my first digital photo...
Eheh, nice trip to the memory lane!
For me it's more recent : only 16 years ago ;-)
I've started out with digital photography in late 2001, but began working as a journalist in 2003, around May. So I've had an anniversary this year as well. :-)

Hard to tell when was the first time, however I surely took photos with
Intel® Pocket PC Camera in 2000
My first digital camera was Canon 300D in 2004
Early August 2003 for me, a camera I borrowed, a Canon Ixus 4 or 40 I think.
Early 2004, March, I got my own and first digital camera, Canon G5, and my first dslr in November 2005, a Canon 350D.
But hey, I got my first camera over 60 years ago, and my first slr 50 years ago .... <ROFL>.
Kind regards, Wim
So it looks 2023 is an anniversary year... in some way... for most of us here.

Looks like it. Married for 45 years already in August ....
All in all, time just flies ....
I suppose I can add another anniversary this year - the E-1 was my first digital camera (and, as such, it was also my first DSLR) - 20 years ago. And I miss it. ;-)
Still a few months to go though.
More than 20 years ago I bought a Kodak 820mb digital camera at the flea market for 50 francs, it did not work ..... the shutter button was melted and I fiddled and farted with it, then suddenly I got a musical jingle and it came on ... 11 images on a 4 mb flash card ... I looked through the menu which was limited and already the two AA cells were wasted ... it took very mediocre waxy but colourful images ... I sold it for 400 francs ..... from then on I caught GAS
I just noticed the anniversary thread, and, thinking of it, it is also my 20th year. I think it June when I started using first digital, Optio S. It took another 3 years to switch to DSLR.
