Kodak DC120 (kind of 1MP*, 1997)
*The camera has an extremely odd sensor size of 850x984 (non-square pixels??!), and only RawTherapee (open source photo editing app) opened it up in the full stored resolution of 840x968 (sensors usually have a few more pixels than the highest resolution a camera can store, it's complicated).
I converted to TIFF and stretched in Photoshop to proper aspect ratio; then edited with CameraRaw.
