24. I like their simplicity

My first digital was a Minolta Konica. Nice camera, but an early digital and kind of slow and bulky. Took it to Burning Man in 2011 and got an enormous number of spectacular pictures. All the while, I sweated the dangers posed to the mechanism and optics by the talcum-fine dust there. It survived, but wasn't designed for that sort of environment. I'm also not that technically proficient with a higher-end camera.
The tightly-sealed, simple point-and-shoot style of the Coolpix, and its tiny size, have made it my constant companion at all the Burns since!
