    That’s a really high quality photo for 2003. Most photographs from that time were early digital cameras and tended to max out about 720p resolution. It also doesn’t look like a scanned photograph because there’s no grain.

      Canon Powershot cameras would have been the “standard” at the time, and had 3-4MP sensors in 2003 depending on price range.
      The main issue with those early digicams was lacking dynamic range, so a sunny sky would almost always be glaring white.
      But in this pic, that wouldn’t show, since the dynamic range is very low.
