Help Me With My Dumb Idea: a classic digital photography magazine

This photo was taken in 2004, using a Sony DSC-V1. It was a five-megapixel compact camera (introduced in 2003, MSRP US$700):

Pretty good, huh? That's a low-light situation, so the camera took this photo at 1/15 shutter speed. Of course, I also had ISO 100 set. I can't remember if that was because it was hard to change the ISO on that camera, or because high-ISO performance was not its forte.

For some time I've been mooting the creation of Classic Digital Photography, meant as a magazine-ish website documenting the early days of digicams.
