I used a 5-year old Minolta A1, which has a fixed 28-200mm zoom lens.
Minolta DiMAGE A1 Review: 1. Introduction: Digital Photography Review
It was pretty good camera at the time. However, noise at ISO 200 on that camera was worse than ISO 3200 on the Pentax K20d. I guess it shows that equipment is only a small factor in taking good pictures.
Nevertheless, I've recently upgraded to using a K20d with a 16-50mm f/2.8 zoom (so, 24-75 after the crop-factor conversion). Much better pictures
