Until we get the negatives, slides and prints out of storage and scan them all the pictures on the web site that we took were with a digital camera. One exception is we have been known to buy disposable underwater cameras for snorkeling pictures.
Up into June 2004 all the pictures were taken with a Canon Powershot G1, here is an old review. It is a 3MP (mega pixel) camera with a 3X zoom. It takes 320x200 movies and saves in AVI format, but Bill normally changes these to WMV to upload since they are smaller files. This camera now lives in the car so if we forget the new camera, we have it ready. Every once in a while we recharge the batteries. Diane sometimes uses this camera while Bill is using the new camera. Bill takes 99% of the pictures, but Diane is fully capable of taking pictures when she wants to.
In June 2004 we bought a Nikon Coolpix 8700, which is still available as of this writing and here is a review. This is an 8MP camera with an 8X zoom (35mm to 280mm) and we have add-on lenses that make it go down to 23mm and 560mm, but the optics on the add-on lenses are not as good as the main lens. It takes 640x400 movies and saves in MOV format (Quicktime). 8MP is really nice, 8X is really nice, this camera handles most things we want and allows us to crop small sections for the web site. We need really good light for the 8X to be useful because the camera sensor is small and needs the light and because the camera does not have anti-shake and we rarely lug a tripod with us.
During our trip to Alaska in 2006 and other times when we have dealt with wildlife the two cameras were very frustrating to use. Both take a while to start up or wake up when they go into power saving mode. They also take a while to take a second shot. Wildlife doesn't stay still so the delays were irritating. For Christmas 2006 Diane bought Bill a new Canon A710 IS since it is small and very fast. It is a 7.1MP with a 6X zoom (35mm to 210mm) but also has anti-shake. Here is a review. This camera gave Diane's family something to buy for Bill for Christmas since it needed rechargeable AA batteries, SD memory cards, and a new camera bag. The camera is not as capable as the Nikon 8700 since it is a cheaper and smaller camera, but it is close in specs and very fast. The only time it is slow is when using the flash, it takes a while to charge the flash and a long time to recharge. Anti-shake is really nice. For wildlife this should be the camera used, that is why we have it.
When we get to the slides and negatives there will be pictures taken with two different Minolta 35mm SLRs and a Fuji APS point-n-shoot.
