People are always asking me about our digital cameras and after my last post I thought I should explain a bit about the gear that we’ve used in 2005, specificly the camera gear. When asked in person I just whip my camera out of my pocket and show them. 80% of the time they refuse believe that such high quality images could come from a camera so small.
Canon Elph Powershot SD10
The Canon SD10 is an amazingly powerful camera for its size, at 4 megapixels it’s actually smaller than most cellphones. This camera has been in my pocket nearly everyday since I got it for Christmas in 2003 and has withstood countless drops, bumps, and bangs. Because of its size the camera has no optical zoom, but 5.7X digital zoom, which I’ve obviously disabled. The SD10 has minimal modes (Auto/Manual/Macro/Stitch), but each does it’s job absolutely perfectly.
In case your wondering Stitch Mode is for taking panoramic photos, basicly it shows you half of the previous image and allows you to line up the horizon so the images can be easily “stitched” together later. For this I use software called Panorama Factory.

More gear updates to come, including our favorite tackle for 2005. I will leave it to Clive to post about his camera, as I think he has a full review coming soon. Not to mention a photo slide show, and if I can find the time, a 2005 video to compliment the 2004 videos.
