Lone Primate's photostream  

Bipedal male primate frequently encountered in the company of a camera.

I've had a number of digital cameras since early 1997; virtually all of them Kodak point-and-shoot models. Many of the photos in my collection were taken with the Kodak DC4800, which I passed along to a friend of mine in the summer of 2005.

• What I'm shooting with...

• Canon Powershot S80, acquired off the net because I missed the one I sold before (see below). Was "broken" with an E18 error, so sold to me cheap, but I fixed it. Yay me. :)
• Canon Powershot G9, acquired second-hand by touching base with a professional photographer in Ottawa. In pretty much all respects, it replaces my S80, which I've recently sold to a friend
• Canon Rebel XT 350D, with a variety of lenses
• Canon Powershot S70, acquired via eBay from a fellow in Windsor and converted to infrared photograph; carried with me most of the time to shoot IR images; replaces Canon G1 converted to IR
• Nikon Coolpix 4300, formerly carried with me... too unresponsive and frequently 'forgot' its current settings; set aside in favour of the S80. (N.B.: on "permanent loan" to a friend for about a year and a half, it was returned to me in January at my request; intending to use it for occasional 5-shot AEB spreads)

Retired cameras I still own

• Kodak CX3770, kept in the car so that I'll always have a good camera with me on the road
• Kodak DC50 Zoom, at lowest quality settings for "painterly" images (I also still own a DC40, but since it can only transfer pictures via the serial port and special software, odds are I will never use it again)
• Canon PowerShot G1, modified to capture infrared images; retired in May, 2007 in favour of a converted Canon PowerShot S70
• Aiptek DV II, my first carry-around-on-me camera and the first that could make videos... I carried it around for about a year before buying the Kodak CX7330 that replaced it

Retired cameras I no longer own

• Kodak DC4800, purchased in February, 2001 and sold to a friend in August, 2005; my one-and-only workhorse for several years and many a trek. Too bulky to be carried on my person.
• Canon Powershot S80, carried with me most of the time for lomographic purposes and to take AEB spreads for HDR work Sold in January, 2008 to a friend when I acquired the G9
