Equipment

1989 Minolta 7000i camera with 3200i flash, 100 - 300 mm, and 24 - 85 mm lens. Photos were scanned with HP S20 PhotoSmart Scanner. Fuji Velvia 50 and 100F ISO slide film were used.

In January 2000, I upgraded my 35mm camera to the Minolta 600si. It has been a discontinued model for a few years but I was able to find a new one searching on the Web. This camera is now for sale.

In May 2002 Joy went to a Canon S330 digital camera. Our first digital

pictures can be seen on the California 2002 page.

In July 2002 Steve purchased the Canon GL2 digital camcorder. Some of his video clips can been seen on the Caribbean, California 2002, and

2003 Photos/Clips pages.

In May 2003 Steve added the Century Optics 2x tele-converter to the Canon GL2 increasing the optical zoom from 20x to 40x.

In February 2006 we purchased a Canon S80 digital camera. We really like this camera where it has a wide-angle lens, you can add lenses, 8 Megapixal, 3x optical zoom, and 2.5" lcd panel. (accessories)
