Here is a short description and field reports of our cameras and photo equipment.
The digital world:
Minolta Dimage Z1
Our first digital camera. The market launch was in 2003, a highlight at the time. Power was supplied by 4 AA Mignon cells (accumulators or batteries). The camera had a resolution of 3.2 Mpixel. The pictures were clear and brilliant. The sensor had 1/2.7-inch CCD (5.3×4 mm) with a crop factor of 6.0. 10x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom as well as a focal length of 38 to 380 mm (adequate KB) at a speed of f2.8 to f3.5 were further attributes of the camera.
Panasonic LC-50
In addition to the Minolta Dimage Z1, we purchased the Panasonic LC-50. 3.2 Mpixel. The camera was more compact and for the power supply we needed 2 AA Mignon cells (accumulators or batteries).
The market launch was in 2004, when clear images with a resolution of 3.2 Mpixel were a good average. A CCD sensor 1/2.5″ (5.8 x 4.3 mm) with a crop factor of 6.0 were further attributes of the camera. 3x optical zoom and 3x digital zoom and a focal length of 35 to 105 mm (adequate KB) at a speed of f2.8 to f4.8 were well suited for urban photography.
Canon Powershot A710 IS
The camera had a 6x zoom, image stabilisato. The center resolution of the images was good and remained constant right into the corners. The Kammara was powered by 2 AA batteries. The unit was very compact and handy.
Launched in 2006, the camera had 7x zoom at 7.1 megapixels, a 1/2.5 inch CCD and a maximum image resolution of 3,072 x 2,304 pixels. A crop factor of xx, a 6.0x optical zoom, a focal length (KB) of 35mm to 210mm and an aperture (w/t) of 2.8 / 4.8 were further attributes of the A710 IS.
