Camera Details
- Olympus SP510 “Ultrazoom”
Accessories:- 512MB xD memory card
- 43mm -> 55mm lens adaptor
- Circularizing Polarizer
- UV filter
- large and small tripods
Purchased: Jan 2007. I’m still breaking this camera in… it has a number of quality-related ‘quirks’ that have offset the specification improvement from the C740. (It’s unusable above “iso100″.) As it stands, I’m not happy with it at the moment.

(Accessories as above)
Purchased: July 2004. I chose this camera for the relative quality of its lens and the 10x optical zoom. - Epson DC3200
Purchased: mid 2000. Now retired from general use, although kept as a backup and ‘rugged’ camera. Its primary attribute at the time I bought it was having a serial port protocol that gphoto2 on Unix could handle, back when I still regularly used a 486 laptop that didn’t have USB.
Bike Details
- Motorized
Giant Rincon 2003 MTB
Rotary Pro DIY kit (See Rotary’s webpage).
After the clutch seized and it needed shop-servicing, I lost the motivation to use the motor– it wouldn’t be good thing having that fail again in the middle of nowhere– and restored the bike to being a MTB once again. - The hybrid-roadie-kinda bike
