THE DIGITAL FLEET!

This is all of it, all packed up and ready to go! The XS is in the black bag on the right, the PowerShot is in the red case.

Here at the depot, we currently have five digital cameras that we rent out. Briefly, let me make two distinctions. Two of the cameras are digital SLRs. The other three are point-and-shoots. The digital SLRs will always shoot higher quality images because of their nicer lenses. Also, if you have spare Canon or Nikon lenses lying around you can probably use them with our digital SLRs! The SLRs will also be able to be more controlled for things where exposure time is really important, or white balance, or low light work. That said, the point-and-shoots are still perfectly good cameras and will be perfect for most needs, but their lenses cannot be changed, and the images they produce will have less of the filmic quality of photographs taken with an SLR camera. Cool!

THE DIGITAL SLRs

This is the Canon Rebel XS. We have one of these at the depot. It comes with an 18-55mm EF-S kit lens and shoots at 10.2 megapixels. It has the option to shoot RAW files. (.CR2s for Canon.)

This is the Nikon D70. We have one of them. It has an 18-70mm VR lens. It shoots at 6.1 megapixels and has the capacity to shoot RAWs as well. (.NEF)

THE POINT AND SHOOTs

This is the Panasonic Lumix. We have two of these. It shoots at 10.2 megapixels and can shoot RAWs.

This is the Canon PowerShot A610, which we have one of. It shoots at 5 megapixels. The wonderful RAW file format outdates this camera by a few years, but it still works wonderfully.
