Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

I have an Aiptek 720P HD camcorder.

Nikon Coolpix L18

cell phone is a Pantech Slate C530

My old cell phone.

camcorder: Panasonic PV-GS19 (i took pictures on it for a while)

Camera: Kodak Easyshare C813

Cell phone: not sure what model, it was a virgin moble pay as you go phone, but one day i accidently dropped it and broke the screen. i figured, in for a penny in for a pound. i took it outside with a golf club and well, clubbed it to death!

Cell Phone:

Kyrocera KE433 for Virgin Mobile service.

Camera #1 - Concord Eye-Q 3x (No longer have)

Stupid camera uses 123 batteries which cost $10 per 2 pack.

Camera #2 - Concord Eye-Q 1300 (Still have it)

Only 2 AA batteries, but only takes MMC cards. SD cards are useless.

Camera #3 - Digitrex DSC-2100 (Threw it out)

Takes 4 AA batteries, could not adjust light balance too quickly, takes 5 extra seconds to do so, could not recognize CompactFlash card about 60% of the time.

Camera #4 - Kodak EasyShare C310 (My former primary camera, donated to my mother)

Uses only 2 AA batteries, but only accepts SD cards up to 1 GB. 2 GB and up is worthless.

Camera #5 - Sony DSC-S40 (Was my stepfather's camera, but since he got a better camera, I inherited this one)


4.1 MP camera, uses 2 AA batteries, accepts Memory Stick cards as high as 2 GB. Takes 3x optical zoom.

Camera #6 - Sony DSC-W330 (My new Primary camera since April 23, 2010)


I won it as a prize from Club Bing. Four colors were available from Blue, red, black, and silver. I got the silver one. It's a 14.1 MP camera, takes pictures in VGA (640x480) 5, 10, and 14 MP quality in normal mode, but takes 16:9 size in 2 and 11 MP quality. It also takes both SD/SDHC and Memory Stick media up to 32 GB. The battery is a rechargable litihum Ion battery "N" type. It also takes 4x optical zoom.

It can also take video as well, up to 28 minutes for 640x480 resolution on a 2 GB card with sound. It also takes macro zoom very well, so expect some better pictures of my HO scale signals very soon.

I suppose it bears mentioning...I paid for both of these items with my own money. Nobody bought it for me and I pay for the service to keep the phone going.

My cell phone is an iPhone (not the 3G...original model). This is a generic photo. Notice the signal indicator shows Cingular whereas the iPhone was never offered on Cingular. Apparently the deal had been made before they reverted to the AT&T name.



And my camera is a Canon Digital Elph SD790IS. It's got ten megapixels and it's super light; I love Canon cameras (it's my 3rd one) and I'll never buy anything but. I had an Olympus that was a total piece but that's another story.

Phone: Motorola W490

Pocket Camera: iJoy MobiDV h12

Better Quality Digital Camera: Kodak EasyShare CX7430.

I use the Kodak for railroad crossings and my fire alarm collection. I use my other camera for the other stuff as well as all vids I take.

Cell Phone:

Old Camcorder Samsung SC D353 (Still have)

New Camcorder Samsung SC MX20

Digital Camera Canon Powershot A560

Just got me a Samsung camcorder.

Camera 1:
Sony Mavica MVC-FD23 (My first digicam)

Camera 2:
Samsung S630

Cell Phone:
LG EnV Touch

Camcorder: (Dinosaur)
Panasonic PV-D326 Palmcorder

I've got a new camera Today I've won as a prize.

It's the "Sony DSC-W330" camera with 14.1 MP quality.

Here's a picture of it:

The picture reflects the color I received.

I'm also going to donate my old Kodak Easyshare C310 camera to my Mother to use, since she doesn't have one, and it's simple for her to use. So I won't use that camera anymore effective immediately. It takes both SD/SDHC and Memory Stick cards up to 32 GB. It won't accept MMC cards, but that's no biggie.

Also, I have inherited another camera, the Sony DSC-S40 seen here:

It has problems with the flash lining up with the shot at night, but during the daytime, it functions very well, so I'll be using that one as well. It's a 4.1 MP camera that takes up to 2 GB Memory stick cards.

I've updated my initial post to reflect these changes.

The cel phone is a throw away (if needed) Samsung/ATT. Personally, if my wife were healthy, I wouldn't own a cel. Too much like a leash.

One camera is a Canon A510 Powershot 3.2mp that I bought about 5 years ago. Most of my pictures on Mikes site were taken with this old warhorse. I have over 15,000 images total on this thing, and it still struggles on. It is currently semi-retired and used at work to document stuff. My current Avatar was taken with this camera as Christine was reviewing with grandson Christopher the pictures she took of him in the memory of my other camera.

The other camera is a Nikon D90 12.1mp that I got last November. I've been a photo enthusiast since about age 10, but this is my first serious digital. Only a few photos on this site were taken with this one, but I'm already at 2,800 images with it. Mostly I'm using this camera as an entry point to more full-time photography pursuits, and I am currently freelancing for the local newspaper and Trains magazine with it. I hope to ramp up to a Nikon D3s (http://www.bythom.com/nikond3sreview.htm) next year, but I've still got some learning to do.
