Digital Still Cameras

Sony F828 (8.0MP, overview). One camera is available within the ECE Department. Contact hankd@engr.uky.edu

Nikon Coolpix 950 (2.1MP, overview). This camera previously had firmware bugs that prevented teathered operation and caused focus problems; new firmware has fixed these problems. Two cameras and two 183-degree fisheye converter lenses are available within the ECE Department, although one camera and fisheye lens is generally in use as a webcam in FPAT 672. Contact hankd@engr.uky.edu

Olympus C2000Z (2.1MP, overview). Despite its limitations, this is a very nice camera for general use. One camera is available within the ECE Department. Contact hankd@engr.uky.edu

Kodak DC260 (1.5MP, overview). This camera is most useful in that it has an intervalometer mode that can capture hundreds of photos without needing to be teathered to a computer... although it does need to have its AC adaptor plugged in. One camera is available from Hank Dietz -- this camera is not UK property. Contact hankd@engr.uky.edu

Olympus D340R (1.3MP, overview). Three cameras, two 185-degree fisheye converter lenses, and two 180-degree pivot tripod mounts are available within the ECE Department, although one camera and fisheye lens is generally in use as a webcam in FPAT 469. Contact hankd@engr.uky.edu
