• 2012-11-20: Since moving to OS X on a Macbook Pro Retina, I have started using Adobe Lightroom.
• 2008-12-26: Moved to using Digikam 0.9.4 under Ubuntu 8.10 for master management of photos. I haven't tried it yet but Digikam interfaces with Flickr, Gallery, Picasaweb, and Simpleviewer (flash photo app).

• Nikon D600
• Panasonic DMC-TS2 - Not quite as waterproof as advertised. This was purchased for photography and video while sailing.
• Canon AE-1 Program

• Nikon 14-24mm

• Currently none. :( My indoor photography suffers greatly without a flash. The built-in one on the Nikon sucks compared to the external Olympus.

• Ricoh RDC-5300 - First digital camera. Was great at the time. I was one of the first people to get it working under Linux (USB support was new under kernel 2.2). Don't remember how I got rid of this camera.. perhaps eBay.
• Toshiba PDR-M70 - Replaced the Ricoh. This camera was a workhorse, had awesome manual features (multi-minute blub exposures, great flash). I would still be using it as a carry around point-n-shoot had it not been stolen when my house was broken into Dec 2005. Certainly much better than the Canon SD450 that replaced it. It was great at taking pictures of what I was into at the time .. darkly lit party environments.
• Olympus E-410 - My first DSLR. I liked the idea of the 4/3's system, and how it was touted as an open specification. And heck, Leica backed it. In the end I wasn't happy with the Olympus CCD. Too much low light noise. Time to try the Nikon camp.
  • Olympus 14-42mm f3.5-5.6
  • Olympus 40-150mm f4-5.6
  • Olympus FL-36
• Canon SD-450 - Will never buy this series again.. poor low-light, poor semi-manual controls, slow and sometimes inaccurate AF.
• Nikon D90 - Due to an unexpected offer to buy my camera, I sold the D90 and upgraded to a D7000.
• Nikon D7000 - Sold to Ross at the South Pole due to having purchased a D600. Sold lenses for it.
