|  | About Reggie.Net
| Digital Camera | | | Photographs of Canada and Japan (after June 2001) are taken on a Canon PowerShot Pro90is. Resolution is 1856x1392 pixels (2.6M pixels). Photos are about 1.8Mbytes each, and up to 680 can be taken on a 1Gbyte IBM Microdrive. With four batteries, a total of about 360 photos can be taken before recharging is necessary. The camera can zoom 10X and has image stabilisation. The key features for Reggie are: the swivel display, able to take the IBM MicroDrive, 10X zoom, built-in flash.
The photos on the web are reduced to 600 x 450 size, in JPEG format.
Earlier photos (Travel 99 and Cambridge) were taken on a Canon PowerShot Pro 70 at 1536x1024 (1.5M pixels) each.

| Computer | | |  | | The computer is a Sony Vaio PCG-C1VE, running a 600MHz Crusoe processor, with 12G bytes of hard disk space. For backup, all photos are copied onto CD with a Sony CD RW player. The computer came with Windows ME, but was upgraded to Windows 2000, with some difficulties and loss of functionality, to enable Japanese fonts, and to give a more stable environment. It is carried in my rucksack everywhere, and so far (after a year) it has been very reliable. It has the excellent feature of a TV output, which is great when visiting friends and giving slideshows.
