It was just about a year ago that I bought an Olympus 550 UZ camera. In only one year’s time Olympus has released two models to replace the 550. Technology, whether it is in computers or cameras, doesn’t have that long of a life cycle anymore.
While, in general, I have loved the Olympus 550, when [...]

I had been thinking of adding a SLR to my camera arsenal, but I have changed my mind. After seeing the new Casio EXILIM Pro EX-F1, I have a new toy to put on my watch list.
If the camera matches up to its specs, it is going set a new benchmark for digital cameras. It [...]

When it comes to digital cameras, it is not all that long. In July, I picked up a new Olympus SP550UZ camera. It had been out a few months, but was still recognized as Olympus most feature laden camera for those wanting close to a SLR in a slightly smaller size.
I see today that Olympus [...]

If you are moving to Panama, make sure you have invested in a good digital camera. There is so much beauty and items of interest in Panama, that you will kick yourself if you don’t have a camera. Personally, I think that in today’s world it makes sense to have more than one camera. I [...]

I have finally diagnosed that the xD memory reader that I got with my camera purchase doesn’t work. I tried it with all operating systems (UBUNTU Linux, Apple OSX, Windows XP) and none recognize that there is any data.
I therefore conclude that the reader is the problem and will have to find another to try. [...]

I will get around to relating to you “How I spent my summer vacation”, but I am currently involved in organizing my technology purchases and putting them to use.
All of the eBay purchases I had made before leaving Panama, had found their way to my daughter’s house and were safely awaiting my arrival on top [...]

After PanaFoto sent me the emails stating that they had sold all of the Olympus SP550 UZ cameras that they had in stock and they had no idea if or when they would have more, I started searching again.
I was fortunate to find one on Ebay and bought it. I received an email yesterday that [...]

One of the most consistent things in Panama is that if you see something that you want in a store, you should buy it. If you don’t and go back the next day it will most likely not be there anymore.
That is exactly what happened to me with the Olympus camera that I decided to [...]

Yes, I think my heart has been captured once more. After a previous love broke my heart, I set out with the thought of once more filling the void that had been created. Changes seem to be harder the older you get and yet we must all continue to change for not changing can only [...]
