Nikon Coolpix 2500
I bought this one via Amazon.de for my australia vacation in 2003. It made very
nice images.
3x optical zoom, easily held with one hand. But very long release delays :/
Interesting here is that it has a undocumented mode, where it allows configuration
and image capture ... And I only found out 2 years after buying it.
- Uses its own rechargable battery.
- Uses CompactFlash cards.
- 2 Megapixels in JPEG format, also records video.
- Uses the 'ptp2' driver in gphoto (or USB Mass Storage). Only download and deletion
of pictures is supported.
- Also uses the 'sierra' driver in gphoto when in USB Mass Storage mode, using a
sierra protocol pass through method. This mode allows additionaly configuration
and capture.
