Woohoo kids, looks like I just got myself a damn nice digital camera. Fujifilm FinePix E510. She came with a 16mb xD memory card, so I bought a 128mb one for an extra $50 or so.
Let me tell you, this is a damn fine camera. It can even double as a camcorder. It can zoom, different modes, all that good stuff. I haven’t gotten to the booklet yet (which is strange, because I normally read documentation before I play with things), so I don’t know everything it can do, but man, it has *a lot* of buttons.
There is one major downside, however. This downside applies to pretty much every USB device I have.
USB devices and Linux *DO NOT* mix well.
Yep, that’s right. I had another battle with linux and the camera. Debian flat-out refuses to mount the goddamned thing, despite the fact that Trustix is loving it. I haven’t any idea what Debian’s beef is, but rest assured, I will lay down some asskicking later tonight when I’m a bit more relaxed. (Heh, I had to assemble another office chair for someone, and I was out shopping for hours, so I’m a bit tired.)
I’ve already taken a load of pictures though. I mount the camera on rambo, then scp the images to a temp folder on kato, rename them, organize them, and cut/paste into the public_html folder. You guys can feel free to check out my room, my cat, and a few other images right here.
Enjoy. More will come soon.
