Olympus C-1400L

Manufacturer's Recommended Sale Price JPY128,000

Olympus top-end model. Very high professional-level resolution, and a good long lens. Like all the Olympus', uses both SmartMedia flash cards and an RS232C port to communicate with PCs. This is an awesome camera.

The software in the PC Kit includes Kai's PhotoSoap and is in Japanese but functions on English Windows - you just have to guess how it works. The usual Windows shortcut keys work - e.g. Alt-F A gives you Save As...

For pure convenience the Fujifilm FDA-1 - (flashcard adaptor) allows the flashcard to be read as if it were a floppy disk and then you use your own software to manipulate the JPG file produced. This is the way I do it.
