While there are several camera models that could be used in the system, through much deliberation we have chosen the Pentax
K200D. Prior to the K200D, we shipped hundreds of systems using the K100D series cameras. Note that some of the pictures here
may show the older K100D series. Most customers prefer that we supply the camera, and this is our strong preference as well, but we
can also provide the system without a camera.
There are a host of considerations to evaluate when choosing a camera model for time-lapse photography, particularly in the field.
The ultimate goal of your project is to collect a series of images over a long period of time, regardless of the environmental
conditions. Shutter life, image quality, power consumption, and of course reliability are major concerns. We have done this research
for you, and believe we have found the optimum camera for the application.
As in many endeavors, “details count!”. For instance: some customers have asked to use their own Nikon SLR camera. While the
cameras would certainly be perfectly suited to capturing images, there are some difficulties accommodating most Nikon SLRs in
