The pictures on this site were taken using a Panasonic NV-DC1000B recording at 640x480 and 320x240 pixels, and Casio QV-10 Digital Camera, recording 320x240 pixel images. The Casio images were converted from the Casio proprietary format (CAM) to TIF using a supplied utility, and then converted from TIF to JPEG, using John Bradley's XV utility. The Panasonic downloads in JPEG directly.
