The camera was a nikon D70 -- digital 6.1 megapixel. Carol had two lens with the camera a 35 to 100 tele photo zoom and at 75 to 300 telephoto zoom. We had a doubler, but none of the pictures at this point used the doubler. For the most part, except at the "tent" we never used the doubler at all. The animals for the most part were so close that it was not an issue. Actually a couple of times they were so close that it made the 75x300 zoom a tough shot.

We took along a back up camera also for some shots, but did not use it that much. Then we had the video camera that also had the capability of still shots on a memory card.

So there was nothing super high tech on the pictures that are being posted -- gives you a clue about what we were seeing and the many options that we had. This is why it is hard to dismiss photos, we are trying to "discard" photos that are really good even. But that is what happens when you take around 3,000 photos I guess, and around 6 hours of video.
