Point and Shoot
Canon S90.
Great camera for when I can’t carry the DSLRs or don’t want to.
Pentax W30
Great little camera for when you don’t want to lug around a big one and is waterproof too. Only problem with it is its poor auto focus in low light, so I usually leave it on Manual Focus to infinity and its much better. I got a few more spare batteries from ebay for it too as it loves to eat them.

I offload my photos using Adobe Bridge which puts them in date folders as well as setting the copyright and renaming them to date_ no _location.cr2
Add GPS information with Geosetter.
Import into Lightroom 3 for sorting/deleting.
Post processing also done in Photoshop CS5.
