Chris Oddy's very comprehensive early Acorn site. Includes pictures of most of the original parts, and designs for replicas of most of the boards too.

BTI Computer Systems History edit / delete
Small vendor of timesharing minicomputers in the 70s and 80s. Quite a bit of detail about the BTI-8000 architecture, which sounds like a pretty interesting machine (and which seems not to have a lot of surviving software).

"The Pentacon Six is a medium format Single Lens Reflex (SLR) camera developed in Germany in the 1950s and manufactured until the early 1990s." Huge amount of detail about one particular camera system.

Ken Rockwell's Camera and Lens Reviews edit / delete
Very comprehensive set of modern (mostly DSLR/mirrorless) camera reviews. The author's clearly a fan of Nikon gear but there's coverage of other manufacturers here too; useful if you want to know the fine differences between models, lens compatibility, etc. Lots of comparisons between similar models of cameras and lenses too.
