I don't have any materials here to test these compound terms, so
just try them out and see what happens. I removed a few words,
to try to make the search statement a bit shorter.

cameramodelSP590UZ OR D2X OR MAVICA OR djf300 OR FinePixS2Pro OR EXFH20 OR E4300 OR E-3 OR E-5 OR K810i OR S8100 OR A777 OR 5130c-2 OR D2Xs OR 5c OR E-P1 OR DC3320)

cameramodelSP590UZ, D2X, MAVICA, djf300, FinePixS2Pro, EXFH20, E4300, E-3, E-5, K810i, S8100, A777, 5130c-2, D2Xs, 5c, E-P1, DC3320)

Another possibility, is to generate a list of all cameras, and use a negated search.
In other words, if there are only two cameras not in your list, look from them
not to be present, to make your selection. This is not nearly as good
a way to search, as your suggestion above, and I'd be trying this only
if I was desperate. Because now I need to generate a list of all
cameras in the population.

AND NOT cameramodelLand or disposable)

Just a guess,
Paul


Thanks, I found that putting each in quotes seems to work. I
shortened the search, so.......

cameramodel"SP590UZ" OR "D2X" OR "MAVICA" OR "djf300" OR
"FinePixS2Pro" OR "EXFH20" OR "E4300" OR "E-3" OR "E-5)".

I got 800 hits from about 200000 images. (most people use Canon
cameras.)
