    Re: What kind of camera are you using?

    Canon SD400 -- what a great camera!  I upgraded from the old S30 when it (along with me) took a dunk in my hot tub at a party.  No regrets here, but the new 630 with the huge screen and no viewfinder is tempting!

    Ethan:
    Canon 30D

     

    woot 30D FTW! I also shoot the 30D lol and I love it ;) Got a Sigma 18-200mm(instead of the kit lens...its pretty soft at the long end though but its great wide and the focal range makes it pretty useful) and the wonderful Canon 100mm Macro (my fave right now) 

     How about that new EOS 1D Mark3? Man I would love to have that camera *drools*

    Re: What kind of camera are you using?

    Nikon D80 with the 18-135mm kit lens, and an old Canon Powershot G2 that still takes great snapshots. I wish newegg sold Nikon lenses. I recently lost my mind and picked up a Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR lens for the kids hockey games and those trips to the great outdoors.

    Re: What kind of camera are you using?

    I'm using a Kodak Z612.  I'd love to get my hands on a DSLR, but I don't have the income to pay for one just yet.  I've played with the Nikon D40, and it's definitely a very cool camera.  Hopefully I'll be able to try out the Rebel XT some, since I work at a one hour photo lab and can try some of the display cameras.

    Sony Cybershot S600 with 1GB MemoryStick upgrade

     

    Takes great pics, my biggest complaint is that is does not have a macro feature.

    So you have to focus from a far, and since it is a 6MP you can just zoom into it and crop it (then its like 2MP though...)

    Canon SD-800.  Just got it a few weeks ago to replace a SD-550 'cuz I wanted image stabilization.

    This site has a good writeup of its pros and cons: http://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/sd800.htm

    Has good reviews on newegg, too...

    Re: What kind of camera are you using?

    I'm old school for my serious photography, film only.  I use a Minolta Maxxum 5000 AF and a variety of lenses and filters. 

     

    for ebay and forum pics, I have a Sony Digital Mavica FD83 that takes great pictures for a sub 1mp camera, the macro mode is especially useful.

    Re: What kind of camera are you using?

    I am currently using a Canon Powershot SD450. It takes great pictures, not to mention great video as well. It is also a sturdy camera that has taken plenty of abuse. Powershots hold up well.

    I use a Canon Rebel XTi for my primary camera with IS lenses from 15mm to 600mm and my secondary camera is an olympus evolt e-300 with just the 2 kit lenses plus lens filters.

    Re: What kind of camera are you using?

    Canon Rebel XT.  The reasons for purchase was I got a great price from NewEgg and it is compatible with all of the lenses that I have for my Canon 35mm.   I like it so much that the old Rebel 35mm is going to be retired after the loaded roll of film is used up.

    Re: What kind of camera are you using?

    Just got a Canon SD800si.  Awesome camera, but the flash sucked, so I went out and got a Canon HF-DC1 slave flash.  This thing is fantastic.  I'm still playing with it, but you can:

     

    1.  Mount it side by side with your camera.  In auto mode, it flashes whenever the camera flash goes off, extending your flash range about 3x.

    2.  Hold it in your hand above the camera, which then reduces/eliminates redeye

    3.  Set it to the side on its lowest setting to use as a fill flash.

    4.  Just set it on the table pointing in the general direction of your pictures (like at a party), and all your pictures come out brighter.

     

    For the money I spent, this slave flash is awesome.

    Re: What kind of camera are you using?

    Kodak P880

    After lots of research I decided that it offered the most control/exposure options. ( If you're not a fan of reading manuals and having to become familiar with numerous setting options, stay away.) RAW file format was a necessity which knocked out my first choice of the Canon Powershot G7. The G6 got great reviews and sample pictures were astounding. Why they dumbed the G7 down is beyond me. 

    My P880 comes very close. This camera offers as much or as little control as I need. It is overkill if someone only needs a point-and-shoot model. The 24mm wide angle lens is sharp and produces very accurate color. The 140mm telephoto maximum is adequate. I much prefer its manual zoom over power models I've had in the past. There is no image stabilization which may or may not be an issue depending on user.

    Write speeds are very good except for TIFF format which is very lengthy. Fortunately since 80% of my shooting is in RAW, I don't encounter this delay often. I've read that the accompanying software is weak (in RAW processing area) but I'm a longtime Photoshop user so I didn't bother even installing it.

    I also purchased the companion P20 flash for the handy hot shoe. On-camera flashes have always been weak in my opinion and this flash more than overcomes the built-in flash's shortcomings. Noise levels are quite good but as with most non-dslr cameras, is noticeable at high ISOs.

    Unfortunately, this camera seems to be out of production even though inquiries to Kodak produced denials. Consider its replacement once Kodak gets its new manufacturer up to speed. This is my 2nd Kodak and I've always been pleased with the results of both.

    Re: What kind of camera are you using?

    Canon S3 IS!  mainly because I wanted a dSLR-like camera but with movie capability.  This fits the bill just right!

    Re: What kind of camera are you using?

    Most of my images are shot with the Canon 30D.  I also use the Digital Rebel 300D and for a P&S I use the Canon S3 IS (great for throwing in the purse)Big Smile

    Lenses used are Sigma 50-500mm (Bigma), Sigma 70-300mm, Sigma 105mm Macro, Sigma 18-125mm and that "not so hot" kit lens that came with the rebel.

    Re: What kind of camera are you using?

    I use a Cannon PowerShot A510.  Does a great job for a point and shoot.  I want to get a DSLR, but alas I am but a poor college student with a family and can't spend that kind of money... :[

    Re: What kind of camera are you using?

    I used to use a Olympus Stylus 300, but that got a tad to wet even for 'weather resistance' so I now have a Fuji S5200... I'd recommend the S5200 to anyone looking for a DSLR, but can't afford a $1000 camera (& even more on lenses)... The only real downside is having a fixed 10X zoom lens... But that's still better than most point & shoots...

    Canon 30D ... but I would sure love to try out the Canon 1D Mark III
