Name your camera that you use and why you use it :)

Canon XSi and a few lenses. I actually use my Canon SX30 more than the DSLR, its a lot in a small package and have it with me most of the time. The DSLR and the lenses I carry in my bag are just to heavy and cumbersome for casual shooting, keep them for "serious" photography.

I started with the original Canon Rebel, moved up through the XT,XTi, and to the XSi. For what I do, the 12 MP suits my needs and I'm surprised that I don't really have any interest (nor the money) to upgrade at this time.

Perhaps you'd like to explain your remark? I don't find it funny.

Nikon d5100.

I shoot with it because it was the best body i could get for the money i had at the time. That being said it is my first DSLR and i am very happy with it. With a bit of luck one day i may have the cash for a D3x.

Nikon D5100

Good camera for a person who has never touched a DSLR. hopefully going to upgrade to the d7000!

Canon 7D, because my old 450D started to die slowly so I needed a replacement and upgrade. Also because it's fast as hell, has 19 AF points, it's metal and it's doing pretty good at high iso

Note:

Took my D7000 up to around 6000 ft elevation this weekend, hiking through rocks, took it in a fishing boat, etc. PERFECT. This camera is rugged.



This thread has proven to be extremely useful as far as reviews / recommendations for cameras !

D7000 and iphone 4, looks like I'm in good company with what I choose.

I got the D7000 because it was at the top price of what I figured I needed to start taking pics again that are better then what I can get off of a snap shot camera or the iPhone. So far it is as solid as a rock that I have no wants other then lenses.

Canon 7D - it's fast, accurate, well built and I can't afford a full frame Canon.

What MP is the iPhone 4? I have a 3Gs but rarely use it for a camera-camera

And did you know they make a case for the i4 that allows you to attach a DSLR lens and use it with the phones camera?

Creeper would have been a better word choice, still a joke. Wasn't trying to offend. I apologize

I use the Nikon D90. I purchased it after several days of research and finally decided on it because it seemed to offer the best combination of what I wanted. Price vs ease of use for a beginner vs ability to grow into. Truth be told, I did not even look at Canon. I knew that each brand makes excellent cameras, and more often then not it is peoples personal opinion that decided what brand they favor. So I chose a brand and spent all my time researching Nikon's lineup, rather then trying to research two lineups of nearly identical cameras (but with different names for all the features).

Nikon vs Canon was like Soup vs Salad to me. From what I had researched, Canon in general had better video performance, whereas Nikon had better still image performance. Which is why I spent more time researching Nikon - I didn't give Canon Soup a chance :c Nikon Salad for me.

Nikon D90....birthday present.....I was afraid to take to plunge from point + shoot. I think my wife is regretting the gift....started a new obsession.

Just scoot the camera a little bit closer to you so there's room for your wife to sleep in the bed too!


True story: I slept with my D7000 the night I got it.
