What camera are you guys shooting with?

[RGB_LED]

Just got a new toy, a Sigma DP2

Sweet! I was eyeing the DP1 but both that and the DP2 are a wee, bit pricey for me right now.

So, I have a Canon G10, which is fine, but I would like to get a DSLR sometime in the future... Hmm... What's more important: new lights or a new DLSR?

Hmmm, Canon Camera lens 100-400 IS ~$1200

Lots of fun with that lens - LOTS of flashlight fun as well. The expense only starts with the DSLR if you go off the deep end, not meant to be discouraging - but just know what you are getting into. I can do alot with my G9 - see this blog http://lightdescription.blogspot.com/ - it will apply to G10 as well. Also G9 tends to be with me when I travel (or G5 in car). Explore the limits of G10.

I'm not saying the G10 is a slouch - in fact, it's probably one of the best p&s cameras out there with tons of features.

Trust me, I've experimented with many cameras and features starting with my friends' Nikons, I shot for 20 years with Canons & prime lenses, my friend's 2-1/4 x 2-1/4 Rolleiflex and my dearly loved Hasselblad... I even tried out smaller 35mm film cameras like the Rollei 35, Olympus XA, Yashica T4, Ricoh GR1s (still own these cameras) so I know my way around apertures, shutter speeds, exposure. I switched to digital with Canon's SD-series, then picked up a G9 and now a G10. I used the custom functions, shot raw, tried different features, low light, night mode, Av and Tv as well as P, and set my own C1 and C2 modes.

At the end of the day, it still uses an APS-C sensor so, comparing it to the results from a friend's full-frame DSLR still reveals quite a difference. Obviously you can't compare a DSLR to a advanced p&s (for lack of a better term) but the differences can be quite significant. Overall, I still think the G10 is the best bang for the buck but I guess I won't be happy until I do get a DSLR...

I shoot with a Canon SD790 IS. Snagged it at Best Buy for $150. My dad has a $800 DSLR that I occasionally use.

I absolutely adore my Canon SX110 IS with 10X optical zoom 9mp. I spent a lot of time reading reviews, opinions, prices. It can be a simple P&S or have significant flexibility for a low price--without having to go the SLR & multiple lenses route. Quite honestly, I ordered it with an intention to return it because I knew it couldn't really be good in so many areas. I just wanted to give it the old college try, before spending a couple thousand for the full featured options.

I have not second guessed my decision for one minute.

Re: Canon 1DSMK3 and EF200 F/2

however I have also purchased a New Nikon D3 and Nikkor 200F/2 VR.

Lucky! I want the D3X though.

The real work is in front and behind the camera body- the photographer and the lens.

:thumbsup:

Re: Canon 1DSMK3 and EF200 F/2

Wow this thread is still going? LOL. Well since my last post I've upgraded from the Nikon D70 to the D300, and my daily EDC camera - Canon SD700IS is now my wife's and I EDC the SD870IS. I've pre-ordered the Canon G11 as the middle ground camera between the D300 and SD870 and can't wait to get it. I'll also pick up the 270EX flash for it.
Lenses for the Nikon include the 18-70mm kit lens, 18-200mm VR, 50mm f1.8 prime, 70-300mm G. The 18-200 is the most used though.
I also do a bit of strobist photography and have 3 SB800 speedlights, Honl grids, snoot, gel holders, Rosco gel pack, umbrellas, 3 sets of stands - lightweight, mid and heavy weight (for my Alien Bees), and too many other accessories to mention!

 

[bretti_kivi]

Pentax K10D. Needs cleaning and an upgrade would be nice but depends on getting some work.
18-55, 24-70, 24, 50, 50-200, 85, 135 lenses, 2 x EF500, grip, battery. It'll do

My digital stuff is all Canon gear. From an SD450 to a 40D and soon to have (next week possibly) a 7D. Have a G10 and a Rebel XTI too. Got a pile of decent glass for the EOS system (some EF-S specific), a fairly decent wireless strobe setup, Gitzo/Induro/Manfrotto tripods in all flavors (almost as much of a sickness as lights are to many of you, tripods are to me).

Honestly, with almost $25k in camera gear, the most used camera in my line up for personal use is my SD450 in a watertight housing. I fish with it, and if it's me time during the summer, it's fishing! (That's me, a self portrait)

 

[Mark-60]

Canon 1DMII, tripod, bunch o' lenses.

This.

[marokero]

All Nikon stuff: D3, D2xs, D200IR, several flashes and lenses, RRS flash bracket, Gitzo tripod and monopod, several Pelican cases, etc. I shoot weddings for a living, and the occasional autocross race, so it's a modest kit imo.
