What camera does everyone use?

Corns.nl · 06-04-07, 02:14 AM

I was wondering what camera you all use to shoot your cornpics since that's a fair part of our hobby

Every part of the world has it's own series of models of the more familiar brands like Canon, Nikon etc, but i suppose there are also some rather unknown company's who have great products..
I use a Canon EOS 400D DSLR camera, 10,1 megapixel and i use the standard 18-55 kitlens and a 50-200 Canon lens. Together with some macro-extension tubes i can make rather good pics i think

I currently use a Canon Powershot S3 IS. Upgraded from an older Olympus.

The dSLR's are a little too much for what I do, not to mention the weight of them. I have bad hands/wrists/elbows, so weight plays a big part in my camera needs.

I just bought this one in April, so I'm still working on getting to know it. One of the things I was looking for, was the ability to adjust settings on my own, to learn in case one day I do manage a dSLR. The camera has that ability, that I can use it almost like an SLR. It's a nice learning camera for sure.

I also use the Canon Rebel XTI (400D) DSLR with the 18-55mm lens. I also have a Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 DG Macro lens that I use with it on occasion.

Before i got the 400D, i had the S2 IS and i was definately satisfied with it, i've made great pics with it.. Every single one of the pics on my website is made with the S2..
If you have any questions please don't hold back!

I'm not much of a photographer but my husband is/was a professional photographer. He got the Canon XTi (400) as a back up camera and I am learning to use it with a Sigma macro lens. I love the camera and I would say that I am novice. Of course it helps to live with a professional!

Thanks Arjan..... so far I'm doing ok, but for me it's even learning the basics. Above and beyond point and shoot. So I'm playing, took me a year or so to get the hang of my old Olympus. But I know who to ask when the questions do arise

I have a Kodak EasyShare CX7300 and I do not recommend it. Can't beat that price though! lol

What in everyones opinion is the best point and shoot camera?

Nikon D80 DSLR with the stock 18-135mm lens. My old camera was an Olympus C750, which was great, but slow at taking pics.

I'd like a good macro lens and a good zoom lens for the Nikon one of these days, but they're pricey from where I've looked.

Of course I'd also like to learn how to use the danged thing entirely, I've had it for a few months now and still am in the dark about most of the functions.

I like mine MB. It's not overly expensive either. It came highly recommended to me, and met all of my needs.

I use a Sony DSC-F828 and I love it.
