What do you shoot with?
I have been wanting a real digi camera for years and last Christmas I finally got the oppertunity to do just that. Here is what I bought myself. I am absolutly thrilled with it and have yet to find a circumstance that it can't compete in. I haven't touched my Nikon F100 since I got it (literly) and am extremly tempted to just put it up on ebay.
 So I showed you mine, now show me yours   Here is a list of the features that sold me on it. Lens • 36 - 432 mm equiv. (12x zoom) • F2.8 (throughout zoom range) • MEGA OIS (Mode 1 / Mode 2) • LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT • 13 Elements in 8 Groups • 3 Aspherical Lenses/3 Aspherical Surfaces, 1 ED Lens Focus • 1 point, 3 point, 9 point Autofocus • Spot-focusing • Single shot or Continuous AF • Switcheable focus trigger • Manual Focus(Ring) • 5cm macro mode (Wide), 200cm (Tele) Shooting mode • Program (with shift) • Aperture Priority • Shutter Priority • Manual • Macro • Moving Image • Portrait • Sports • Landscape • Night Landscape • Panning • Night Portrait • Fireworks • Party • Snow • AE compensation -2.0EV to +2.0 EV in 1/3EV steps • Auto bracketing Last edited by Fowvay; 10-08-2005 at 01:22 PM..

Ooo Ooo! I know the answer to this one!
I have been a Nikon shooter for about 12 years now, no regrets. My current kit includes the Nikon D100 with MB-100 vertical grip. I can't live without a vertical grip. It balances the camera really well. My main lenses are, in order of my favorites: (left to right seen below) Nikon 80-200 f2.8 ED-IF Tamron 28-75 f1.8 XR DI Nikon 18-35 f3.5-f4.5 ED-IF Tamron 200-400 f/5.6 LD IF See photo's below. These are not pics of my actual rig, because it's tough to shoot the camera body without having another body.

I totally understand the "have to be satisfied with..." part of your quote. It'll be another year or two before I get an updated D-SLR. But, now that I am making a bit of money with my camera, I think the wife will loosen the tight grip she has on my camera "habits" (She is supporting me until I finish school!) As of this morning, I added that Tamron 200-400mm to my camera bag via eBay and USPS. I needed a longer lens than my 80-200mm (which is roughly equivalent to a 120-300mm lens on the D-SLR) to shoot the college soccer games. I had one of these lenses up until about a year ago when I decided that it was not needed as I wasn't shooting anything that I couldn't just walk closer to. So I sold it on eBay. So now with this lens, I have the equivalent of a 300-600mm f5.6 to shoot soccer with.

I guess I can't help much in this discussion. I like film. It's like a longer, floppier flash memory card that you have to wait to see results from. Mine goes in a variety of Pentax bodies.
Since that's not what you were asking, I'll stop now.

no no that is exactly what I am asking... and for the record I dig Pentax too. I just hate having to scan pics to post on the net so I am being forcefully converted to the digital world.

So just because you shoot film doesnt' mean you can't tell us about your cameras. Do tell.....NOW!

telling NOW
I used to have a Pentax ZX-7, an automatic SLR with the option of full manual use. But the drive motor went out on that, and it would cost almost as much as a new camera, so I got a new camera.
I went with the ZX-6. A step up, though the number is 1 less. Still an auto SLR with the manual option, and it's been treating me right. That became my "old" camera when I got a "new" one, a vintage K1000 fully manual. I tend to keep black and white film in that one, just because it feels right. Okay, I cheat a little bit and use the C-41 black and white film. Since I don't have my own dark room, it just makes sense. I started getting SLRs because of the camera mount I had on my old Tasco refracting telescope. I shot 1 okay picture through it, which didn't turn out very good, so I eventually got a Meade reflecting telescope with a camera mount. That led to my 3rd Pentax body, a Honeywell Pentax Spotmatic II. It's got a threaded lens, as opposed to the quick-connects that fit both the other bodies. It's a shame I've designated this one the telescope's body. That f/1:1.4 50mm makes for a great lens. I suppose it would work well in the conditions I'd be using the telescope in. Maybe I'll get some photos of people looking through the scope, or something like that. I learned recently that my lenses will fit the new Pentax full 35mm frame CCD digital cameras. I suppose that means it would be easier to move to one of those one of these days. But I'm not holding my breath.

If we are moving back to cameras, away from weapons ...
I use a Minolta Dimage 7:  I know there are better ones that are newer than this one, but when it was new, it was pretty cool.

It's a 22 megapixel medium format camera. (read: $22000 and includes one lens!) This would be my next step up if I could afford it. And it's not even the biggest or baddest digicam out there! Last edited by jdesigns; 10-10-2005 at 06:40 AM..
