What brand of camera do you shoot with?

[Jamison]

Poll question: What brand of camera do you shoot with?

Just wondering what everyone uses.

I use a Nikon D70 digital SLR.

[Blue_In_AK]

1. I have a Sony Mavica CD400

courtesy of my husband's ex-wife. :evilgrin: I like it for the convenience of having the photos saved to a disk, but someday I'd like a camera with $800 lenses and stuff.

[Touchdown]

2. Can't have just one.

Nikon N60 film SLR
Nikon Coolpix 8700
Minolta XG-1 film SLR- 20 year old manual workhorse
Olympus Stylus zoom point and shoot film camera (little pocket camera. usually filled with B/W, since I can't afford a Leica)

[electricmonk]

4. Me too

Nikon N65
Nikon D70
2 Minolta X-700's
Sony P51

Among others.

[Mr. McD]

3. My digital is an Olympus C-700

It's 2.1 megapixal with a 10 X optical zoom. My film camera is a Minolta SRT 101 system I got in 1969. I still us it on occasion.

I am looking to get a higher resolution digital.

[bvar22]

17. I'm using the C-750

with 4.0 Megapixel and 10X optical zoom.
The 10X optical zoom and the capability for lens attachments is what sold me on this camra.
I really like it!

[Mr. McD]

19. It was the 10 X zoom that sold me. No attachments though.

My other option at the time was a 3 megapixel with out the zoom. 3 megapixel was the highest resolution available at the time.

[Lisa0825]

41. I just got the C-765 last night. The zoom is what sold me too!

I had a nice 35mm with a zoom lens, which was stolen a couple years ago, along with all the filters and other accessories. I never had the money to replace it all. The lens I had was a $800 zoom, which I got used for $350. *sigh* But I absolutely LOVE zoom shooting, so I was primarily looking for a camera in my price range that would have that capability.

[HamstersFromHell]

5. All Nikons, with few exceptions

Over the years:

Nikon FM, FM2, FE, FE2, FA, F2AS, F3HP, N2002, N2020, N6006

Bell & Howell/Canon 7 Rangefinder (loved the 50mm f/0.95 lens)

Rolliflex

Hassleblad 2000F


Currently:

N80, N6006, N2020, CoolPix 775

Next:

D70 or D50

[TahitiNut]

6. Wow. I guess I know where I stand with my cheap little Kodak.

"Other"? :eyes: I guess I should've invested an arm or a leg for a penis extension with a socially acceptable logo. :silly:

[ET Awful]

7. Well, I don't see Hasselblad on the list, and I have a distinct feeling

that doesn't mean it's a worse camera. :)

Not having a fancy brand doesn't mean jack squat. You take good pictures, that's all that matters :).

Hell, I only have my D70 because my boss paid for it :).

[Jamison]

8. Sorry I couldn't include Kodak

The poll only gave me 10 choices.

Kodak makes some decent cameras.

[RC]

18. Kodak 7590

On continuously for almost 2½ hours. I took 190 pictures @ 5meg, including using the flash. Got home and download the pictures from the camera into the computer and it was still going. I have never run down the battery on this camera.

[F.Gordon]

12. ..

:rofl:

I had considered that.... but Ms FG insists that she is comfortable with my focal length and filter diameter size. :P Anyway.... if it ever does become an issue I hear you can buy inexpensive focal extensions.

For me...it was a screw retirement thing. We are resolved in the fact that retirement isn't going to happen so I figured if I'm going to have to work till I take the long nap I might as well enjoy it. :)

In the long run it is also probably much cheaper than a Zoloft Rx and Therapy. :crazy: When I wander off by myself to take a few snapshots it is an incredibly healing kinda' thing.

[TahitiNut]

13. Well, I've tried banana mounts.

Messy. :silly:

[F.Gordon]

14. Thanks for the tip

And to think I was considering those. :crazy:

[alfredo]

9. Canon S50 5mp

Nice camera.

[F.Gordon]

10. Fuji

I opted to spend the additional $1.23 and go for the one with the built in flash and ISO 400 film.

[F.Gordon]

11. Whoa! Jamison......

I just saw your entry in the Water Thing.
:thumbsup:

Welcome to the best damn Photography place on the web. Hope ya' hang around for a month or 20.
:hi:

Don't think my Ice Cubes will have a chance against your fishie in the water. Does anyone know what the theme for August is? :crazy:

[Jamison]

15. Thanks

Your ice cubes pic is good. There are a lot of good ones posted, so competition will be close I think.

I have a good theme I could suggest for August...buildings or city skylines. I dunno if that one has been used already tho.

[Blue_In_AK]

16. We talked about architecture a while ago...

...but nothing ever came of it.

[F.Gordon]

20. Danke

I have a couple of better versions of Ice Cubes but I'm going to sit out this contest. I'm glad to see some newcombers jumping in.

BTW. Your poll? Besides the Fuji One-Shot that I really do use... have a Nikon Point and Shoot and a Canon DSLR. Didn't want you to think that I was a complete ass for doing that Fuji post.

I would love to see an architecture theme. Skylines might be hard for those that live in rural or smaller town areas.

And yes.... there are a TON of fantastic Water Photos. Should be interesting. :D

[peacebuzzard]

25. LOL! You 2 are giving me a much needed laugh!

And even tho you are laughing and beating yourselves up, I enjoyed both of your entries. I liked the color and shapes and intrigue. Thanks! As a photo teacher once told me, "If you can't make it good, make it darker, and if you can't make it darker, make it bigger!"

[superconnected]

21. Cameras

Olympus D-535
Pentax zx-10

The second one is film and currently only collects dust.

[Mutley]

22. an HP digital of some sort.

Is it a sign of how crappy my camera is that HP is not on the list? :rofl: Hey, it was a free hand-me-down from my parents so I can't complain.

[regnaD kciN]

23. I got a Nikon camera...

...I love to take a photograph.
But, Mama, just take my Kodachrome away!

(Because I'm shooting digital. ;-) )

Full list (in order of use)
Nikon 5700
Canon A-1
Minolta SRT200 (currently non-operational)
Yashica 120 twin-reflex (1950s vintage -- don't know model number)

[peacebuzzard]

24. I still use 35mm Nikon & dup to CD. If I could, I'd buy a Leica digital

and fall in love all over again.:loveya:
I did buy a very small cigarette pack size Gateway camcorder/digital camera I have been toying with just to dabble w/ the digital transfer process and become acquainted w/ the tools. I am from the old school, as a matter of fact, a security inspector at the airport looked at my Nikon 35 and said, "Oh, that's an antique camera!" Well, I guess we are. Hence, my handle. Peacebuzzard.

[ralps]

26. I have an Olympus D-460 zoom

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[catnhatnh]

27. I shoot both Pentax and Nikon....

...but poor old Pentax looked so lonely with no votes....K1000 for manual, A3000 for slr "point and shoot" and nice CHEAP,CHEAP,CHEAP lenses allowing me to own from 17mm thru 500mm with doubler.Nikon N-65 with cheaper N-55 backup body and oh yeah, a Kiev 88 (hassleblad knockoff) that I just purchased...

[kliljedahl]

29. I've got 2 of the K1000, can I vote twice?

Digital is a Sony Mavica CD, but I just use it for snapshots. My K1000's are workhorses, hiking & camping there's nothing better.


Keith’s Barbeque Central

[Blue_In_AK]

30. Is your Mavica the 400 like mine?

[kliljedahl]

31. Mines the CD 350

An earlier model I think, but I like it.

On edit: I'm looking at SLR's, but don't have the money right now.



Keith’s Barbeque Central

[Blue_In_AK]

33. Me, too.

I like the Mavica a lot, but there's some things I just can't do even with the adaptors and lenses I have. Maybe when I get like "really" old and don't have to worry about saving money for the future, I'll just blow what I have left and get myself something really extravagant. The kids can take care of themselves. :evilgrin: They don't need no inheritance....

[Eurobabe]

28. Canon EOS 20D

So damn busy with work though, have had little time to play and figure out all the goodies. Sigh.

[GOPFighter]

32. Olympus 5050-Z

Somehow it manages to make mundane pictures look good (or at least better). Perfect size, weight, portability, settings for me, though I wish it had an 800 ISO setting.

[Maestro]

34. Canon Digital Rebel XT EOS 350D

with stock lens.

[F.Gordon]

35. Hi Maestro

:hi:

I recall seeing a beautiful Water photograph that you took with your new camera. You should enter it.

Nudge. Nudge. Wink. Wink. ;-)

[Maestro]

36. You mean this pic?

I love the way the water flows out of the nozzle. :rofl: :hi:

[acmejack]

37. D-70

nt

[BamaGirl]

38. I'm the only Minolta user?

Sorry for bumping this. I came over here today curious about what people were using and here was this poll lol! I can't believe I'm the only Minolta user.

I use a Minolta X-700. Film and all manual. Yes, I know I'm weird lol. :P I have a Nikon N65 and a Pentax, um can't think what it is and I'm not digging it out to look. Can't stand either one of them and I never use them.

[TahitiNut]

39. I have a Minolta SRT-102 which is my film SLR.

I've had it for about 30 years. I haven't gotten it out for quite a while, though.

[regnaD kciN]

42. Likewise, I have/had a SRT-200...

...which I picked up in 1976. Full manual, no bells and whistles (except a DOF button). It currently needs repair, but, for all its simplicity, I sometimes think I did my best work with it.

[BamaGirl]

44. That's it

I compare stuff from my cameras, and the Minolta work appeals to me so much more. The only time I skip it is if I'm doing a wedding with my dad.

[BamaGirl]

45. Yeah, mine's pretty old lol

I've had it about 10 years I guess, but my dad bought it new when I was a kid. I love the old Minolta's.

[Mr. McD]

48. See post #3

I have a Minolta SRT 101 System. It is about 36 years old but still takes good pics.


:hi:

[Lisa0825]

40. I just bought an Olympus C-765 last night!:-)

I've finally entered the digital age!

[regnaD kciN]

43. Congratulations...

...now you'll be able to blow the rest of us away on "reflections" and "hot days of summer."

I've always thought that there's no one more dangerous in DU contests than a long-time film shooter who suddenly has access to the wonders of the digital world.

[Coastie for Truth]

46. Nikon N-8008 and Coolpix 4800 and 7900

Love that Coolpix 4800 for Grand Prix auto races

[F.Gordon]

47. Hi Coastie!!!

Would love to have ya' share a few of your Grand Prix photos. Racing/Sports shots don't get much "play" around here. I promise if you share a few I'll join in with ya'.

:hi:

[hyphenate]

49. My new one is a Konica Minolta A200

My old digital, which still works wonderfully, is a Kodak. It's only a 2 MP though, that is now 5 years old. It's simply not powerful enough for my return to photography.

My SLRs are both Minolta, my oldest is an SRT SC-II, and the one my sister gave to me is a Maxxum 300SI, which is almost completely an automatic, which is why I don't particular like it. Give me an old manual any day.

The new digital is an 8.3MP, which is supposed to give me wickedly clear and high res photos. I'm hoping! I'm going on a weekend trip next weekend (Oct 1) to test it out in an area I'm pretty familiar with. I'll see if it rivals the film camera when I get home.
