I have seen lots of nice pictures that you all have taken. And was wondering what cameras do you use?
I use a
Nikon D90
Cannon S3 IS
Nikon S8200
It all depends on which one i grab. lol
I usually use an old Olympus D550Zoom. My second camera is a Nikon L20. I also have a Vivitar 3935.
Jeff can tell you what I use after that discusion yesterday…I use a Canon Powershot A400
Well my wife shows and breeds Golden Retrievers and always complained we didn’t have a decent camera. So Santa brought her a Nikon D5000 for Christmas. Now both Santa and his wife are happy. If only Santa would take time out to learn how to use it he could take much better pictures.

I still use my old reliable Kodak Z700, although I’ve found I get better macro pics with my new Samsung Galaxy SII Epic 4G Touch Android phone.
I usually use my Canon Digital Rebel XSi, But on occasion use the Digital rebel XT (my older camera). I have a bit more money tied up in glass as I have 4 different lenses I use for different types of shots.
I also use Photoshop to process my photos.
All of those are fine cameras, nicer than mine. I use a Kodak Z1485 point-n-shoot. I bought it at Staples. Although now that Kodak is bankrupt I cannot recommend their products any more.
The photo below was taken with my daughter’s Kodak CX6200, a 2mp point-and-shoot. (If you click to view the original size, you can then click on that image to get an even larger view.)
This one was done using a 4mp Kodak C330, a point-and-shoot with a few options:
This was taken with a Kodak Z700, also 4mp, another point-and-shoot with a couple of options:
For posting pictures online, you don’t need anything too complicated or expensive.

I’m using a well-worn Canon PowerShot SX100 IS. It’s got a handy 10x optical zoom. Does macros by just punching a button better than my previous generation PS A70 with an add-on macro lens. It’s about 4 years old, so superseded by newer models, but has been a very reliable camera.
What’s “well-worn”? I’m a historian. Historians rarely have much of a budget, so try to get the most done as possible when visiting an archive. In my case, I do Cold War history, so have done research work at both the Ike and JFK presidential libraries, plus the main NARA facility outside DC. Abilene is way cheaper than Boston and DC, what can I say?[Y]
I like 'em all as far as visiting and the helpful staffs, but I’m on a budget. So need to get info from as many docs as possible in a week or so. When I started out, using a scanner was the best way to do this. Digital cameras have replaced scanners, which are too slow. I’ve taken somewhere around 15,000 images with this SX 100 IS and it’s still working just fine. The few RR pics are > 1% of its use. Basically, I can point and shoot and then capture and process the images just fine. The only thing slowing this down sometimes are the rules at the archive, because some files are, well… difficult in terms of trying to get good images, fragility, etc.
Can’t beat a Canon in my book. But have heard Sony has a hot new digicam, though, but if it ain’t broke around here, don’t spend money on it[zzz]
I use a Nikon D70s and a Panasonic DMC-FH25 for most of my digital work.

Doesn’t matter what camera I use – if my thumb or the lens cap isn’t in the way, the focus is off, or the depth of field is screwed up, or something. This is why you don’t see a lot of my photos out there.
I keep hoping that someday, my wife (who is the shutterbug in the family) will decide that my “waste of space” in the basement is worth taking photos of!
I think that it would have been nice to have an example photo showing the results one can get with each particular camera mentioned.
