I mostly use a ~30 year old Hasselblad 500CM, but sometimes I’ll slum it with a Canon 20D.

an Olympus c5050z is the one for the road and an old Zenith for the lab. I normally carry a small flash attached to the camera by a cable to move it around with some colour filters. nothing else. Its really small, normally i carry it on the pouch of my coat.

This incorrectly assumes that everyone has a “main” camera. I’m sure heaps of people do, but I don’t.

By Haje Jan Kamps on October 6th, 2006 (permalink)

Nicolai: I don’t have a ‘main’ camera either. Horses for courses, and all that. But I do use my 30D more than any of my other cameras, so I guess that woudl be the one that gets my vote :)

D50 Nikon… amateur, low budget all the way.

By Matt Simpson on October 7th, 2006 (permalink)

My main camera is a Canon DSLR, but I also have a lot of other cameras and I enjoy reading articles about all kind of photography. In other words, I’m not so sure that this blog needs to cater for anyone specific (more than it already does, anyway).

hi, canon eos 300d

By Beth on October 7th, 2006 (permalink)

Come on guys… where are all the hardcore Nikon users when you need them? Obviously we’re an elite few :P (don’t take this personally Canon people)

By Brian Larter on October 8th, 2006 (permalink)

For Digital I use a Canon 30D with a 28-135 USM IS f3.5

for film though I use an old Ricoh with a wide variety of lenses.

Photography is the power of observation, not the application of technology (Ken Rockwell)

I couldn’t care less what camera anyone uses, I prefer to let the results speak for themselves. Not that I’m a star photographer, but I don’t like equipement discussions; they usually result in verbal bashing… take a look at the dpreview forums.

Nikon D50 with 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G and 70-300mm 1:4-5.6G

The best DSLR I have found for the price.
I have used canon and nikon DSLR and I love the Pentax hands down!
It is well built, durable, comfortable, inexpensive, and its photos look incredable. Allways underrated I shall use Pentax for the rest of my life!

So, the 550D and the 50D cost practically the same, and have different advantages. Which one would you buy?

  • • Seems a bit pointless to me, but Canon is buying the .canon top level domain: http://is.gd/aLJEp . Why? (link)
  • • That goes in the same category as ExpertSexChange.com and PsychoTheRapist.com, I suppose. (link)
  • • ferrethandjobs.com is actually a completely SFW domain, despite the hillarious URL. I'm enough of a geek to enjoy that. (link)

About

This site is all about learning more about photography, from the incredibly insightful (rarely) to the dreadfully mundane (also, hopefully rarely) via just about everything in between.

If this website seems a little whimsical and random, then that's because the author of this blog, who for the occasion is confusing himself by writing about himself in the third person, is slightly whimsical and random himself.

Enjoy!
