Ok...
Whatcha got?
I have the basics:
Nikon D70s
Ancient (mid 1980's) Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 AI-S manual focus
Nikkor AF-S 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 G ED
Ancient Sunpack 383 Super strobe
Looking to get a couple more lenses and a new body, something that has better high ISO performance. Nikon D7000 is on the short list, or a D300 or D300s if I can find a clean one used.
Anyway....some random pics:

Great pics!

Canon fan here. several cameras, but nothing really nice in 35mm. Have nice Fuji medium format that was only used for few rolls of film. 'shame it's sitting here unused . . .
few pix, most are pretty old.

few more . . .

GRAT pix Evo and Pierre!
The Nikon D7000 is a great camera. Probably the best one out there in its price rage. From everything I heard, it's a WAY better deal than the D300.
Like everything else, it's the photog and not the gear, though. I went with Canon when I made the switch from film to digi.
Canon 30D (Love that rear dial) is a 6-year old 6MP workhorse that still delivers awesome results. If I ever upgrade, I'd really like a full frame 5D or 5D MkII.
Glass:
Canon 10-22 F/3.5 - 4.5 (WIDE angle. My favorite lens)
Canon EFS 17-55 F/2.8 (great low-light SHARP zoom)
Canon 50 F/2.8 Macro (for shooting artwork)
Canon 100-400 L (For birdies and other far away things)
Sigma 18-200 (Super zoom for travel)
I got a Canon Powershot S90 last year and it takes such nice pix, and is so small and versatile, I find I'm using it more for traveling. GREAT shots, even in low light, full manual mode and fits in my pocket.
THe archaeological fieldwork I sometimes do requires me to still use film. I have two AE-1s with a variety of primes.
One cool thing is a special metal ring that allows me to mount an old F-Mount lens backwards onto my digital 30D body. The result is a cheap but awesome macro rig! Especially when I use a wide-angle lens.
I've been lax about posting photos, but here's a link to my Flickr page.

Maybe this thread will kick my butt into posting some more up there.

My brother deals film cameras (and teaches repair).
I have sent him dozens from garage sales including an old Leica Sharkskin. He messes about with some Russian Leica copies as well.
I still have four or five 35's kicking around though I haven't used them since we got the Canon 40D.
Though we had a Canon AE-1 and AT-1, my favorite for the last few years was a Konica TC
On a side note, he was recently very excited to tell me that a buddy of his from a camera club was building Stereoptic units and discovered that old hard drives provide plentiful and inexpensive mirror material.

My first passion was photography back in the day I did a 10 year stint as wedding photographer. I shot with a Pentax 645 and Sun Pack dedicated flash. I used portable White Lightning flash units with slaves for groups and posed pics. I really loved going on locations for pre-wedding shots but I actually hated the "hurry up and shoot" atmosphere and the "Where in the F did he go we need him for this shot" stress of wedding day. Holy Sh!t I could tell stories for hours about some of the nightmares...
In my collection I have
Nikon D 80
Pentax 645
Cannon AE1
An old mamiya twin lens.

Annnnd I'm prepping for a trip with the band next week and my camera's battery charger walked off...
Borrowing my wife's Nikon D40. This thing is tiny but it takes some great shots. I miss all the dedicated buttons though, fumbling through menus is a pain. With the D70s can switch all the essential things with the camera glued to my eye.
Crazy thing about the D40 (and the D70/s) - unlimited flash sync. Fun.
Looked at a Nikon D300s and a D7000 yesterday. Toss up for me. The D7000 is amazing (like the best thing Nikon has ever put out) but the D300s is just a brick house, pro-level camera and fits my hand better.

The biggest gripe that I have with the digital camera offerings right now, is the lack of viewfinders on anything but (relatively) conventional DSLR's.
Canon G series I think one Nikon model still retains them, and the "Pen" type compact SLR's have hot shoe add-ons. Otherwise, it's the straight-arm style of shooting that I hate for most other choices!

Yeah, I checked out a Nikon P7000, it's their top point and shoot (hot shoe, tons of dials, etc) and I was like "Oh killer, a viewfinder!"
Almost useless. Super tiny, major crop, no info in it.

So we picked up the Nikon P7000 for my wife. Once you get past the viewfinder it's an amazing camera. You can actually run it in full manual control and it gives you quick access to all the major functions. Even has a hot shoe. On a point and shoot. Weird huh?
Also picked up the newer Nikkor AF-S 50mm f/1.8 G. Super sharp and fast for $200.
ALSO ordered a Nikon D7000 with a battery grip. It's photo-month here.

im due for a new model upgrade--woud LOVE LOVE LOVE to have a 5d mark II, but ill probably have to settle for a 7d or wahtever the next model will be i assume comes out in sept. I also want to get the nifty fifty/fantastic plastic 50mm eventually--that looks fun.
photography is my hobby but i unfortunately never really get time anymore to take pictures of anything but shirts and hats.

Hah! Tell me about it.
I'm doing a two week tour with the band coming (Europe) up so that is the only time I get to do any real shooting.

I'm looking at getting a canon T2i, any thought? I am from the film era with my Nikon FM2. Been using a Canon powershot for the last few years shooting toy soldier dioramas.
Thanks

The big thing is glass, not bodies. If you still have a bunch of Nikon glass from back in the day you can make it work on many of the digital bodies. If you have no lenses at all, then you are at square one.
This chart rules:
http://www.nikonians.org/nikon/slr-lens.html (http://www.nikonians.org/nikon/slr-lens.html)
My suggestion would be to set a max budget and go pick up some cameras to get a feel for them. Most of the decent DSLR's from Nikon and Canon will produce excellent images, (especially anything north of 8 megapixels) - it all comes to personal preference in how the camera feels in your hand and how comfortable you are with the menu system.
I prefer the Nikon bodies because they are quick to use. Once you get the button/wheel combos down you can fly through the settings without digging into menus.

I have a few Cannon lenses for an old 35mm film body, some good ones, went out last year to finally get a digital body or something digital in an SLR. The problem I found was the lenses I have, in order to be their true focal length, needed to be used with a full frame cmos sensor, in other words, the 5D Mark II minimum which is mega-bucks and no built in flash. There nothing like having an expensive ultrawide lense that is not so wide because you can't afford the right body.
So a friend of mine turned me onto these newer Sony Alpha cameras, I got the A55. It's super fast, like 10fps continuous, does HD video with continuous auto focus (amazing quality), and has about a billion features (most of which I do not understand), but one really cool feature is the 3D Panorama where the camera takes about 10 frames as you move your arm from left to right to capture a landscape or wide area, then assembles the frames automatically into one superwide photo, it's pretty bad ass.
The only lense I've been able to afford is a Sigma f/2.8 17-50mm which is a great lense. I really want to get a good Macro lense for super close ups and an ultra wide, but haven't had time to do the research.

My main gripe with the small electronic viewfinder interchangeable lens cameras, or EVIL for short, is that they aren't pocketable. Sure, some may be pocketable so long as you are using a short prime, but forget anything with a zoom. My secondary gripe is that most of them aside from the sony nex use tiny sensors. I forgot who it was, but there was some new model announced that sounded really nice and portable, then I read the crop factor. It was something like 4x or more, I forget.
I must say that lack of an optical ttl viewfinder is a bummer as well. I like to be able to take photos in the 1/30 and below range handheld. Having the camera at arms length makes that difficult, even with stabilization on.
As for Nikon cameras being easier because of layout, I would say that it is a function of the nature of DSLR rather than nikons particular methods. I have a canon t1i, so faras I can gather it is a terrible layout as far as DSLRs are concerned, at least compared to the pro bodies. Yet I can adjust every part of my exposure without taking my eye from the viewfinder. I have no doubt that I will find the 1d that I plan to get next much easier to use. But it is to the point that I nearly get confused when handed a point and shoot due the lack of physical control.
Actually, if I am being honest, the consumer nikon DSLRs are currently pretty bad in terms of controls in my experience. A friend has a d5000 and he asked me to take some pictures with it. Every time I wanted to change something I had to ask how and it mostly seemed to involve looking at the lcd and navigating menus. Maybe it was the way that he had it set up, but it was really awkward. The last time I used the menu on my camera was about a month ago when I changed the back button focus setting off and then back on again for the time that my sister wanted to take pictures and wanted them to be in focus, lol.
Ultimately, I am jealous of the inexpensive 35mm f/1.8 that nikon makes. I have the nifty fifty, but it would be nice to have a little less length for only a little more money.
To end on a bombshell, I grew up using film cameras, point and shoots, but that was all that was available to me. Even so, if it weren't for digital, I would never have bothered getting into photography.

Not much of a camera geek, but I've got an older Nikon film SLR and an older Sony digital. Went to the UK in 2003, and in the mad dash to make the flight, took only the Nikon and a cheap rangefinder of my wife's. First stop, Stonehenge. Get my camera out. The new battery I'd bought for the Nikon was in Florida. Get her rangefinder out. Batteries have leaked. Expletives and oaths are uttered. Kind of overcast, but I say eff it. Set the Nikon on 1/60, and the f-stop on 2.8 or thereabouts and shoot film. Get home over a week later and open the envelope from the film developer. Photos came out great if not perfect. Something to be said about film cameras and their ability to shoot without the benefit of the exposure meter. My first camera was a cheap Sears that took 127 roll film, and the "aperture" lever had three positions: a sun, a sun behind a cloud, and a cloud. I think the aperture was nothing but a rotating disk with three holes in it.

The 5000, 5100, 3000, 3100, etc are Nikon's entry level models. They rely heavily on the LCD "Info" menu system. This is intended to guide beginners through the camera settings. Once you get to the mid-level offerings (D70, D80, D90, D7000, etc) there are better dedicated controls for everything.
Before I went with the D7000, I picked up the Canon 60D and the 7D, and even the 5D Mk II. (I was considering making the jump for better video control...)
The Nikons are much more to my liking. All of the buttons and dials just seem in the "right" spot. This is completely a matter of personal preference though.
As far as compacts, at least right now, Fuji has the market cornered with the X100. APS-C sized sensor in a small rangefinder size.

Ooo... I wanna play!
Picked up a Canon 50D a while back, fairly cheap.
Started with a Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS.
Then added the Canon 50mm 1.4 prime (sweet lens)
And then the Tamron AF 17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical [IF] (it's fun around the house)
I also added the 580 EX flash... bounce flash instantly takes your photos to another level.
Here is a pic I took the first weekend with the 55-250:

Here is a crop of it at FULL rez... that IS is amazing!

If I remember correctly those shots are right out the camera... I did later add a little bit of sharpening and it got even better... this is still my buddies desktop wallpaper on his computer. LOL

Since then I've been hanging out with Eric Curtis http://www.ericcurtisphoto.com/ (http://www.ericcurtisphoto.com/) This man is an AMAZING photographer.
They (my bro-in-law, him and a couple of others) are shooting a few coffee table books (Mime Very Own Book and Fallen Super Heroes).
Here is a test shot from Fallen Super Heroes:

Those might be my C-Stands that the strobes are on... does that count for anything? ;)
Obviously final shots didn't have the strobes in the shot or the lens flare.
-
I enjoy photography too i own a cannon EOS ELAN II E is film camera
one thing i notice when taken a picture in broad daylight the film camera does a better job with contrast
digital cameras seems blow the small details away in the same lighting conditions
By the way how do you posts your pics here
Thanks
-
You can add them as attachments but there are size (dimensional and mb wise)... go to advance posting or click reply and look under the box.
BTW, for the record, just reread my first post... when I say "It is amazing" I am strictly talking about the camera. :)
For those that say it is the photographer... well, yes... if you want a shot like the one of the Fallen Super Hero... it is. But that camera instantly makes you 300% better photographer.. well, if you aren't afraid to learn the manual settings. :)
-
Wow Kevin, that is one amazing shot!!!
-
The book should be out SOON... I've seen some layout "test" on his iPad and it's looking pretty good.
Just wish I was "unique" enough to be a Fallen Super Hero... guess I'm just good enough to be a homeless bum.

I recently traded up my old Nikon D50 for a used D80, and while it's not the latest & the greatest, I love it! Nabbed it for $300.00 & it had 2800 shutter actuations, which is nothing.
I've been slowly acquiring lenses -- I've got a nikon 50 mm f1.8 for speed, a Tamron 90 mm 1:1 macro, and just a couple weeks ago, I nabbed a used Tamron 18-200 mm zoom. I'd had my eye on the Nikon 18-200 mm but it was $800.00 -- out of my range (I have kids!). The Tamron was a fraction of the price & the guy at the camera shop said the main difference was that the Tamron wouldn't focus as fast in auto-focus mode. I'm okay with the tradeoff & it's my general-purpose lens now, and I'm able to put the 18-55 mm kit lens away for good.
Shot film for many, many years with a Pentax K-1000 & still have an 80's era Canon AE-1 & a 50's Era Zeiss Contina. I keep color slide film in the Canon & black & white print film in the Zeiss. For a consumer-level point & shoot, the Zeiss is a damn fine camera. It's a viewfinder, so you've got to guess on the focus ring, but when you guess right, you're rewarded. :-)
I keep my photo stuff up on Flickr Here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/cvreeland/). Just an amateur enthusiast.
We also have a Nikon D40 at work that I use almost every day for "digital proofs." Has made life soooo much easier. Print sample, take photo, email photo, get client feedback. We print for folks around the world, so no more mailing physical shirts, and locally, no more waiting for walk-in press checks.

Hello, My name is Nobrainsd and I am a photography geek...
Started out building my own camera housing back in the 70's to shoot surf. Bashed the first one on the reef and flooded my first slr (pentax). I'm just shooting with a Canon 40D now. I think I love my 500mm Century telephoto the most. I haven't busted out the Nikon Rangefinder (I have a superb piece of glass for it , a Nikkor 28mm) nor the 630, the Bolex 16mm or any of the other film cameras I've got in a long time. Sad. I think my Canon Elph in it's waterproof case gets the most abuse!
Went out on a boat recently to take some shots for a web page . There was another photographer aiming for tight close ups. I was shooting for wider frame images to be used as backgrounds on the web pages. Great fun! I rode up front since I had the cheapest gear and huddled over my camera when we would catch spray. So much fun having riders cut right out to our boat. Should at least get credit this time (they liberated some of my work on their previous site).
C'mon, post more pics!

it looks like you were not the only one having fun!!!

I'm a Sony/Minolta guy myself...
Nice shots Ron.
Have you seen the specs for the a77 yet? What a beast.
Yes, yes I did... Although now the a99 has made an appearance so until one of my a700's goes kaput (and the refurb cost goes up to over $250) I'll be shooting with them. I do love the new ones, but $2k for a body is just painful now. Especially when I can send those a700's in for full refurb replacements for $250...

I am shooting Fujifilm now btw. Sold all my Nikon gear except a couple speedlights.
X-pro1 since the middle of last year. Amazing files and the whole kit weighs a 1/4 of what my D3 and lenses weighed.

I've got some pretty good shots of yellow canaries at our bird feeder in TN. We are somewhat out in the country and have plenty if wildlife. Humming birds, black, Blue jays, cardinals, large and small wood peckers, rabbits, squirrels, deer and lots of skunks. SKUNKS!
I have some Visio of the skunks. I'll have to post the pics. I only have the right card reader on my lap top so it's a transfer process. Will post later.

Back in a previous life, I did wedding photography professionally in the film days... Got burnt out but still love grabbing the camera (Nikon D80) and heading out down the path less traveled. Here is a video I did of some of the shots I have done with some video effects.

Damn, Donnie. That's some nice stuff. I can't even begin to choose my favorite.

With the highest divorce rate in the country, Oklahoma does provide the added bonus of a higher chance of repeat customers.

I did one wedding that lasted just long enough to deliver the initial order. They split about a week later. I did one wedding where the brides parents had recently split. Dad showed up with the "home wrecker" who was not invited. Chit went south in a hurry. I've got stories that would make soaps blush.

Some of this is done with an iphone, Nikon digital and some done with film....
