come on then share with us what type of cameras do you all use.
canon 400D and a small casio.
Nikon D70 for landscape, Konica Minolta Z10 for macro
I now have two cameras because I just went back and bought myself a manual SLR so I have a
Digital - Nikon CP5400 5.1 mp
and
Analogue - Minolta X-700 Japanese model with 50mm lens
Mine is a toy, an Olympus D-560. Sometimes hubby lets me use his Nikon D80 with super duper zoom lens
...it's like switching from a VW to a Ferrari [lol]
But still dont have a clue how to work it and still getting to grips with it !!!!
I have had my Nikon digital for two years and still haven't opened the book, i am so lazy, unfortunately with most digitals you can set it to Auto and just snap away and never learn the full potential of what you can do. One day I am going to lock myself in a room with the manual :lol:Quote:

Whist on that subject any suggestions on a decent fisheye about 12mm?
Olympus E500 and an Olympus C750UZ. Fynny thing is I tend to prefer the C750, I seem to get better results quicker!:roll:
stuff reading the manual, take it outside, stick it on manual mode and play, it's digital, if it doesn't look right hit delete (that's how i am learning mine, i ain't one for sat inside reading when i could be out taking piccies :lol:)Quote:

Canon A95 Supershot.
Canon 20D plus still got my old 2mp Canon Powershot A20 from 2001, handy for nights out and parties :)
Kop.
Canon EOS 400D and in Ixus 700.
Soney super steady shot 5.1mega pixels x12 zoom, will also take several minutes of movie for general photo use. (with assorted filters i never seem to use)
Canon EOS 400D with canon 100-40Omm 5.6 zoom lens and canon x2 extender. Purchased for hobby that requires long range shots.
Canon: EOS350D body with battery grip
Sigma lenses: 10-20mm, 24-70mm, 135-400mm
Canon: Speedlite 430EX
Manfrotto: Tripod with camera & video heads
Cokin: Various Gradient filters
Tamrac: Expedition 5 equipment shoulder case
Software: Adobe Photoshop CS2, Google Picasa
Memory: Sandisk 1Gb cards
fuji finepics E900 ( brilliant camera but only 4x optical zoom needed more!!)
and most recently canon eos 400 d with 18 - 55 lens and 70 - 300 zoom. am just learning. I hate manuals too!
What is the benefit to using filters rather than applying in software? Not that I have got beyond my Olympus CAMEDIA C-50 yet.Quote:

See below for a couple of examples. (Top: Blue Gradient, bottom: Neutral Density)
