I have a Nikon D40 and D50 with 18-135, 50 1.8d, 55-200 and 70-300VR lenses and a SB-600 flash!
Planning to pick up a D80 soon!
I guess thats more than you wanted to know!
PS: Any DPReview members here?

Iām now an owner of a Nikon D40 Iām still learning to use the manual settings. So far, Iāve only used the control wheel which offers seven Digital Vari-Program (idiot) modes. Hereās a sample of the macro mode:
I have a canon rebel XTi also but its an older version that still uses film unfortunately. but I really want to get the digital version sometime soon
One day canon and nikon will catch up and put some image stabilization in-camera. Like my minolta dynax 5d
(or sony/pentax dslrs)
According to Canon, the reason they donāt is that in-body stabilization is not as effective as stabilization in the lens, especially with longer lenses:

Whether thatās true or whether itās just to get us to shell out more cash on each lens I donāt know
Film Cameras
Canon AE-1P
Pentax 645
TOYO 45GX (large format camera)
4x5 Speed Graphic press camera (for display only)
Digital
Fuji S2
Fuji S20
I like the S20 for fast moving or no light meter work. Trying to get children to sit still for 10 seconds or photographing in full sun at mid day. It is extremely intuitive.
I really love my old Pentax 645 and the 4x5 though. Just wish there was more hours in a day for shooting and developing B&W film.
Canon 350D or in America know as Rebel
kit lensā¦
Any advice for new lens⦠Kit lens is terribleā¦
I have the Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 as my standard āwalkaroundā lens. Itās much higher quality than the kit lens, has a wider max aperture with a similar zoom range, not very expensive, and itās quite light, too (although a bit heavier than the kit lens)
well, Sonyās DSLRs are same as Minolta & if old Minolta lenses fit on them then any manufacturers Minolta lenses should as well, because as of yet Sony doesnāt have its own different mount & I donāt think they will if they want to keep their Minolta customers whoāve collected lenses over a period of time.
I just upgraded from my D80 and 18-135 to a D200 with 18-200 VR and 70-200 2.8 VR.
For my camera is Sony cyber-shot DSC-W80
itās a simple digital camera and very easy to use.
and the outcome photo quality is enough to me.
i have a Canon 5D. i just canāt settle for a SLR without full frame. i mostly use it with a 50mm prime lens.
i kinda like what sony is doing with the minolta line. i used to be a minolta guy during the film days.
Iām using a D40 with the sb600 and sb800. Itās all I need right now.
Iāve just recently invested in the Nikon D40 with the 18-55mm zoom, and apart from the remote control sensor being on the front and having a seemingly very narrow scope, I love it. Itās easy to use, lightweight and produces great results. Much, much better than what I got out of my previous three digital (non-SLR) cameras.
I have been using Nikon Coolpix P1 for sometime and looking for another one from Canon.
Canon PowerShot A620
Itās my first digital camera and I really like it.
I have a Canon EOS XT that I use with all my accessories including a 580EX II stobe for my planned photographic sessions and then I use a Canan S5 IS for a quick point and shoot. I love the S5! For the price, its hard to beat.
I have a Fuji S9500 atm, which is a bridge camera between straight p&s and SLR. Not a bad camera, but I do find the quality a little grainy on close up.
Very Nice
I have a 400d, 10-20mm Sigma, 50mm, 70-300mm
