Nikon D-80

i have used a variety of cameras in the past. Contax, Canon, Mamiya,Yashica,and Bronica in a variety of formats (35mm-medium 2 1/4)but my first Nikon was the F90 which i took into some pretty horrendous situations and came home with the images. the lenses (35-70mm/f2.8 & 80-200mm/f2.8)i had purchased i treated better then my family and was pleased to find out they were entirely compatible with my new D-80 10 years later. i purchased on additional lense(12-24mm/f4) and now my camera bag essentially complete. sad thing is that my trusty manfrotto tripod appears to be on its last legs and i will have to give it up after replacing so much on it. nikon has consistently been there for me and given me confidence in my photography over the years more then any other brand. i recently returned the above mentioned 35-70mm lense and nikon immediantly repaired a broken aperture pin and it came back with new warranty. so when i swing that camera up to my eye, view something of interest and click the shutter, i find myself looking forward to examining the effort on the digital screen and often i keep it. but i can always delete it if the whim takes me. personally i believe that photography is nothing to do with brands but your own skills that will take you as far as you want. to want to excell at photography is about the expression of your mind's eye. it is NOT about the best camera. but if you want to know you have one of the best camera's in your hand available, then i whole heartedly endorse Nikon. simply great cameras.

That's exactly what I used to teach my students! 
So your SLR lenses now fit your DSLR? I had heard they would, but then someone told me there was a problem. They fit, but don't function as well. I think it had to do with the sync with the flash--can't remember exactly.

I have the Konica Minolta A200 and am very happy with it.
Olympus E5S and Kodak V610
by Kurt Sanger - 11/25/07 3:56 PM In reply to: What brand of digital camera do you own? by Lee Koo (ADMIN)
I love them both. Got the Olympus E5S 8MP Digital SLR last year. I had forgotten how much phone it is to shoot pictures. This Digital SLR lets me blur the background, capture in low light, and change the white point. Also picked up a monopod for it and it helps steady the shot.
Last year I bought the Kodak V610 6MP with dual lenses and up to 10x optical zoom. Best of all it fits in my pocket and the display is awesome. Kodak has some new ones that shoot HD video and drive HD. But the V610 lenses don't stick out of the camera body.
I do work for Kodak. The Olympus uses our 8 MP sensor. And the new cameras with faster video, new filters requiring less light, and digital antishake, probably mean I'll need a new camera soon.
I love my Sony

I have the Sony Cyber Shot 1.3MP that bought nearly 6 years ago with the birth of my nephew and I still love it. It's big and bulky compared to the latest models but it takes great pictures.
Sony DCR-TRV11

I bought this Sony DV and built in Memory stick camera/camcorder back in 2000 and it still outperforms my newer cameras and my freinds cameras also,
Remote comtrol and it communicates with my sony laptop instantly without going into control panels and making it recognize anything like on my home computer. And everyone always says how much better my pics and video are still compared to almost everyone I know, (And I know a lot of people and family. But learn the controls and settings of your camera and different invironments and you can get good quality pics and video under the proper controls and settings
So pics and digitation to all on "Memory Stick Lane" i4gtsht@hotmail
I have two Canon Elphs and a Nikon D70...
by Keldawwg - 11/26/07 7:55 AM In reply to: What brand of digital camera do you own? by Lee Koo (ADMIN)
The Canon Elph is a great little point and shoot that I take with me everywhere... I have an S300 and an S500, they are both great little camera's. If I need to take serious pictures rather than just snapshots, I rely on the Nikon D70 for the really important stuff. The D70 came with an 18~70mm zoom that is usually on the camera, great lens for most things. I also have a 70~300 that I keep in the bag for when I am going to a football game or my kid's soccer games, for example. Got a lot of great pic's with it.
Sony actually makes a decent little point and shoot now... Ever since they figured out that the reason their camera's didn't take as good a picture as a Canon or Nikon P&S was the lens quality... When they started putting Zeiss lenses on their P&S camera's, I started to recommend them to friends... (Megapixels just are completely overated, in most cases... I have taken thousands of beautiful picture with the S300, and it's just 2.1MP.) Most of the pictures we have around the house were actually taken with that camera... You would be amazed at how good a 2.1MP camera can look when printed out at 5 X 8...
The Nikon D70 is "only" 6 megapixels, and the pictures it takes are awesome... When I want to get a good picture of my kid wakeboarding, the P&S camera's just fall down because of the shutter lag... The D70 always gets the perfect shot!
What brand of digital camera do you own?

I own a Canon but only the body. The body is a Rebel XTi. However, to be ready for a good clear shot from 18 to 250 mm I chose a Tamron Di II adjustable telephoto lens. What is sad, is the fact that this system is superior to the Canon and its own lens but can barely match the Fuji 6000 point and shoot camera. We are talking about a $1500 pro DSLR system in comparison to a camera that costs $350. And what is worse, the Fuji at 6.1 mgpixel is just about as sharp as my 10 mgpixel system when enlarging pics to 80x60 inches. Think before you by a camera...and remember that a camera and its shots are only as good as the photographer, the flash, and the antishake mode built into the system.

I love it! I haven't begun to take advantage of all the features/settings. Even with just default settings I have taken some great pictures.
Vivitar 3345
by Dave Dinmore - 11/26/07 3:27 PM In reply to: What brand of digital camera do you own? by Lee Koo (ADMIN)
It is good, has a timer and is a webcam too, but it seems that I have to take the batteries out or they will run out. It is supposed to turn off automatically, but it doesn't. I am wondering if I am doing something wrong.
My first digital.

I'm a dinosaur. B&W film that comes on a spool? Cool. I could have bought film for my daughter's wedding, but I used it as an occasion to upgrade. An Olympus FE-230, which was described as a beginner's camera. It takes good pictures, judging from the screen on the back. I haven't tried to get them out of the camera yet. It's a dinosaur thing. I'll figure it out.
Canon G9
by logcabiny - 11/27/07 7:03 PM In reply to: What brand of digital camera do you own? by Lee Koo (ADMIN)
I have really enjoyed the G9 since I bought one about two weeks ago. Lots of good stuff still to explore.
