What camera do you use?

What camera(s) do you use?

I'm looking for a new one and have my eyes on the Nikon Coolpix S8100 - a compact with serious macro and video - but I need to hear some cameras that you snake people use.

I mean, I can't get $800 camera but list it anyway!!

Re: What camera do you use?

i have a nikkon d- something... not sure, my wife has it at the wedding we have to go to... it takes ok pictures, i dont really know how to use it though, it was only $175...

for 90% of my pictures, i use my cell phone (droid incredible, 8MP camera ) works nice, and uploads them automatically to photobucket.

Re: What camera do you use?

I have a Canon Digital Rebel XTi EOS. It comes with a 18-55mm lens, but you can buy tons of lenses for it. I think it's about $400 and I love it. I got an additional macro lens, Ultrasonic 180mm lens which is fantastic for reptile pics. I haven't taken any photos yet with it bc I'm at college and I left the camera at home (typical me). But I'm bringing it back from home next week so hopefully I'll get some good shots! It's very user friendly (I'm not a professional photographer, so I needed a camera that would do all the work for me)

Another Canon Digital Rebel here. I got it about 10 years ago. Still works great.

I have been considering the new Rebels with Video, but don't have the extra cash at the moment.

Re: What camera do you use?

I have used the Nikon S8100 in stores and have read a lot... It seems pretty darn good with macro and video for a compact digital...

I currently have a Olympus FE-20 I love it but macro and video is not it's strong points -- which is what I need.

Re: What camera do you use?

I have a Fujifilm finepix s2950, It has good macro but tbh it's not very good. My mom has a Nikon D40 or something and it's really good. If you're looking for a cheap DSLR it's good.
