What camera do you use?

I'm in the market for a new camera. My sony cybershot is a little old and I could use something with better speeds. I dont want to wait so long inbetween clicking the picture take button and the actual pic being taken. And I'd like something with good low light abilities.

Any recomendations?

What do you use?

I'm a Canon fan, have 4 of their cameras from point and shoot to SLR to camcorder and love them.

The camera I use most is the Powershot SD900 Elph. 10 megapixels, some neat features, and it takes good video as well. If you're into SLRs, the Rebel series is great too.

Fuji Finepix f10 6MP

Kodak EasyShare Z1015 IS. I love it.

Canon Rebel XTi... and i LOVE IT!

Kodak Easyshare Z1275. great camera with great options. now that I've finally figured out a few of the features I love this camera :D

I use Canon 5D.

Canon Rebel XT, I like it. :)

Nikon D40. It's the best bang for your buck on an entry level DSLR camera. The Kit lens is just awesome.

Digital Rebel XT

I will absolutely never go back to a point and shoot. EVER. :D

Kodak sure shot. 12 megapixels.. digital

Do what I do, just draw your pictures. ;)

canon rebel xt, :cool:

Kodak easy share DX6490 - nothing fancy, but does the job!

Nikon D40, Nikon DX 55-200mm lens with hood.

I have a Canon Rebel XT and my wife uses a Nikon D50 (both DSLRs). Both take great pics but I think the Canon's auto-focus system is much better, and I prefer the menu system on the Canon as well. The downside is that the older Canon's use compact flash memory cards, which are more expensive by density and harder to find than SD cards that most body's use now (including the newer Canon's). The kit lenses they come with are decent but not great. You can get very good shots with them but not as consistently as with a higher quality lens. Sigma makes some great, affordable lenses for most major SLR mounts, that are comparable to the OEM lenses in quality. Whatever you chose, I would recommend an entry level DSLR if you are serious about taking quality photos of animals. Most (but not all) point and shoot digital cameras are pretty slow to focus, which makes for difficult shooting on animals that do not always want to cooperate and sit still. An external flash is also a good buy. Lighting is the most important factor in good photos, and the most often overlooked! Here's a couple samples of similar looking animals. Keep in mind the quality has been reduced to post them and that they were taken on different days with different lighting etc, but you get the idea.

Note: I recently saw the older Rebel XT kit at walmart for well under $500. This is a steal at less than half of the original price.
