Which equipment/brand do you use?

well megapixels dont make or break a camera. and the more megapixels you cram into a sensor, the more noise you can have.

This is where the processor and other technologies come in to aid in noise reduction, and color accuracy. The MP do make a difference, especially when in comes to catching detail, and cropping. Fairly important for macro photographers. Otherwise, there'd be no need for the jump in size of MP as the camera's advance.

Wow, that about says it all doesn't it!

I've got a Canon and so does the rest of my family!

I guess I am the odd man out. I bought the Olympus E-510. So far happy with it and for the price you can't beat it. I have compared it in person with the Rebel xti and the Nikon d40x and it is on par.

The only trouble I have had so far is shooting in RAW. I had to update my Photoshop to the newest Camera Raw version. That was kind of annoying but oh well.

I have a Canon 30D as my main camera. Also have a modified 20D that has the IR filter removed to improved red response for my astrophotography. This camera also serves as a backup camera (with out the IR filter, I do need a custom white balance, but nothing major)

Lenses included Canon: 24mm f/2.8; 50mm f/1.8; 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM version; and 70-200mm f/4L

For now

Also have a canon Elan7ne Film body that hardly gets used anymore and loaded with a half roll of Fuji Provia 400 Slidefilm that still needs shot up after 2 years

A 430 speed light, the TC-80N3 timer control and a bunch of other stuff

well my camera brand wasn't even listed but I use a kodak easyshare Z1275. I think Ive used Kodak brand for as long as I can remember. that being said, once I figured out the macro and manual settings on my camera ( only took me 6 months ) I surprise myself with how good some of my close up shots are.

Canon 40D and a Canon 350D(AKA XT). For a carry around point and shoot I have the Canon SD1000

[Clementine_3]

I use a Canon Rebel XT (digital), Canon Elan 7e (film) and sometimes my Canon Rebel (film). I think the Elan 7e is the best of the bunch but use my Rebel XT the most, it's digital after all
I use Canon lenses; 75-300mm (4-5.6), 100mm (2.8) macro and 28-105mm (3.5-4.5).
I so wish they would make digital eye control but I'm sure I wouldn't be able to afford it if they do!

my slr is an olympus OM-1, all manual, no electronics on it except for the light meter. i love it so much!

and my point and shoot coincidentaly is also an olympus- the stylus 1010. it's a great camera- 10 mp and 8x zoom. definately worth every cent.

olympus isn't necessarily the brand people flock to, but they have real quality stuff for a generally good price.

Got a Nikon D60 today.

Not to much of a review avail yet! but I will spend most of my time playing with it so i can give you guys what i think....

I only have the 18 - 55 camera lens right now. I will most likely be buying a new lens after I do some research. I am going to be using it mainly for photographing snakes but i will be using it for family events and just plain old fun.
