    What type of camera do you all use?

    I know many will suggest getting a Canon Rebel, Nikon or Sony DSLR's...But could some of you that have already made the investment give me some suggestions? I'm leaning to Canon, but don't want to just make a decision because that's what many suggest and it tends to cost a bit more than the others..

    Thank you in advance for your help...

    I've been using canon 5D and a couple of lenses for 3 years. No complaint whatsoever

    I think you can't go wrong with either Canon or Nikon

    Did you get any specific model of the Canon Rebel? I've been looking at the XS, maybe the XSi...

    Re: What type of camera do you all use?

    D700 by nikon I also have a d50 and a fuji s5,3,2 for snakes a used s3 is a great one (the best colour of all) d50 isn't horrible the 700 is awesome but it is quite pricey. The d90 and d5000 are also quite nice. It really depends on the pocket book. Before you buy READ the manual. It will give you a better understanding of what it will do and then when you go to hold the ons you like you can then make a more informed decision. When you price the camera and are thinking of shooting snakes price out a true macro (1:1 reproduction ratio) over a kit lens. I hope that helps. I don't use Canon they make great gear too but tend to change things model to model (battery my d700 d50 s5 all will use the same one.)

    I use a Nikon D40x but you really can't go wrong with any Nikon or Canon DSLR.
