What equipment do you have and / or use most?

What camera and equipment do you use most?

And if you haven't got a shed load, perhaps list the gear you have?

I dare say if I asked some semi-professionals what equipment they had in total, we'd be here all day?

Well I'm a Canon man myself
I have 2 bodies and about 5 lenses.I've only had the 2nd Body for about a month Canon 70d, very impressive camera, but not had much chance to get out with it yet. It is a lot more advanced than my 1st body which is a level entry Canon 1100d.

I have a canon but it's not a DSLR. You can't change the lenses. I'll think it has a C in the name but don't quote me. I'll try to find it in a bit. Good camera.

One thing I don't like about it though is the lack of 'point and shoot' to instantly get a shot. It seems to spend a second or two focusing and sorting its self out (which is probably a good thing?) and I've missed good shots because of it.

A friend has a Nikon I think it is, that shoots instantly and nothing is every blurry. He showed me it when I was moaning about mine.

Got a Polaroid CTU-00831B for which I’ve lost the manual for. It used to take some cracking pictures until I inadvertently changed some settings on it and now all pictures come out over or under exposed. So most of the time the camera on the phone is used, which is not the best. We take loads of before and after pictures at work, in case of disputes. Most of them get stored on the server and then forgotten about. Once every few years Miss Moneypenny has a bit of a clearout and deletes them and then it starts all over again. I’m looking forward to asking some exceptionally stupid questions about picture taking. It’s like a mystical art to me.

elderly canon 10D, 3 canon eos film bodies, canon AE1P, couple of compact digis, ensign selfix (3.5"x.2.5" negs) 4 zenits, 2 fuji bridge digi. cameras, and a few ancient things from 40's and 50's.

[telectrix]

CANON Powershot G9 is my camera of choice, I've had SLR's, long lenses, lens brushes/cloths, flash guns, tripods etc, etc, but 15 years ago I bought a CANON Powershot G3 and loved it. 3 years ago I bent a pin on the CF card connector and it was silly bucks to repair it. So I got my G9 fanbloomin tastic.
Son has inherited the Minolta/Sony kit and I haven't missed it more than a couple of times in all these years. God bless digital photography.

When the Polaroid is working properly it can take some very good pictures of beer.

 

[JulianC]

Couple of Canon DSLR bodies (450D & 50D) and a few lenses, none of which have been used for a couple of years since I ditched the bulk and weight in favour of the micro 4:3 system. Now use exclusively a battered Panasonic GF1 and 3 lenses. SLR quality in the size of a compact. Will get round to selling the Canon stuff one day I suppose.

Oh, and I occasionally take out my Kodak No. 2 Cartridge Hawk-Eye Model B (circa 1930 box brownie), loaded with a roll of Ilford FP4 120 film. Kickin' it old skool. Results aren't too bad considering:

i need to get some tips off a relative of mine she is very good better than her professional photographer partner

Same as JulianC, I'm also on micro four thirds (GF1 + 20mm and 45mm). I also have an old Minolta X9 (pretty much the same as an X300, except it also has a DoF preview whereby you can manually close down the blades on the chosen aperture - goes darker, but you can see the effect - I love this feature), with a 50mm, takes gorgeous black and white images, not used it for a few years though. Most of the pictures I take these days are of my kid, so will struggle to find summat to post here!

 

[Simlec]

My current model is the Nikon D610 and I use primes with 50mm my fav at the moment. (I have a D3200 with very little use for sale). I went for the 610 over the 810 as I felt the 810 was to big & heavy for walking about with. There is also a Panasonic LUMIX in one of my kit bags.

Hopping to start doing more street photography.

I'm another Canon user, had my 6D for a while now & love it. I also have several lenses of which I use my 17-40 wide angle the most as I mainly shoot landscapes. Also with me at all times is my remote trigger & tripod as well as filters.

 

[Besoeker]

A Canon EOS1200EOS with a couple of lenses, an old Minolta 700 with several lenses and a Fuji Fujipix. Had reasonable results with all of them.
