Which digital camera do you have?

I've been using the 10D for about a year. Really a fabulous camera. Recently I've been using the 1D Mark II. It's a different realm.

I put my 10D on the block here several weeks ago. But, with no bites, I pulled it and have decided to keep it as a second body. It's smaller, lighter size (w/o battery grip) and its 1.6 crop factor will make it ideal for relatively casual walk-around work and for use with my longer lens.

I bought a Canon A-70 15 months ago. I took 9000 pictures with it. I love that thing. I had a Nikon EM as a young Marine in Beirut, I cherish the pictures that I have with it. I had no idea what I was doing but managed to get some good shots. I remember trying to read about shutter speed, iso and F-stop while rounds were landing in the Airport. I would love to get a Canon Digital rebel and do the firmware crack that gives it a menu like the 10D. I will get one soon. I just perchased a Canon Optura 300 from buydig.com. I read about all of the video cams online. It is only because of the reviews that I read on this site that I decided on that video camera. It cost $705.00 with 3 day shipping. I am building a new Athlon64 XP51 machine this month. I will have a blast processing the video from the camera with it. It is not a 3ccd camera but it fits right in size, video quality and price for this family.

I've had a Nikon D70 with kit lens for about 2 months. Have added 2 lenses so far but am lusting for more. Also have a Panasonic 2mp that has a 12x zoom (could not pass it up for $230!) and my wife has one of the Canon 2mp Elphs. Started with the Oly 2040 (it broke in the first week). upgraded to the 3040. Followed by Minolta 5mp D7, Nikon cp5000 (great wideangle) and a Sony 717.

Thats 8 digital cameras I've owned in about 3.5 years. Might seem like a lot to some (or most) people... but I have learned a ton about photography that I never would have with my SLR film cameras- instant feedback has been the key for me.
