    Curious about what everyone is using for a digital these days. Seems like the larger size SLR Digitals are becoming popular again..

    I have a Casio Exilim EX-Z1000. Its really nice especially for the price and its size. I'm looking for a bit more advanced camera though.

    Olympus C8080........8.0 megs, video, does virtually everything under the sun and has the capability to interchange lenses like a regular SLR, etc. It's full size.....but I prefer that to the mini cameras which are out there.

    I've had it for exactly 2 years now and couldn't be happier.....I really wanted the Nikon equivalent but it was 35% more expensive so I passed. 6 months later, piles of Nikons were sitting unsold on the shelves and they dropped the prices.

    Nikon Coolpix S6 for taking pictures while I'm out.
    Nikon D200 for going out to take pictures.

    Just a run of the mill Samsung {works very well} and a Cannon Sure Shot, again very well in its workings.

    Sony Cybershot P93. Not a bad camera for what it is. I'd much rather have a model with a bigger/better lense, but this works great, and it's cheap enough that if I screw it up hiking, it's not a big deal.

    Nikon D70s & D2Hs with a D200 to be added in the next few months. Lenses are mosty primes from a 10.5mm fisheye to the 300mm f2.8 AF-S I, but then again, this is a bit more than a hobby for me.

    I read an interesting report recently that recommended waiting a few months if you're thinking about buying a digital camera. Last year Americans bought around 35 million digital cameras, and because there's no way sales can repeat, there should be a lot of price reductions later this year.

    Personally, I wouldn't put much stock in that. Electronics have a finite shelf life and prices are always dropping. I don't see much crystal ball credibility in that prediction! :)

    I recently bought a Canon Digital Rebel XTi with 28-135mm lens. After 30 years (!) with my old FTb blunderbuss, I'm still learning about the considerably greater number of options the new camera provides. So far, though, the "point-and-shoot" mode has been doing quite well! Now, all I have to do it to hook up my new computer so that I can upload my images.

    Mike-

    Try checking out the 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6. It's my ultimate "walk-around" lens. You'd love it. Also, the 70-200mm f/2.8 has been magnificent, but I kinda bent over backwards shelling out the $ for it. It also dworfs my D200, so I tripod/monopod is very necessary because of all that weight. How has that 85mm been going? I might have to check one of those out!

    Keep up the good work

    -John

    Nikon D50 + Nikkor 18-70 F3.5-4.5 DX lens and Nikkor 70-200 F2.8 lens. I think I will add a used D200 or D80 body in a year or two. Want the faster focussing and depth of field preview.

    The 70-200 VR is one of the best Nikon teles ever made. As a less expensive alternative that's equally as sharp, look for the out of production 80-200mm f2.8 af-s.

    Both the f1.4 and f1.8 versions of the 85mm are fantasic lenses. You can pick up a used f1.8 version for about 30% of what a new f1.4 is. If you don't need the extra stop its also a great alternative.

    I bought a Canon Rebel XT with the 18-55 lens a couple of weeks ago. I bought the 70-300 lens this past week. I've had a few digital cameras before, but just the cheap ones because I have a lot of 35mm camera stuff that I use. I finally bought a good digital camera and love it. I really wish I could have used the lenses from my old cameras.
