What type of Camera do you have?

[Sepecat]

I think most people here have Digital Cameras or Film Camera? So what type of Camera do you have? What brand is it, and how is that camera?

I do not own a camera, but Nicole did buy a Canon EOS Rebel XS N 35mm SLR Camera.

I've posted some pictures that were taken with this camera when we went on a trip to Six Flags and Sesame Place.

The pictures are in the Members Photography Forum.

Back to question, what type of Camera do you have?

I dont have one atm as my old Fuji (Digital) gave up the ghost and my wife lost our old but very reliable Olympus Mju Zoom (Analog).

I may get a Minolta Dimage Z1 for X-Mas.

It only has 3.2 Megapixel but a 10x optical zoom.

My other option would be the Olympus Mju 400D as it is quite small and made from metal not cheapo plastic.

Hey Fez, what is the price of those two Cameras?

The Minolta Dimage Z1 here is $399.99

They are both about 350€, which is about 430$

Both come with just 16 MB memory, so I would need to add ~50-100€ for a 128 or better 256 MB memory card.

I have an Olympus C3000 Zoom.

Very happy with the overall build quality and feature set, however I purchased the camera to photograph my metal art and have had some problems with a "fisheye" effect at close ranges (see attatched pic).

I've heard that it is possible to mod the lens, though I've never found any definitive info on how this is done.

If it were not for the lens problem I would have been very pleased with this camera, while it has taken some stunning landscape photos, it has been a bit of a frustration when I try to photograph my work.

[edit] should have mentioned that the pic attatched was taken at very low res...

20+ year old Olympus OM2,, i love the old thing, been serviced twice over the years,, and it's still spot on,,, although i don't use it much these days.. Now i mainly use my Sony digicam thingie,,, only 1.5 megapix,, but it's good enough for general shots,,

I have the following:

- Canon EOS film camera (SLR type)
- Sony MiniDV Handycam DCR TRV22

I like the Canon very much, it's a very good camera. The only thing that is difficult perhaps is shooting photos for panorama/VR types of scenes, since you can't just check and see if it works right, like with a digital camera, you have to wait until it's developed.

But I use a special tripod for that sort of stuff, that was adapted from something used for surveying land. It has very accurate measurements marked out on it, and allows for very precise levelling.

Providing that you've levelled it properly, just take the photos at 15° or 30° intervals, and it will work fine, every time. I also deal with one specific photo lab, whose owner I trust, and he knows exactly what he is doing, with respect to the stuff I'm doing. I can get photos developed there for specific stuff, and I know they will be right.

The Sony does good video quality, but mediocre photos. It uses Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro media, and MiniDV cassettes.
