What brand of DSLR do you use?

[Kent]

... Canons have lousy metering, ...

??? 😕 Since when?

Nikon for me. FM, F4, F5, FM3a, D80, D3. The D3 sees most use, closely followed by my everyday-bring-about camera, the FM3a.

Assorted Nikkors from 17 to 200mm focal length - some zooms, some primes. I mostly use the primes, significantly lighter to carry and 1-2 stops faster.

 

[RObert Budding]

Fleshtones look like crap with Nikons, Canons have lousy metering, Pentaxes have crummy auto-focus. Everything else is worse.

Use film

Sounds like user error. My Nikon D700 works fine, but that's because I spent time learning how to process NEF files.

Nikon 5100, only a few months old. Light, small, convenient.

Per Nick, the 35/1.8 is a nice thing to put on the camera.

I'll unashamedly fly the Canon & L lenses flag here.

 

[ZivcoPhoto]

A nikon D700....which unfortunately takes a back seat to my Leicas and Rolleis.

Nikon. I'm a pro.

Color means a lot to me....

Color means a lot to me....

So my color camera is an Olympus E400 with the last Kodak Sensor used by Oly (10Mp), and where else can I get a 600mm reach with a high quality 300mm lens.

Other, my S5 Pro, again because of the color rendition and the extended dynamic range that Fuji has come up with for this camera.

Rarely shoot B&W and never with these two cameras. We don't live in a B&W world in case you haven't noticed.

Color is a superficial thing.

D50, still going strong.

The good thing about Canon is that its lens mount allows me to use any lens from any maker from any era that I want via adapters. I don't own any Canon glass anymore.

Except for all of those FD lenses that I own. For those you need an adapter with a crappy piece of glass that sits behind the rear element. No thanks. I'll shoot those with film.

 

[Mark A. Fisher]

D100 converted to IR, D200, and D700.

I still prefer film, but digital is here to stay, from what I've read. It's been in all the papers...

 

[Morry Katz]

I have 5 cameras - all use film. I don't have a digital camera. Don't need a digital camera. Don't want a digital camera.

 

[emraphoto]

Nikon. I'm a pro.

Sony. Just cut off my fro.

 

[rizraz]

For me it should be more of what DSLR do I own........ haven't been using my DSLR since early this year..... digital is just not fun anymore....

 

[heliographer]

Not if you have a D200 with a Fuji sensor in it. It even has "film" in the name; Fujifilm S5 Pro. 😉

+1. The s3 and s5 rock. I wish Fuji would make an S6.

Started with a Canon D30, the 3 megapixel one(not the 30D) then a 10D, now a 1D mk trois, it's a beast but I like it.

 

[agfa100]

Went with a Sigma SD9 since there was no Leica Digital at the time, then a SD-14. Now finally a Ricoh GXR w/ M module so I can use all my M lenses again yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
M8 and M9 are way out of my price range at this time.

 

[jwnash1]

I own a Pentax K10D because I use a Pentax MX and have several lens for it. When I first got it I used it almost exclusively. However, I have hardly touched it in the past year, opting primarily for my Canon 7 and P and occasionally my MX.

 

[celluloidprop]

Sold my D700, currently X100 only.

I miss the quality of the D700 and good glass, but I can't remember ever being excited to haul it out on its big BlackRapid strap or wander around with six pounds of D700/24-70 for an afternoon.
