Its a Kodak and I don't know where in the SLR range, it qualifies so I just entered entry level, it cost about 200US$ when i bought it.

I've got a couple of old digital cameras..... nothing fancy, or in comparison to you guys, even "nice", but they work and were free. Nikon E-950 and a Sony Mavica MVC-FD81. I don't do much photography but if I need to take a photo to post in the forum they get the job done I guess.

Canon 350D w/ Canon 50mm f/1.4 USM.

**MIG-31** · Nov 15, 2009, 05:25 PM

Im not into high level photography... I just like a decent camera that takes a decent picture..Just by Point & clicking.

I recently bought a Panasonic Lumix DMC-Fs62 10.1 mp..This is good enough for my use..

**kris23** · Nov 15, 2009, 06:09 PM

there are a few point and shoot cameras around here...... no SLRs though.....

Dark Lord · Nov 15, 2009, 06:09 PM

pretty old by todays standards, but its a fuji s3000. it works for what little i need it for.

Where's Falstaff and his plethora of cameras? :P

RoyBatty · Nov 15, 2009, 07:36 PM

Fuji S100fs, I almost don't leave home without it.

It doesn't fit in any other category, voted for an ordinary camera. I also have a F40fd pocket camera.

Yip that dude can take photos I still cant make heads or tails of all my setting yet and the auto-setting sucks, its good for some scenarios but sucks in others

ooh I want that lens!

Used to have the same camera body until it failed, now I'm using and EOS 450D w/ Battery Grip, EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS/USM lens, and a friend's Speedlite 580EX flashgun (while my 430EX II is away for repair)

easyfun123 · Nov 16, 2009, 03:56 AM

I am using this Kodak M1033 10.0MP Digital Camera , super cheap, hehe!

Cow_160483 · Nov 16, 2009, 04:58 AM

Something simple I use a samsung NV3 and it gets the job done so no complaints

I actually want to get rid of it for something smaller, As most of the pictures I take are really up close. Likely will pick up a 28mm f/1.8 USM in the near future.

I must say the bokeh w/ f/1.4 looks pretty awesome though.

ET3D · Nov 16, 2009, 07:08 AM

I thought pocket was the ordinary digital camera.

Never used SLR, but I did have a somewhat big camera with 10x zoom. I moved to pocket when I realised I really wanted to take my camera everywhere. That was before cell phone cameras. They are now IMO reasonable for just taking a picture of something when you need to. They certainly have a long way to go yet, but I no longer feel the need to have a real camera with me.

I have a Canon SD880 IS. It's mostly used to take pictures of my daughter nowadays. It got good reviews with good image quality scores and good features. It's good enough for me for now.

No, an 'ordinary' digital is an almost SLR sized camera with a fixed lens. They are normally priced slightly less than an entry level SLR.

**temeteus82** · Nov 16, 2009, 10:43 AM

Cannon EOS 450D

procupine14 · Nov 16, 2009, 02:17 PM

just an old nikon camera. Not much of a picture taker myself so I don't use it past basic vacation photos and pictures for the forums.

My parents have a really nice one that I picked out for them. Its an "ordinary camera" range Sony with a 15x optical zoom which isn't bad. They really love it and I knew that they wouldn't be able to deal with an SLR so I just settled with getting them that.

OldBuzzard · Nov 16, 2009, 04:07 PM

Ordinary pocket camera...I guess.

It's nothing fancy, a Kodak z720. Pretty good in it's day I suppose, and more settings/options than I ever would use. I'm a "Point & Click kinda guy"

LeanWolf · Nov 17, 2009, 10:49 PM

my 350d's getting old and i'm feeling it's limitations now; although it was great to learn from. was looking at the 50d, but the new 7d is very tempting indeed..

BWX · Nov 18, 2009, 11:31 AM

Canon SD800 IS Digital ELPH (IXUS 850 IS)

Canon SD800 IS Digital ELPH Review: 1. Introduction: Digital Photography Review

it's a tiny pocket cam from a couple years ago. true wide angle with optical and digital image stabilization. A great little camera.

Tril · Nov 18, 2009, 09:12 PM

I've got a pocket camera. It's an Olympus FE-320. I chose it for its small size.

slugbug · Nov 18, 2009, 10:23 PM

I have a Canon SD1000 which suits my needs just fine.

cbeasley0 · Nov 19, 2009, 06:17 AM

I'm repping a nikon d40x. I learned photography on the D70 and 100, so it was a great buy with most of the same features I was used to.

iPlayer · Dec 3, 2009, 06:21 AM

I got a Nikon D3 around here, but even mobile phones have digital cameras.

niceguyrichy · Dec 3, 2009, 07:29 AM

i use an 'ordinary' camera, a minolta dimage

one day i'll be able to afford an SLR. one day..

lepel · Dec 3, 2009, 11:57 PM

Nikon P6000. 13,5MP, wide angle, good zoom, good low light pictures, I like it.

~~RE III - Frankie~~ · Dec 18, 2009, 12:22 PM

I use a DIGI cam nearly every single day. At least once a day on my LG KC910 phone.
