Camera stuffs

[Kurzix]

Just wondering what kind of gear you guys are using to take your pics with. And if you are using film, what kind?

I have a Pentax PZ-1P SLR, and I like Kodak Royal Gold film, I was advised that Kodak Portra VC is quite good. If anyone uses a film and really like the results please let me know so I can give it a shot!

I use digital Camera:
Canon Powershot A20 2.1 megapixel resolution up to 1600x1200
Has 3x optical zoom and up to 7.5x zoom with the digital zoom.

I really like it. It has an option for close ups... :)

I'm getting the Minolta S404 a 4.0 megapixel and decided based on reviews and comparisons from Zdnet. The decider for me was the 4 inch focus for macro shots.

go with a Nikon. You can't go wrong. The macro shots are amazing.

Yup, for good herp pics you need a close up feature. A digital will need a macro mode and a special lens is required for a film camera.

I use a digital camera (almost always)...it's a Hewlett Packard 318 (I think that's the model #)...it's not as good as most everyone else's digicam, but it gets the job done and it was a gift, so I didn't have to shell out a whack of dough for it. It has a macro mode, which I'm just starting to get the hang of, and 2X digital zoom.

I want the Fuji Fine pix 2600 they are really nice comparable to the Canon power shot

I'm using a Canon Powershot A40. Don't know the features are....lol.......all I know is it has a timer, takes videos, records sound, and even I can take good pics with it :p I havent a clue about all this technology so it's gotta be super user-friendly :D

Sony Cybersh*t p-50 I think.. 1.3 megapixel lots of nice features I actually like it alot but If I had a choice again this would not be the beast I would buy.
You've seen the pics I've made in haste. Not to shabby.

I use a Canon EOS 650 and an old Pentax SP 1000. For film I use Fuji Sensia slide film and Fuji Superia print film. I can't see moving over to digital for many years, I prefer to have all my images on slide or print, and am also waiting till digital hits 16 mega pixels (the equivelant of slide).

HP 215 digital... only 1.3 megapixel - but hey... that's what photoshop is for... {G}

I use an Olympus C3030 Zoom digital, 3.1 mpix. It's not the best for macro, only 8", but it does a great job for what I need.

And if needed, I use PhotoImpact as my photo editor. The results are good enough for everyday.

I took this photo of a panther cham thorugh glass (you can still see some water spots, but can't help that, sorry). Monkeyed around with PhotoImpact, and I got my 2001 Christmas e-Card :)
