I've seen a lot of impressive photo taking skills in this forum so lets see what you guys and gals use to take pics.
As for me my lousy Nikon digicam takes worse close up pic than my Nokia phone

I sometimes use my gf's nikon D50. I just point and shoot with auto-focus. For every good picture, there are 5 bad ones.

And sometimes its just luck the pictures turns out good. Not much skills actually...

Wow everyone is using DSLR....i have been holding back for years now delaying buying one just because i so rarely use it.
Chiewata mentioned about the Olympus Pen series and i am quite tempted.

chrisyen · « **Reply #6 on:** July 02, 2010, 07:04:27 AM »

If u not use to carry a big heavy gear n still want good image quality then
then Olympus pen, panasonic gf1 n the Sony xxx... Suits u! Lens changeable, just bit slower!

Or get a sigma dp series... No need to change lens but image as gd as dslr but slower

or get something like semi pro PAnasonic lx3, ricoh xxx, leica xxx...

Aren't the Leica lower range digicams made by Panasonic?

takashi78 · « **Reply #8 on:** July 02, 2010, 07:41:01 AM »

Sorry i am clueless when it comes to camera's but i didnt know Sigma makes cameras.
I thought that brand is lens? or is that just similar name?

Yes, take the Pana LX3, identical with Leica Deluxe 4, with half the price!

Chris, 30mm will need to MF on D40 right?

chrisyen · « **Reply #11 on:** July 02, 2010, 02:43:26 PM »

Sigma dp series camera is special... If it is working faster I'll sure I
buy one!

Leica lower range is share same Case n lens with panasonic but at higher spec/ better chip so it is faster n better

nikon d40 + sigma 30mm f1.4 hsm is auto focus... Hsm is build in motor for sigma.

Finally another fellow Canon DSLR user. I use the Canon EOS 550D when I need the higher resolution and finer controls.
For more casual shots I use the Canon S90. The quality is surprisingly good for a point + shoot. Took the following watch pic with the S90 recently and was very pleased with the decent results:

duniajam · « **Reply #19 on:** July 04, 2010, 04:29:08 PM »

Mine is an old one.... Nikon Coolpix L4 4MP.

Need a good light source to take a good picture. Otherwise the pic will be blur. So hard to take a nice picture in a room.

takashi78 · « **Reply #20 on:** July 04, 2010, 06:47:10 PM »

Haha i am using the Nikon L6.
Lousy in taking macro pics.

duniajam · « **Reply #21 on:** July 04, 2010, 07:35:25 PM »

Me too. Need to hold my breath when taking any picture. Hahaha...

chrisyen · « **Reply #22 on:** July 04, 2010, 07:41:09 PM »

I am a Canon dSLR user. I have Canon 1D MkIV, 5D MkII, 30D, a bunch of L lenses (17-40L, 24-105L, 70-200L, 85L, 35L, 135L, 100-400L). I must say that if the photographs are lousy, I can't blame my equipment
