    D300S
    D70
    Minolta 7Hi
    A few film Canons and 70ish other collectibles. The D300S is my favorite by far.

    d200
    d90
    f100

    love all of them - depends on situations
    f100 - when I have a mood for film :)
    d200 - great camera, I use it all the time, when I know that I'm not going to need iso above 400
    d90 - when I need to use higher iso, or need to reduce the weight of equipment or as a second body with shorter lens

    D40
    D80
    D90
    D200 (I had one for a few weeks and sold it)
    F6006
    Canon A150
    Casio Exilim (several year old model)
    iPhone

    While I'm partial to my Lecia S2 prototype, I find myself shooting most often with my D40. I like it because its tiny, and I'm not afraid of anything bad happening to it. Currently, I've got my sights set on a D700, but I need to round out my lens collection first.

    F2
    D300
    D60

    I use the D300 all the time. It's a beauty and the closest I found to the F2 - The D60 is a backup just in case the D300 packs up during an air show, but it gives amazing pictures once the reds are turned down a bit.

    I just have an iphone and a Mickey Mouse digital camera and that's all I need ;^)

    Willis, putting a Leica logo sticker on your iphone doesn't make it an S2 prototype :^)

    NikoDoby you sounded like Ken Rockwell for a second there!^^ All you need to make great pictures is a the all new 2mp Mickey Mouse phone. Its light and all you will ever need for great photography. haha

    But seriously though, I live in South Korea and there is a great camera district. Therefore, its very easy to trade in gear or upgrade. I have had the D40x, D80, D200, Leica M8 and now currently just the D300. I have a canon power shot pocket camera which replaced my sony pocket camera. Almost never use these though. Lenses are a different story though. Might want to start a lens topic similar to this one.

    I have a D700 and a D300. The D700 is my favorite by a smidgeon. Is that the correct spelling for smidgeon? Oh yes, I do have this Kodak brown box camera. It may be the forunner of the Mickey Mouse camera.

    The mickey mouse camera would win hands down no contest. Its low light ability is unmatched :))

    I don't like to showcase what camera I use for my pictures because I'd like to believe that I had more to do with making the photo than the camera, but I could be wrong. However by popular demand I present to you all my current workhorse, a Mickey Mouse digital SP :^)

    Prototype Camera

    It's actually a 12mp APS-C Nikon COOLPIX prototype cleverly disguised as a mickey mouse camera and is undergoing final testing :^)
    The photo in the background is straight out of the camera. You are certainly right kanuck this camera is amazing in low light. I trust you guys and gals because I know you'll help to keep this a top secret.

    A bit of a bump.

    What cameras do you own? Along with lenses too I guess while we're at it.

    This guy has a pretty cool one.

    http://bandh.tumblr.com/post/9257176467/the-great-camera-collection-gabriel-biderman

    Since I can't find my original post (it's probably somewhere in the neighborhood), I'll post again.

    Nikon FM2- my father's camera. Awesome little camera.
    D40

    105mm 2.8 VR
    35mm 1.8
    18-135
    50mm 1.2 AI-S (?) the lens that came with the FM2

    Nikon Coolpix E3700- supposedly starts off as with a 2.8 lens, but with the shutter lag, you'd never guess it. This was the camera that started it all for me, still works and it has been everywhere with me.

    Some sort of Nikon point and shoot film camera. Not sure what it is, because we have not batteries, I'm not going to care.

    Actually, we have two, but I killed the flash in the older one.

    Other cameras

    Sony T9 with Japanese firmware- my uncle bought it new and cheaper in Hong Kong, but he forgot to check what firmware it was using.

    Mamiya DSX1000 with 55mm 1.4- given to me by my uncle. Has a very distressed leather carry case and has a funky Olympus flash too.

    Canon Elan with a Sigma 28-50 (?) and a Sigma 70-300 (?). No batteries, so I haven't moved it at all. Probably has a bum built in flash, it's been taped over.

    Pentax SP1000 (my first camera)
    Nikon F601s
    Nikon F801
    Nikonos V
    Canon Powershot 950is
    Nikon D200

    My fave is the Powershot. Sorry about that, but I hate my D200 at the moment because I recently took a bunch of shots at ISO1000, thinking it was ISO100.

    Minolta 7000 (first camera, loved it until it was stolen)
    Nikon D200
    Nikon F5
    Nikon D700 (my favorite)
    Nikon D7000 (the pictures are good and use it for the low light ability Vs my D200 on a DX crop, but I can't stand the controls, guess I got used to my D200 too much)

    As weird as it may sound I had the most fun with my Minolta, maybe because I was young then and did not have as many life "factors" as I do today.
