Default Photography fans... what camera do you use?

Just got myself a new one the other day, a real cracker too.. Nikon D2x
12.4 MP and a stupidly fast frame rate! I just need to buy some bigger memory cards now as the file sizes are so huge!

So now my trusty D1x is relegated to backup duties alongside my F5



What does everyone else use?

Canon EOS 20D, although I want to upgrade to a 1D Mark IIN as it does 8fps instead of my 5.

Is it really worth the extra cost for just that?
I rarely get snap happy so fps doesn't really bother me.... just a nice bonus.

Yeah, I can see a fast drive being very handy in that situation.

I bought a Canon Rebel XTi whilst in the US (I think it's a 400 over here)

Fantastic camera for what I want it for. I was used to a Canon EOS 888 (35mm), but its ace taking pics, then deleting if it turned out cr@p!

Bought a nice new lens too (17mm - 80mm), with IS - EXCELLENT BUY if you are needing to upgrade from the standard 18-55mm.

I bought the body only as I already had 2 lenses for the 888, but after trying them out, I never reliesed that the digital SLR's reduce the width of the view by 1.6 (For the Canon that is).

Another excellent buy is a tripod. Sounds silly, but for all the weight of them and they allow you to take great indoor shots, without the blurryness, as well as night shots, when your taking long exposures.

Cheers!

Not got the rig shot on this machine, but just click on the Saff here to see the full mag layouts (including that pic) and more from the shoot:
