I have a Canon
EOS Elan, with a 50mm f/1.4 prime, a 35-105mm f/4.5-5.6 zoom, and a 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 zoom. I get
the most use out of the 35-105, and wish I could afford Canon's faster version. I haul it all around in
a small LowePro bag, which I like very much. I have a Slik U212 tripod, but find I don't use it much. My subjects tend to move around too much too fast. |
Overall, I am very satisfied with my gear. However the on-camera flash causes terrible red-eye problems,
particularly when shooting at a significant distance, regardless of Canon's claims to the contrary. I shoot Fuji's consumer 800 film exclusively, as I prefer its color reproduction over Kodak's and I need the speed combined with tight grain. My next equipment purchase will likely be a serious flash unit. I rented a SunPak handle-mount flash for a day to shoot my sister-in-law's wedding, and really loved it. The results were great and it was easy to handle and use. |
| My wife and my mother chipped in to buy me a Fujifilm MX-1200 1.3 MegaPixel digital camera in 2003. It is the digital equivalent of a "point and shoot", and is ideal as a low-end introduction to digital photography. It produces 1280x1024 images of high quality, but the internal flash has very limited range and there is no shoe for an external flash, no USB interface, and no zoom lens. | That said, it is relatively inexpensive and very small -- much more practical for taking along on a family visit to a zoo or amusement park than lugging my Canon and lenses around. It fits nicely in a "fanny pack" with room to spare. I bought a 32M SmartMedia card to replace the 8M card that came with it, and can now shoot about 40 pictures in its highest quality mode before having to delete anything. |

| I received one of these portable USB devices for my birthday. It transfers images from SmartMedia (and 5 other kinds of) cards to a PC about 40 times faster than the camera's serial interface. It makes a huge difference, and I highly recommend it. | I also received one of these cases. This has loops to run a belt through and works really well. It protects the camera and looks a lot better than the alternatives. It also has the advantage of being very inexpensive. | Memory for more pictures is always welcome. This is the 32M version that holds about 40 high-quality images for my camera. | Memory for more pictures is always welcome. This is the 64M version that holds about 80 high-quality images for my camera. |
