Robbo Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 well for me I have very basic stuff as im not really into photography but like to get once in a life time pics. SONY VIDEO CAMERA (DVD DISK) Model: DCR-DVD608E & Cannon Olympus U740 7.5 megapixel point and shoot.
Nick Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Brand: Nikon Model: D40X Lense: 18-55mm Accessories: 2GB SD card When i try to blur out the background on a moving object i usually shoot PASM mode S with shutterspeed set around 160-250 or i just shoot on automode. This is a pic on auto mode (taken throught glass)
Guest Chainsaw Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Great thread guys :) I use a humble: Brand: Panasonic Model: DMC-FZ30 Lens: 35-420mm Leica accessories: Akubra Hat Mode: Program, but try to use as much depth of field as possible. I just use jpg's for the output. The camera is very versatile but has a degree of noise or grain. The quality on macro shots is not in the same league as a DSLR with a good lens. Plane shots don't usually require a macro shot thankfully! It's light and doesn't have dust problems on the inside. I bought it not just for planes, but as an all rounder. I'm most happy with it. I believe it is better to capture the moment rather than fuss with lots of settings (I still do that sometimes when the mood takes me). I do try with composition of each shot though. I try to visualise how it will end up, then I take the shot with that in mind. Previously, I had a Pentax KM which I bought new in 1975. Great great camera. Chainy

VHKDK Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 I use the Canon EOS 350D EFS 18-55 mm lens EF 75-300mm lens 2 spare Power Mart DCN003Z batteries SanDisk Extreme III 1GB Lexar Media 1GB PQ1 2GB First Champion 8GB Sony DCR-SR42 HDD Handycam 2 FH70 Batteries(Unbranded but work very well) I have brought the spare batteries from e-batteries.com.au at a fraction of the price of the Canon/Sony ones. I have had no problems with the batteries and the service from e-batteries is very good. All the CF cards have been problem free also. The missus uses the video camera at shows and occasionally at the airport and is now very happy that we have the battery capacity to use the camera most of the day. Mostly use the DSLR on auto as I don't want to miss "that" shot. I did have some problems with the 75-300mm lens but at the 2nd attempt Canon found the fault and repaired it under warranty via Harvey Norman Mildura. Very frustrating though to be without the camera for 2 two week spells especially as the last time was when the comet was visible 2 years ago. By the time the camera was fixex the comet was just a dot!
Wombat Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 another update! I have...

cavalier Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 My first digital camera was a Kodak Easyshare C340 5.0 Megapixal 3x optical zoom then that was followed by a Olympus FE-240 7.1 Megapixel 5 x optical zoom which I still use on the odd occasion because it slips into the shirt pocket & then on I mainly use is a Nikon Coolpix P80 10.1 megapixel 18x wide angleoptical zoom which I mainly use on Auto but have on the odd occasion tried a couple of the other settings.I normally like to just aim at the subject and take the photo
Wombat Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Update... I traded in.. Nikon D200 with MB-D200 I got Nikon D300s with MB-D10 yay!!
Robbo Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 I am not much for still photography but with my video production hobby and interests expanding by day I decided to buy something decent and I now own the Sony HDW650F HD Camera. It is well worth its PRICE, the hard part is trying to work it !!!!
