Tell us about your camera and how you use it. What’s the one thing you like the most about your camera? Are you using a cameraphone? They are great for shooting when you come across an unexpected spectacular moment. Some of the excellent moments have been captured on cameraphones. Or are you using a DSLR?
If you are still making up your mind to buy one, you can check out the quick buying guide here. Tell us what you’d like to know more about your camera. We are coming up with some great posts for the camera owners so have your say before we start.
We have been covering a lot of basic and technical topics on the photography front in the last one month. We’d like to know you better and collect your suggestions. We want to make sure we know you and your camera so that the information is relevant, is usable and valuable. So what are you waiting for? Come on say something :)
I own two DSLR’s. My primary is a Canon 5D and backup a 40D. It is not so much the bodies, but the lenses. A 24-105L is mounted to the 5D almost always. Once in a while a 50mm 1.4 gets used, but the zoom is a very versatile tool. On the 40D there is a 100-400L mounted 95%. It is better suited for telephoto use.
I use both cameras for a variety of shooting. Everything from landscape and nature to motorsports and candid. I like the way the 5D’s full frame sensor handles wide angle shots, while the 40D’s faster continuous shooting and more advanced features make for better action shooting.
Matt: Thanks for the comment. I’m planning to buy a 50mm lens too. It’s a pretty fast lens and turns the DSLR into almost a point-and-shoot camera (if you can tolerate the bulk of a DSLR). Also an aperture of 1.4 gives a lot of flexibility to shutter-speed which is almost always a priority.
