emacs

[khedron.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

[lilbjorn.livejournal.com]

TECO

[docorion.livejournal.com]

Aw, now I can't like you anymore. Yes, I am so old enough to have used, and learned to hate with the passion of One Hundred Thousand Burning Suns, the evil abomination which was TECO, thanksawfully.

[docorion.livejournal.com]

Also? emacs.

Is this about what we own now, or what we lust after? ;-)

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

Oh, I hadn't thought of that angle :-) It's about what you own now (or, say, what you are realistically aiming for, if you aren't yet a shutterbug).

[moominmolly.livejournal.com]

FYI, I read "slutterbug".

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

That's a post for the other filter.

[keyne.livejournal.com]

It's about what you own now

Oh, I thought it was about how often we got laid. Never mind.

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

Just because you get laid more than me doesn't mean you have to brag about it! :-)

[chaiya.livejournal.com]

But I get laid more than you! Why wouldn't I brag about it? ;)

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

Why am I suddenly filled with a sense of impending doom?

[chaiya.livejournal.com]

Mine is an evil laugh ... ?

Canon, but I had to look at the camera and check. I got it for the primary features of 'cheap but not too cheap' and 'uses SD media which my new MacBookPro has a slot for'.

/me is not a photo geek, though I do appreciate the results of a well pointed good light bucket.

[antoniseb.livejournal.com]

I own a Kodak, recommend Canon, and would love a Red One.

[fj.livejournal.com]

I only own a RED ONE metaphorically, with that option. Otherwise Leica

Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You took a photograph of my father. Prepare top have your camera broken. :-}

(In the terms of your poll I hover somewhere between agnostic and atheist. Except, dude, emacs.)

And that is why you are on the side of the angels!

[numignost.livejournal.com]

ivi:q!

[dr-memory.livejournal.com]

Me? Canon, but not religiously; mostly just because I know several pro/semi-pro photographers who shoot Canon, so I wanted the ability to borrow their lenses. :)

You? Canon or Nikon; really whichever feels better in your hand and offers the best local opportunities for lens-borrowing. At the consumer/prosumer level, there's really not any hands-down advantage to one over the other that you're ever going to notice. They both make awesome gear.

...of course, the µ4/3rds cameras (like the olympus E-Pen) are really sexy. Not sure if I'm willing to give up an actual viewfinder though.

[lilbjorn.livejournal.com]

Not surprisingly, I've gone both ways. My video camera is a Canon and my SLR is Nikon. Still not sure if I made the right choice on the SLR, though.

[mangosteen]

I will note for the record that I do not actually want a RED ONE. I merely want to play with someone else's RED ONE.

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

I merely want to play with someone else's RED ONE.

You think you know a person, and then they say something like this.

[mangosteen]

It just had to be the right one. ;)

[sarahshevett.livejournal.com]

I would have also clicked Leica if I could have...

[ceo]

Nikon, but a large part of that was that I already had a nice lens for my Nikon film SLR, so I could save a few bucks by getting a Nikon DSLR body that worked with it.

And, of course, emacs.

[dancingwolfgrrl.livejournal.com]

...but if you want an upscale point-and-shoot, you should totally buy a Canon. I'm having a little bit of a crush on the whole Powershot thing.

[annburlingham.livejournal.com]

A person can't choose to be bicameral and choose Nikon *and* Pentax? Feh, I say, sir, feh!

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

IF THE BIBLE DOESN'T SAY YOU CAN DO THAT THEN IT'S NOT OKAY

[fengshui.livejournal.com]

What's the goal of this survey? Just for kicks, or something else?

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

Just curiosity. It seems like most of the people I know have gone Canon and I wanted to reality check that.

[noeltheone.livejournal.com]

Vim.

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

Someone's always gotta be different.

[noeltheone.livejournal.com]

Hey, I resemble that remark!

I used to be an emacs person until vim came out and made vi tolerable. Now, sad to say, I prefer it.

(I even got the t-shirt that was the reverse of this one (http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/files/www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/nodes/2949/58458077_02de6d4790_o.jpg).)

Two households, both alike in dignity/ In SLR land, where we lay our scene...

[cruiser.livejournal.com]

OK, so I read the "what you use now" after I answered, and I'm too lazy to go back and change my answer.

What I use now: Sony, for both still and video

What I used to use, and may still have lying around somewhere: Kodak, Bell & Howell, Minolta, various others

What I used to use, and wish I still had (except for the impending lack of film): Polaroid
