emacs

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

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.

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

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

...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.

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

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

[noeltheone.livejournal.com]

Vim.

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
