    Film is ok, but I choose digital. Especially while traveling since I don't have time to wait for developing while I am out. Plus I like to edit and adjust my own photos instead of trusting some lab to do what I want.

    I have a Nikon D200 for normal use and a D40 for travel. Both use the same lenses. I normally (for travel) bring an 18-55mm Nikon ED and a 55-200 ED lense. Some times I bring the fisheyes if I am going to an urban area. Cities look cool like that.

    You can easily find a D40 kit with the lenses I mentioned. They are so versatile that Nikon started packaging many of their DSLRs with them.

    I have a Nikon F100 with a multitude of lenses. It's been in the bag ever since I got my little Nikon 5600.

    If it weren't for the fact that I'd take a huge butt-kicking, I'd trade the F100 off and get a D3X... after it's a few years old of course.:biggrin_25525:

    I use a Nikon D80. I have multiple lenses, but for everyday stuff I use an 18-200VR.

    I prefer Nikon, because the old lens fit on all my new cameras. I don't have big lens anymore, stolen! But I manage. :)

    I have an old Nikon FM10 (to replace my stolen K1000), and a Canon EOS Rebel.
    Yeah, they're pretty entry-level, but my money tends to go elsewhere.
    My wife is hinting that I may be getting a Rebel XSi this Christmas... and I'm really looking forward to that.
    It'll be able to share lenses with my old Rebel, though the effective focal length is a bit different (by 1.6x).

    I really want a 50mm 1.4 lens for it.
    For low light street photography.
