Hey everyone, I'm curious what kind of cameras everyone is using. I love taking pictures of my torts, I always use my iPhone. Some of you guys have great cameras, especially Greg and JD. What's everyone using?

I have a Kodak Easy Share Digital Camera. Its pretty easy to work and takes good pictures. In my case, though, its ME that doesn't take good pictures. Can't blame it on the camera.
Mainly my phone. But I use a nikon D-100 digital SLR for the good photos. As well as the good ol fashion canon AE-1 film camera.
I have some cheap Vivitar camera that I bought at staples on black friday for like 40-50 bucks. It's not the best.
I prefer Canon for point and shooters. I have used a whole bunch of them for my business, but Canon always takes the best pics. Sony would be a close second.
Hand me down from my youngest son, Canon SD10, It will do a lot more than what I know how to make it do, I like it because it is so small,I also have his old phone which takes great pics but I haven't mastered that part yet either.
I've some Pentax film SLRs and a small fortune in lenses, but am looking into a Pentax DSLR that I can use my lenses with. Possibly the K2000 or K-x.
Also, I sometimes use my daughter's Nikon Cool-pix, which is actually a pretty good digital camera for such a modest price.

I have about 12 cameras but these days I'm shooting with my Nikon D90 or my iPhone since its in my hand more sadly.
Agreed, I've taken a lot of images with a cool-pix back in the day and loved how small and inexpensive it was! Now my daughter wants it!

Recently upgraded from Canon 50D to 7D; have a whole host of lenses (mostly use 100mm macro, 300mm tele, 10-22 mm, 17-40mm). I love the rapid fire of 7D (8fps) when I photograph birds in flight (not so necessary for the tortoises, obviously 
). Also slowly getting to know the HD video capabilities of the 7D, but still prefer to use my small camcorder.

I can't wait to slap my Pentax 100mm macro lense onto a K-mount DSLR...that's pretty much my go-to lense...good for almost everything, other than long telephoto shots!
I've been thinking that a 17-50mm short zoom, my macro and a 300-500mm long telephoto is all I really need...and it'd certainly lighten up my camera bag, carrying just three lenses!
I use my camera phone (HTC Rezound) which takes better pictures than the digital camera I paid much more money for years ago.
The phone's camera is an 8 megapixel with a duel LED flash. Its great for closeups and dimly lit areas (such as burrows), but horroble for zooming in on faraway objects.

Nikon D3100
I recently bought a Nikon d3000 from a friend. It came with a 18-55mm lens and I just ordered a 55-200mm. I eventually want to buy a 1:1 macro lens so I can do some extreme macro photography. Until I can afford that I have a reverse mount ring coming in. So excited!
