I was just wondering what you guys use for general photography .
Please post the camera model and details over here ! 

I am currently using a Nikon D3100 DSLR Camera
Its effective MP is 14.2
Stock 18-55 VR kit lens

Regards ,
Sahevaan

I would also like to know which cameras do you guys use for video recording your flights?

I use a Nikon D80 with 3 different lenses.

- Nikkor 50mm prime lens
- Tamron 28mm - 80mm lens
- Tamron 75mm - 300mm lens

I was planning on getting Nikkor 50mm f1.6 soon too. How is your prime ?

Ha ha!! Aeromodeling has become a 'Saut' for my photography. My gear would sound pretty dated with a new Camera body coming every year:

Canon 20D Body
.Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 SP XR Di LD
.Sigma 400mm f/5.6 HSM APO Macro (poor man's Tele)
.Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Macro (Sturdier Non-Di one)
.Canon EF 50mm f/1.8
. Amnova Carbon Fiber Tripod AT CF885 with Pan and Ball head
.Cullmann Magnesit 35 Nm Ballhead
. LowePro Minitrkker AV / Tamrac Expedition 3
. RS-80N3 Shutter Release Cable for 20D
. Seagull Right Angle Finder
. B+W CPL, Hoya UV/Warming , Tiffin ND Filters
. Cokin P-Series holder with HiTech Grad ND Filter (.9/.6x)

Few of my clicks could found at (found that Flickr Pro account expired. sounds too costly at $24 now!!)

Thanks Sahevaan... it was when I considered Photography as a costly hobby.
BTW Nikkor 50mm f/1.6 !! As far as I remember they had f/1.8 and f/1.4 in 50mm range ! 1.6 sounds a bit odd. Its Better to go for f/1.8 as it is time proven lens... and if budget permits, f/1.4

Ujjwana - I had a look at your photos - Wow !

+1 . Absolutely stunning!!

I use a Sony DCR SX-63E. A pretty basic model but zoom is very good and the picture quality is also acceptable. Now, though HD cams have become very economical.

The 5889 vid in my youtube channel has been shot with the same.

My bad , It was the Nikkor 55mm f/1.2 lens or the 50mm f/1.2 lens ! Pretty expensive !

(I doubt they are still made but finding for a second hand one wont be that hard)
Though instead of buying that lens I got a gasser Now I've started collecting again for the lens !

Oh! I love this lens. One of my favourite. I get awesome depth of field.

This is just a awesome lens.

And BTW mine is a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8

Cheap and good, rather I would say best.

The Nikkor 50mm f/1.2 is the fastest lens available ! Its supposed to have amazing picture clarity and a very shallow DOF on max aperture . Do you have some pictures you took with that lens with max and min aperture ?

Canon 590IS and
Nikon Coolpix L23
Sony TRV275

Just a beginner......

Nikon D3100
Nikkor 18-55mm
Nikkor 55-300mm
Hoya UV filters
Kenko TelePlus 2.0x
Nissin i866 Mark-II Professional
Simpex 2.4Ghz Flash/camera trigger
Tripod

@ANTA - How is the AF of the 55-300 ? Is it fast enough to catch action ?

No, it's a slow lens. For fast lens, check this http://www.nikon.co.in/en_IN/product_details.page?DCRPath=templatedata/en_IN/saleable_product_information/data/NikkorLenses/FXFormat/Zoom/TelephotoZoom/AF-SVRZoom-Nikkor70-300mmf4.5-5.6GIFED.xml&CategoryID=gp11zkyu&currentTab=gp11zkz5&currentLink=gp11zkzb

Usually I'm using it for capturing close-up pics of my family members...... As you can also try, taking pics of somebody at night from a distance of about 10~12 meters using zoom and built-in flash gives you a nice image (There are many otherways normally photographers do....). About the review :- As you may know, I'm just a beginner and it is my first DSLR and lenses; so still learning......
