All I have is a pos Sony Cyber-shot 6.0..Considering it is held together with tape it does alright by me....

Kodak DX4530
I can't even remember when I bought it. Think about six years ago on ebay. Takes video and holds SD card. Works for all I need. It's 5 mp.

DSLR's are still the way to go if you want to take sharp pics with less noise. Photoshop is also a must IMHO, and I'm a Nikon guy. Bad thing about posting pics on a forum is the fact you have to re size and reduce the quality of the pic before you can upload them.

Sony takes a good close up as does that kodak. Even more important than the camera is lighting. What did you use for a light source on that cylinder shot pine?

Andyshine77, What model Nikon is that... Nikon 361 or Nikon 372xp? I'm sold.

It is a shame with the downsizing but a great pic can still be viewed.

Sorry for redoing the picture, but that's one thing I miss is decent macro.

(great shot Andy)

Nikon MS362 lol. Honestly it's the older Nikon D50, but it still takes nice pictures. The lenses and large sensors on dslr's make a world of difference.

A film camera will work also, just have the images digitized when the film is processed.

Taken with this...

Yeah don't they.
I've been putting up with the crappy Fuji since I got rid of my Canon roll film SLR and lenses etc.

Just having the ability to do macro would be nice.

She is impressed with the Nikon ms362 (d50)

WOW! Did a quick search. Out of my price range, fantastic pic though. Is the d3000 good bang for the buck?

Yes!! Check out this site. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/

The new generation entry level DSLRs are a great bang for the buck. In many ways they are more capable than my D2Xs, Nikon's flagship camera 4 years ago. The newer cameras have much better low-light performance. .

I know most people are here for conversation and information. That being said, a picture is worth a 1000 words and video can be even better (if done well).
I myself enjoy the reading and love the pics. Some pics that have been posted are less than desirable picture quality. Would like to hear what you guys are using and recommend for photo/video equipment. Most people do not have big budgets for this kind of thing so lets hear it for all price ranges.

Not really a chainsaw subject but I believe a thread like this could contribute to the overall quality of posts. I shoot with a Kadak easy share Z1012 IS. Good camera for the money, with the exception of shutter lag. Here is a couple pics for the forum.

mweba, I see we are using basically the same camera. Mine is a Kodak Z1015 IS. I think the zoom is the only difference I believe. I usually just use the basic settings, and usually only use it on the 8.9mp (3:2) supposedly its suppose to print 4x6 photos better instead of the 10mp (4:3) setting.
I still have a lot to learn about it..

Gregg,

Gregg,

I will have to try 8.9. I have not changed many setting from factory. Wish I had more time to experiment. Great camera for the money and class its in.
Nice 4000 by the way.

I have a little Nikon so I can carry it in my pocket. . I wish I got to work in clearcuts. That would make photographing logging a lot easier.

This is my office.....Actually, the two above are also.
