Title: What kind of camera do you use?
Post by: PonySeeker128 on March 14, 2012, 06:18:42 PM

I see all these really awesome beautiful pictures of ponies and am wondering what kind of camera you guys use to photograph with? Any tips for getting really nice clean and bright photos??

I use a Canon PowerShot ELPH 300HS. Its a pretty basic point and shoot from what I've been told, but it leaves me in complete and total awe. The flash is very nice and I don't have to go outside to take good photos! Its amazing! My old camera was like six years old and out of date for the time it was bought. xD

Canon Ixus 95 IS
I love it. it's great for a compact camera :)
I do want a more professional camera some day, but this definitely works.

Most of my old photos are with my Nikon D60 but my newer stuff is either my Nikon D5100 or my iPhone.  I also have Nikon CoolPix but I don't remember which model... I LOVE how the photos come out with that though.  Great little, inexpensive camera.

Canon Powershot A470. The canon powershots are the best imo for their cheap price. The macro can pick up the hairs on a spider's leg. The only downfall to mine is no manual flash controls.

my camera is sooooo old (6.3 megapixles) but it was state of the art professional SLR when i bought it. I think it was like $1500 at Best Buy (with no lens)

I REALLY need an upgrade but the only thing i photograph anymore are ponies so i just cant justify it ha!

I use an Olympus E-PL1. It's a compact system camera and I loooove it! I'm no great photographer by any means, but when photographing toys I try to get as much natural light as I can, use a tripod 'cause my hands shake, and use the macro setting to catch all the little details. You can get nice pics with just about any old camera as long as you use the right settings and the right lighting.

A camera doesn't make a photo good, a good phtograher does. ;p

I use a tiny Agfa cheapy thing. But at college I'm used to working with a canon 7D for filming and photography. I can happily use both and get a photo I'm pleased with either way :)

I have a Nikon CoolPix L22 (12.0 Megapixels.)  :)

What's kind of funny is that, after I got my camera, my older sister bought the same exact one in the same color - and we just found out that my aunt who lives in another state has the same exact camera.  So I guess it's pretty popular.  :)
