I think it'd be interesting to compare and contrast what cameras we're all using on our expeditions. I use the following:

Sony CyberShot DSC-W100 (8.1 MP, standard point-and-click camera)

JVC Everio GZ-MG130U 30GB Hybrid HDD camcorder (for my video expeditions)

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi (12.1 MP D-SLR) with:

- Canon EFS 18-55mm lens with image stabilization
- Canon EFS 55-250mm zoom lens with image stabilization

I'll be getting a Tamron AF 19-35mm F/3.5-4.5 wide-angle lens sometime in the near future. First priority was buying a 1TB Seagate external drive to back up all my photos :lol:

My dog ate my Kodak Easyshare (that reminds me...I have some pics on there of an abandoned motel) so now I'm using an older Canon digital.
Now you can tear a building down, but you can't erase a memory
These houses may look all run down, but they have a value you can't see

Man, your Kodak Easyshare looks much like mine did. Your Sony scares me though. Too many moving parts. :D

Oh, jeez.

*faints*

No way could I ever figure out how to use that!

Looks like it would take the awesomist pics though.

I agree about the tripod thing. Ideally, I'd like the tripod that Motts over at opacity.us uses, a Bogen/Manfrotto 3001 Series. Those are a tad pricey, though.

As far as tripods, you don't have to spend alot of cash for a good one. I bought mine at an auction, only a couple years old and works fine. Another good thing to have is a remote for the camera!


I got a Fuji Fine Pix 700S had it for years works great for me it was a great investment.

Must be all that exploring in the nut houses.

See you on the inside but you will not see me.

I had to grab my camera just to remember exactly what it is. Fuji FinePix E900. Its pretty snazzy, but I'd like to step up to a Nikon D-something or other.

If your gonna look at Nikons, check out the D-80, it is amazing, 10.2 mp and it will take great pics in the dead of night.

I use an old Canon digital, it is awesome.

Go to garage sales and see. One man's trash is another man's treasure.
