Currently I possess 3 :

Sony HX350 Bridge Camera - My first ever camera!

Nikon EM Series 1979 - Passed down from my uncle who was clearing some bits and bobs out his garage.

Nikon D5600 DSLR - I didn't want to break the bank and got this one on a good sale (And I like the Nikon UI for the camera more than the Sony one)

I enjoy taking two types of photographs :

Portraits of people outdoors and indoors - SoSometimes for a new profile picture.

Animals - I enjoy taking photographs birds, squirrels, zoo animals and my cat whenever he's in a good striking pose.

What about you? Are you into photography as a hobby or profession?

I use an Olympus OM-1 Mark Ii, mostly for bird photos. It's easily the best birding camera I've owned

The crappy one in my Motorola g84, and anything fairly close with good lighting.

I do have a second generation Sony Mavica though - one that takes floppy disks.

[-] Daeraxa@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

I picked up one of those Mavicas in a car boot sale years ago, its remarkable how far things have come.

Canon EOS 40D - oldie but goodie, hobby, landscape, events and some portraiture

Don't really have a normal camera. I have a GoPro Hero 4 (ancient, I know) which I take with me swimming. Once you get used to it, underwater photos look amazing. I want to get a actual camera too but worry I'll keep regretting not carrying it with me places. So potato phone camera it is.

  • Semi-broken nikon d3400 that I turned into an infrared camera

  • Cheap thermal printing camera that I just got. Abysmal quality but very fun

Sony A7C because I use it for travel and especially video.

Favorite subject right now is my 19 months old :D

[-] NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

A7C paired with a Sigma 28-70 and occasional Voigtlander 40mm f1.2 makes for beautiful family photography.

[-] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 2 points 2 months ago

I have the Sony 35mm 1.8 and the Sony 70-200mm 4 which I really like as a combination too. Especially the 35mm for vloging with the flip out screen and street photography.

[-] Daeraxa@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

A Nikon D3200 I've had for year I like using for nice landscape pictures and portraits but I used to use it as just my 'everything' camera - a role now taken by my phone.

Sony Cybershot DSC-W12. This was my first digital camera and used to go absolutely everywhere with me. These days it still gets used but purely as an underwater camera for scuba diving as I have an underwater case for it.

[-] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Olympus E-M1 and I’ve basically just keep my 40-150 2.8 on it. I like to catch wildlife but it’s just useful to have since the range is not easily achievable by cell phones yet.

[-] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago

Similar to me! OM-1 MkII here, and unless I'm going out specifically to go birding, I'll just leave the 12-100 on it.

[-] ODuffer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Fujifilm X100F, cat pictures. 'Street', and holiday snaps.

[-] Soapbox1858@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

My main digital system is a Canon M6 MKII.

But I am a camera collector, so I have somewhere around 200 film & digital cameras. (I am behind on updating my inventory app, so I don't know the exact current number.)

I am an opportunistic photographer who takes photos of anything that catches my eye. But I do a lot of macro nature work, and general abstract photography.

sony a7siii.

I'm a pro videographer. my favorite subject is wildlife.

the a7siii still blows me away with its lowlight performance. i can shoot with my big 150-500 for almost an hour before sunrise and after sunset.

  • Canon EOS 6D Mark II: my main camera for studio, on-location and travel photography
  • Canon EOS 760D (Rebel T6s): my old main camera, now backup when I need more than one
  • Canon EOS M200: for 4k video, clean HDMI output and day trips when I don't want to pack heavy equipment but still want a nice lens
  • iPhone 12 Mini: any time I don't have a proper camera with me. With an app that shoots raw images, this is still really good.

I do a lot of stuff from proper "artsy" studio photography to disco photography to travel stuff, mostly as a hobby. My favorite quirky thing is to include fox plushies in my photos: https://social.helios42.de/@dfyx/111765301186111247

iPhone

And usually just take pictures of things at work as a note taking method.

[-] thr0w4w4y2@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

I have a Hasselblad 500 and I like to fill the whole frame with interesting architecture at odd angles. 1920s and 30s art deco is especially good to photograph.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 2 months ago

I have an old Canon Rebel XTi. I've done a lot of wedding/engagment/'we some cute pics of our family for cards' photos for friends. Never professionally but I like helping people out and they've been happy with my work so that's nice. I also like taking pictures of my pets and the animals that come out of the woods behind my home.

[-] CommissarVulpin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

My first camera was a Voigtländer Vito 2, don’t know the exact age but it’s from the 1950s. My grandmother gave it to me when I expressed interest in film photography, she said she hadn’t touched it in decades so I might as well have it. As soon as I put a roll through it and got the photos back, I was hooked. Even though most of the pictures were underexposed, I knew I wanted to keep shooting film.

After talking to my uncle about this, he rooted around in his closet and gave me my second camera: a Pentax K1000. Super chunky and heavy compared to the Voigtländer, so I felt more confident taking it with me places without breaking it.

I just picked up a third, a Nikon FE along with some telephoto lenses. I haven’t put a roll through it yet, but I’m excited to try.
