I've got a Canon XTi dSLR that I'm very happy with.
  And a Sony DSC - W80 point and shoot that takes great pictures too.  In September I'll be going to Japan with my Canon instead of the Sony. Hopefully I'll get some cool shots to share. |
Wow those pictures are amazing!

DSi count as a camera?
I've never really had a camera beside the DSi and a recorder. |
3 x SONY DSC-T1. Purchased my first upon release in Japan. Have served me very well on my travels and beyond.

I just bought one of these a couple days ago, actually:
 I got it because it can shoot good videos as well as take alright pics (to see my vid work, check my sig). I wanted to take quality (yet they don't have to be pro) pics of my wife and self to remember the good times, and also have a camera that can make small vids adequate for You Tube. This little thingy can take good pics at high res, and also make a 15 minute HD vid! Splendid; Muay Thai fights rarely go longer than 15 minutes! The price of the camera was 10,000 THB (maybe $330 AUD). I recommend it for a quality home use camera. |
Here's a pic of some of my junk shot on Polaroid film using my Wista 4x5. At the moment I have a Nikon D70s, a Nikon D300, a Canon F1, a Canon A1, a Canon FTb, a Canon AE1, an Olympus OM4Ti, an Olympus M1, a Nikon FE, a Nikon F3P. I can't recall exactly how many lenses I have, but looking around my room I see around 10 or so, there are more in the closet and in my assorted bags.
