My first SLR was a Konica, film of course and I actually wore the shutter out after 100,000+ shots. I really loved that camera. I replaced it with a Canon AE-1 because of the "program" mode and kept it until recently where I sold it on B&H (this year).

I've had other digitals too but no DSLR's until my coveted 20D which is a great camera (if I can just learn how to get sharp photos:confused:)

I truly love my 20D and think it's awesome and much better at taking photos than I am.

My favorite easily is the Canon 20D.


Canon EOS 5D Mark II, 100-400IS L, 24-105 L[COLOR=black][FONT=&qu​ot] IS, 50mm f/1.4, Canon 430EX/580EX II, Kenko 1.5X, Epson R1900, Manfrotto 679B Monopod, 3021BPRO tripod, 808RC4 Head, 486RC2 Ballhead

I would have to say Nikon. Growing up I have always been intersted in photography and saw that alot of professional photographers were using Nikons. Of course I couldn't afford one so my first film camera was a Pentax. When I finally decided to go for broke and buy my first DSLR, I almost bought a Nikon. My brother talked me out of it and swore that the Canon was the way to go. Am I every so glad he talked me out of the Nikon:)

I still have my Nikon F. Built like a tank, or a Timex ("Takes a licking and keeps on ticking.") Been working since I bought it almost 40 years ago.
My late wife's Minolta (30 years old) still works, too.
I even use some of the Nikon prime lenses with the Rebel.

It would have to be Nikon, or a Hasselblad (dream on).
In the film days I used Nikon and Canon, so I like both. Once I had the chance of shooting with a 6x6 Hassel, and fell in love with it.
BTW...I stll have my Nikkormat FT ( the first reflex I ever owned). It still works, too !!!

Granpaw, how do you fit the Nikon primes to the Canon? I own a 20 D, and have seen there's a converting ring in the market. A bit pricey. Is it worth it?

I don't have any experience with any other brands, but based on reputation, I'd have to pick Nikon.

Why's everyone act like it's a sin to admit they make good cameras? If Canon makes the best cameras (and I'm certain that they do), we should be secure enough in that belief to acknowledge that their closest competitor is a close second.

I'd say linhof, since it makes you really consider your composition and framing.

Or Hassy...

Coming out the lala land, it's a Zenit, Kiev, canonet Zeiss and Yashica.

If there was no Canon I would stop enjoying photography! :D **puts hands out for kiss a$$ of the year award**

Honestly: I love my Minolta for 35, and I will never get rid of my Mamyia for Medium format.
