Some of the pictures I posted were on a Nikon D40 (the lake, berries, and ship) - It's a suprisingly good camera for what magazines labeled an 'entry level' dsl. I still find it pleasent to shoot with.
At the beginning of this month I bought a new camara - I went with the Canon Rebel T2i. I need the ability to shoot some high-quality video through a good set of lenses - there are places where my usual HD cam just doesn't perform well enough. I want to start building up a real kit, and eventually (when I have the money) go full-frame. I chose canon because I think it's a little ahead of the game tech-wise, and I like their lenses.
I also use circular polorizers, ND filters, time-lapse remotes.. etc. I always keep 3x the number of batteries and storage cards on me as I think I'll need - just because you never know. Don't want to be 6 miles out and see that battery light flashing.
I will say tho, I took a class a few months back to refresh myself and hone my skills more and half the class had Nikon, the other had Canon (8 students).
I would agree. Even as I've gotten used to my canon, changing settings on the nikon is just a little faster. Nikon lays out their user interfaces a little cleaner, I think. My rebel has buttons in akward places to reach.
