What camera do I use?
I use the Canon EOS 20D, its a digital SLR. It usually costs about $1,200-1,500 from what I've seen, got mine from BuyDig.com with an 18-55mm lense and a number of accessories (including a bag, a 3 piece lense cleaning kit, some other stuff , and most importantly a 1 gigabyte memory card) for $1,500. This camera is kind of pricey but for the results it gives and the features it has I would say its DEFINITELY worth the price especially if you're serious about photography as a hobby or even as a profession. I'm no photography expert (yet) but I think this camera is amazing and it seems very fast for a digital camera (then again for $1500 it better be amazing, hehe).
I used to have a 1.3 megapixel Fuji camera, that thing was awful and going from that to Canon's EOS2D DSLR was like going from driving a barely functioning Yugo to driving a brand new Ferrari.
