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
Canon EOS 40D - oldie but goodie, hobby, landscape, events and some portraiture
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.
I picked up one of those Mavicas in a car boot sale years ago, its remarkable how far things have come.
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.
Fujifilm X100F, cat pictures. ‘Street’, and holiday snaps.
Sony A7C because I use it for travel and especially video.
Favorite subject right now is my 19 months old :D
A7C paired with a Sigma 28-70 and occasional Voigtlander 40mm f1.2 makes for beautiful family photography.
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.
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.
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.
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.
-
Semi-broken nikon d3400 that I turned into an infrared camera
-
Cheap thermal printing camera that I just got. Abysmal quality but very fun
-
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.
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.
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.
- 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
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.

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.
