I was just lucky... I wanted a new Calcium Reactor for christmas and instead my wife grabbed a canon rebel XT with a few lenses. I really can't complain other than I still need a new calcium reactor

I have an old sony cybershot i user for my pics that you see i post here on TRT the camera is about 7 years old maybe older. I would like to get a nice camera one day soon but i know i cant afford one. I also take a lot of pics with my cell phone just because i am out and well you see something funny. Good example is the picture attached was taken with my cell phone. Saw this while driving to school one day. I use a webcam to broadcast a live feed of my tanks from time to time i used to have it up constant but the computer that would host that cam on my network near that tank no longer works at this moment.

And well other yes there is always an other heheeh.

Ummm....let's see. I have a Nikon D70 DSLR with 6 lenses; Olympus C-5050Z; Olympus C-7000Z; Olympus C-2100UZ; Olympus C-3000Z; and yes, a camera in my cell phone.

Some of my gear for a morning's wildlife and nature expedition to the Smoky Mountains:



Since that photo was taken, I upgraded the tripod and telephoto lens.



My newest camera is almost three years old (Except for the camera phone which was free) and much of my gear was bought either factory refurbished, used, or on closeout. Unless you're a pro, you don't need the latest & greatest superwhizbang stuff to enjoy photography.

I got a Canon XTi just a few weeks ago and have yet to put it down

I have been taking mostly concert/ band shots, but have a # of my tank. Most of the tank pics are in my tank specs thread.

LOL! I do get out 'a little bit'. My D70 has over 40,000 clicks on the shutter in 3 years. Here's a collection of 4196 photos from the past 5 years with different cameras. http://www.pbase.com/richardr
