    At the moment Ive got a fujifilm finepix and im looking at getting a replacement.

    What do you guys use and how do you find them? Any recommendations would be great!

    Cheers

    I have an EOS 400D Love it to bits, going to change it for the first Canon with GPS geolocation though! Either the replacement for the 550 if it has it, or the 7D if it does.

    It also pays to have a good memory card, depending on what you want to use the camera for.

              I've got a Canon 5D Mark II. I looked at all the Canons in the various price ranges and decided to step up to full frame. I also have 3 "L" lenses and just love them.

                I have Nikon D50 ( looking to upgrade to D200 ..), son's have D70s and D90.... Easy to use and pretty robust too.

                You tend to find people are Canon or Nikon DSLR wise, dunno why, maybe just what your brought up on.Prob both have their pro's/con's but then again swapping makes could be a bit expensive...

                  fujifilm s5 pro - perfect wedding and portrait camera (often the second shooter for my fathers wedding photography business)
                  leica m8.2 - perfect for everything, including wedding shots (its like you invisable) and 99% ive got it with me "just in case"

                    just realised you said SLR, so I suppose the Leica doesnt count.. but would still choose it over pretty much anything else, apart from maybe an M9

                      I had a Canon film SLR with several lenses, which meant it made sense to go with Canon for my DSLR. I always tell people to go Canon or Nikon - I can't really split them, it's just a case of picking one and running with it.

                      Currently packing a 20D, which is getting on a bit now, but still puts a lot of newer consumer digitals to shame.

                        Currently using D300 with a D70 on back up duties, plus it's handy to have two bodies to run two different lenses without having to change them in the field.

                          My other half is currently using a Nikon D50 she picked up second hand for v.reasonable money.

                          There's nothing wrong with it bar it's only 6mp but she now wants a Nikon D7000.

                          As stated, it's between Nikon and Canon really.

                              Digital SLR's are not were it's at now , the new EVIL cameras are what people are getting into now.
                              I have an Panasonic GF1 ,its an EVIL and is great .

                              In case you didn't know EVIL stands for Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens.
