Nikon D7100, mainly for macro with a Tamron 90mm, and twin Nissin 622 flash.
Canon G12 modded to full spectrum, with external infrared filters.
Canon G7 - handy pocket camera, goes everywhere with me.
All 10/10.
I do like photography and would love to invest in a good DSLR, however I am not made of money so my gadget budget mostly goes on computers, phones, consoles and TV's etc. So I do just use my Phone which currently is a HTC M9 (thinking of getting the Note 8 when it comes out!)
Nikon D500, D7100, D3200,Nikon FA, F5, F4, F3, F301, Nikon FM3A, Olympus OM-10 and canon ae-1.

and there was me thinking *I* was greedy :)
I have various 35mm compacts, SLRs and digital cameras gathering dust but the camera I've been using for the past 5 years is my trusty Panasonic Lumix TZ 30. It ticks lots of boxes for me and does the job just fine.
Nikon D5300 with a standard kit lens, along with my iPhone 7.
Cannon 1300d and Galaxy S7 for when you need a quick snap.

Oh, how do I rate it? Gawd knows - it's already too much camera for my abilities, but I'll grow into it.
for travels and for when I want good pics i use a Alpha nex N3 with 2 lenses 18-55mm and 55-200mm, when it is raining and/or I want not to carry many things an iphone 7
Asus Memo HD7 rear facing camera.
use it for the odd thing here and there. most recent ‘proper’ photo is from 2013. so I'm not much of a photographer.
low light is terrible/non existent, as are photos under lightbulb lighting.
everythings blurry mainly because I cant hold it still while pressing the screen.
it does the job I bought it for though. so fairly happy with it.
Canon 5d with a couple of lenses covering 16mm to 400mm. Olympus c50 for tucking away and underwater lhotography (in a waterproof housing) GoPro for action/specialised shots and iPhone when I just want to capture a moment and I don't have the others with me.
Never had you figured for a Canon man Peter ! Thought you had more sense :)
Canon 6d and 70d, with lenses ranging between 17mm-600mm.
Mostly shoot with my 17-50, 24-70 and 70-200 f2.8s but my 150-600mm is great for sports (960mm on the 70d).
My Huawei P8 in manual mode which does for when I don't take my cameras out.
Hmmm lots of questions from Hexus lately about what stuff we own. Hope they aren't planing a robbing spree.
Question next week : So what type of security product is on your house? Whats your favourite alarm code.

Think they get paid for this?
Samsung Galaxy S7… Since I got it my Olympus XZ-1 has been collecting dust.
Nikon D600 and Fuji XT10 with a smattering of lenses,and a rather battered Canon S95. I also use the phone for more basic stuff too.
cannon 30D with 17-85 is and f4 70-200 Olympus tough and a Panasonic tz35 plus note 3 for work and a Samsung A3 mobile as my daily carry

Yes, vey happy with it! Now I might be tempted by a mirrorless dslr, but the Canon kit and L lenses are more than good enough for what I need!

Took you 8 minutes to reply to this dude, disappointed tbh :p

My phone. The best camera in the world is the one you have with you.
The camera I use depends on what type of photo I'm taking.
I entirely agree with …

My phone. The best camera in the world is the one you have with you.
…. but for me, the solution is to make sure I have the right camera with me. I have yet to see the phone that is as good as even a half-decent point and shoot and, as a keen photographer and a phone-sceptic, you're FAR more likely to catch me carrying a half-decent super-compact than a phone. In my case, either a (sort-of) Leica-lensed Panasonic, or my larger but venerable old Olympus C5050. Or, a MUCH larger, superb-quality but limited resolution Olympus P20.
You might even catch me with with a 1970's manual Canon SLR, or a 90's auto-focus Canon SLR both of which are 35mm. In very rare cases, you might even catch me with a 645 medium format camera.
Then, on other occasions, it'll be in infra-red conversion supplied, and highly competently converted by, out very own g8ina.
But most commonly, it'll either be that Panasonic (TZ25, IIRC) or my Canon DSLR and lenses. Given that my main hobby is macro, it'll often either be a 100mm 2.8 macro, or MP-E65 super-macro, supported as ne essary by an MT-24EX Twinflash.
All that is supported by a range of accessories, from filters to teleconverters to extension tubes.
Then, there's a variety of other ‘collector’ type cameras, from an ancient box Brownie to Minox ‘spy’ camera and a fantastic but ‘hard to get film for’ Voightlander.
In other words, most of the time, the camera I have with me is determined by what I'm seeking to use it for. A phone is great for snaps, but very limited indeed, or outright useless, in many more challenging photographic situations.
I would like to have a nice camera but, whenever I have some money to spend on something new, my PC has an extraordinary ability to hoover it up and nothing else gets a look-in…
Mostly my LG G4, unless I've went out with the specific intention of taking a photo of something or going to an event/occasion that may be photo worthy, at which point it would be my Sony A58, with the kit lens.
I use the Fuji X-T2 ITS A GREAT CAMERA 2nd to none
have a nice day

I have my S6 phone for spur of the moment, a Sony RX100m1 for “probably need the camera” days and trips to the beach then my Sony ILCA-77M2 with either the 16-50 SSM or 70-300G SSM lens depending.
I like photos, but really can't be bothered to learn how to do it properly (I've got other time consuming activities - ie kids, motorbike, gaming) So I just use a Kodak Pixpro AZ526. I wanted more than just a point and shoot, but not too much. 52x zoom, 16m, manual modes, and wifi so I can use my phone as a remote. Suits me fine :-)
Fuji X-Pro2, Fuji X-T2, Minolta CLE (Film) & my One+3
Samsung NX 2000, does the job nicely. Daily i use IPhone 5s as it is always at hand, and only because of that.
Shield tablet. I keep breaking camera's so gave up buying them.

My phone. The best camera in the world is the one you have with you.
This quote is bang on. For a while I tried to keep my main camera on me all the time, but I'm just out of the habit at the moment.
I've got an Xperia phone, so photos are pretty reasonable, but you're still pretty limited with what you can do with a phone and a tiny sensor.
I use a Panasonic G7 Micro-four-thirds mirrorless camera for anything more than logging my electric meter readings! Far smaller and lighter than a full blown SLR but just as capable, if not more.
Got a range of Canon compacts from A to G series… don't use them anymore, I give them to my son to play with. I use a Samsung GE7 as the daily…
Nikon D3200 for most things.
Fujifilm X-T2 the best APS-C mirrorless camera ever made to date simple
also superior lenses are the Fuji made lenses just my opinion yes of course I'm bias because I use Fuji X-T2 lol
NO BUT SERIOUSLEY There are a lot of good cameras out there but Fuji is the best see cant help it????????

D3300 (usually with Sigma 18-35) when I want to take “proper” pictures, but if I had a time machine I'd have got a 5300 instead. The focus system is too basic and PC control is severely limited on the D3x00 series (I'd like to use it with
BackyardNikon).
Phone camera (Moto G4) for quick snaps as it's always with me.
Modded 450d and QHY163m for Astrophotography.
Still use a Canon 5D MkII with a few L series lenses for proper stuff.
Galaxy note phone for everything else as it's usually with me like the car keys.
Camera on my OnePlus 3 phone. Decent enough, and it's always there.
Lets see, a Fujifilm is quickly becoming my everyday camera, although it's fairly large, when i need something smaller and lighter i'll take an EOS-M (1) instead, which I also use for hiking trips as it's got a good sensor and is lightweight (although my old Sigma 10-20 lens spoils that slightly)
If I want to go really lightweight, and not an expensive loss on foreign holidays I'll take a Canon S90, which has RAW and full manual controls, so it can just about hold it's own, although the smallish sensor means low light isn't great.
For specific events or photography trips I use a 6D, although for sports photography I still tend to use my 40D.
I also still keep a bunch of film cameras around for purely enjoying photography, and the more tactile nature of it, I've slimmed this down a lot now but use a Yashica 24 TLR for medium-format, my SLR of choice is an Olympus OM-1 and I have an Olympus XA2 for really compact needs
At the moment a Nikon D3200 with Nikkor 70-300 VR ED FX, Nikkor 18-35 ED FX, and an old Nikkor 50mm AI f1.8. I want to switch to an FX body in the not too distant future, the D3200 lacks a few features I'd like and is also a bit too small for my hands.
EOS 30D or HTC U11…depending..
Nikon P900 for personal use. The zoom is just amazing. It lacks in many ohter areas though. doesnt do too well in low light, limited to 28 mins per video, and no way to remotely control the camera in a good way.
And HTX One A9 phone for work. Takes quite good pictures and video. Havent notished any downsides.
Got a Nikon 5200 but only gets brought out for special trips or ocassions these days.
Recently got myself a Sony A6000, beautiful compact-ish DSLR. The focus and shutter is very fast coming from a Sony NEX C3. I can easily recommend this camera.
Unfortunately I don't use it as often as I like, as the saying goes “the best camera is the one you have on you”. This is usually my Nexus 6P and its a good camera but can be quite slow processing photos if auto HDR is left on. Looking forward to possibly upgrading to the Pixel 2 at the end of the year.
Sony A58. Autofocus and anti-shake with 30 year old Minolta lenses.
