The question has been repeatedly asked as to what the typical CR member shoots with. What is the highest level of gear that you use regularly
What do you shoot with.

Hi Don.
A good idea for a poll, I think it might have been better to separate the X series bracket down in to Crop and FF categories, but limiting it to the highest level of gear used regularly stops people like me with more than one series of body from muddying the waters too much!
Cheers, Graham.

They are all part of X series. Rather than break things down to every model, it's just broad ranges.AlanF said:

Many of us shoot with more than one body or even system. A multi-option poll might be more interesting. I assume most take some pictures with a phone, some may have MF, some M4/3, some LF, some specialty cameras (panorama, microscope, IR/UV/full-spectrum).
I shoot with 5DsR, 5D2 full spectrum, 4x5" ArcaSwiss, microscope camera (Zeiss Axiocam HRc), SEM (Zeiss EVO 40XVP).
On Canon bodies, mostly Zeiss lenses, a few Canon, one Nikon (EL 80/5.6), all primes, not one zoom.

Quite true, but I was trying to keep the poll limited to just Canon gear and broad categories.Zeidora said:
BTW, I shoot with Canon DSLRs, Nikon superzoom, Olympus P/S, and GoPro action cameras. I think that many of us cross boundaries

1DS III and 1DX for all my serious shooting. For the last few years my "play" camera has been the 1D Mk III. Sold my last one two weeks ago and might have to try something new.

My primary digital camera is a 40D with either a EF-S 10-22mm or an EF 85mm f/1.8.
My secondary digital camera is a 5D3. I only use it with a EF 90mm f/2.8 T&S L lens.
My film camera is a Elan 7n used with a an EF 50mm f/1.8 Mk2.
I need a crop/Super35mm 4K camera. Canon doesn't make one!! Why no 7DX 4k or a M5X with 4K video?? So do I buy another Sony Super35 or a M4/3 with 4K video??

I've got an Elan 7E, too. It was my main 35mm film camera until I picked up the Eos 3 a few years ago. On behalf of all of the Elan 7 owners out there, I must say that I'm outraged by the current trend of cutting them in half and posting the results on Youtube.

With 88% of the respondents in one group, perhaps a follow-on poll is in order. Since this category has a very wide range of camera bodies used, we should call out 1Dx2, other 1D, New 5D (IV, DS), older 5D, 7D2, and 7D.

Given the high degree of knowledge in posts on these forum threads (at least the posts except for mine), I am not surprised by the results. I do not, by any means, want to imply that everyone here is not knowledgeable and informative. But, I've learned a lot by reading threads here in CR and there is likely a correlation between photography knowledge and sophistication of equipment used (although I know folks who create incredible images with smart-phones). A subsequent poll with a breakdown in the category might be interesting (5Dxx vs 1Dxx vs etc) and I think there will be some evolution in the results over time. For example, I am using the M3 much more than I would have anticipated even a few months ago although I cannot see it ever replacing my FF kit in amount of use. But this might change.......

Poll options aren't thorough. I have a 5D with L lenses, but some of the time I shoot with a P&S, a smartphone, and a .50 cal.

Hi ajfotofilmagem.
Good question.
Possibly due to a number of similarities,
both can be used on a target,
both can be used to spray and pray,
both have a tendency to miss if you stab or jerk the release rather than squeeze,
both have barrels, some interchangeable some fixed,
both have optics (ok one it's vital the other works without them
)
;D ;D ;D
Ok more likely it is derived (bastardised) from the modelling world (and perhaps other genres) doing a photo shoot? ???
Personally I hope never to be shot with anything other than a camera, and I'm not keen on that, that is one reason I'm usually behind it not in front!
Cheers, Graham.

Yes. I love the remote, detached, clinical results. Up close and personal with a knife is so messy.
