Regardless of model/make, what is your favorite aspect of your cam? For me (at the moment), LIVE VIEW!

 

The price... I got a great deal on it, along with most of my other accessories. I have less than $2k total invested in all of my gear. That may sound like a lot to some, but to many here it is pocket change.

 

The size.

I just love the larger more solid feeling cameras.

As for features...I love the digital level.

 

For me right now, Nothing

 

As much as I would like to have Live View, I'm pretty pleased with the 30D.

Favorite feature is probably no shutter delay and high FPS. Of course these are features most if not all SLRs have, but its still a huge deal.

If you don't like it, I'll trade you.

 

the IQ

 

I like the 40D's live view also; it's a useful feature that I use regularly. But my favorite thing about digital SLR's is their responsiveness. I love that when I need to get the shot right now, there's no problem.

That's something even the best compacts just haven't been able to match yet.

 

The NAME,


I don't know, I have to really think about this.

 

Maybe mine is broken but there have been many times where my af was sluggish and took quite some time to lock focus although still much faster than a p&s

 

SLR (5D) - the simple fact that it's full frame

P&S (LX3) - dynamic black & white mode (about the only thing that I genuinely like about it)

 

Totally agree!

and along with that i just love the way my 5D feels when i take pictures

 

I am a dork. The histogram.


And live view, too.

 

xt= the 1.6x on long lenses, it was light. (sold)
1D= everything but the 1.3x and 4mp.(sold)
5D= Full Frame.. 12mp is alright.(current)

If i had a 1Ds. I would have no complaints. (except maybe those huge expensive batteries that don't hold their charge and even when they do, die super quickly. And that the charger is bigger than the camera.)

 

My d300, I love the af speeds!

 

full frame. hand grip.

 

when i press this silver button, it records an image of whatever is in front of me

 

Although I don't get to use it very often, my camera has ISO 50, which has produced some incredible images.

 

^agreed

i just started to experiment and text out iso 50 and i am totally impressed with the IQ i get

 

ive been contemplating on selling it and picking up a 1DmkIIn

but i also would like to have a 2nd body cause its baller!

 

How easy it is to delete all my crappy pics

 

The speed of the D300 is awesome. I also love how long the battery lasts.

lcrazyaznl - how's your IQ and sharpness? Mine's soft. I think it is faulty or needs calibration.

 

XSi - IQ/value ratio.
SD700IS - ISO80+IS = Surprising IQ for a P&S. Also, it's hackable.

 

what camera do you have?

 

Not specific to the D300 but more Nikons in general....but I just like the fact that it feels solid in your hand. A big reason I went with Nikon over Canon. The Canon's felt 'cheap' in my hand if that makes sense and the grips generally speaking were cramped.
