My venerable, trusty, and legendary Canon 1D. The last of Canon's best CCD based dSLR. I had many dSLRs in the past going all the way back to Canon D2000...but I still prefer to shoot with my trusty Canon 1D.

Sure is rugged. I dropped the camera on a concrete floor 2x there is a small dent on the corner and it's still shooting strong. I shoot it in the rain. I took it to overseas many times in rain, mud, etc...and it's unstoppable...I hope

I got to admit, I've got hooked on lenses (luckily I haven't spent all my money on them yet!)

Ehh, what's that you have attached to it, some 28-75 and a Metz flash? I think it's high time to upgrade to a 24-70L and a 580EX...
I used to own a large photo studio few years ago with several partners and had every "L" lenses up to 400mm. Now, I decided to pair it down to two modest yet excellent lenses (Tameron 28-75mm2.8, Canon 70-300mmIS), my original Metz, and my trusty 1D
I am very happy with this modest setup....like my head-fi gears...old, yet still excellent

Haha, had to sell the photography gear for the headphone stuff eh? You win some you lose some
Nikon D200
Nikon D100
Nikon F100 with batterygrip

Manfrotto 55dbPro + 128RC

And on the loan (not sure if I have to give it back but probably will, Shoit!!)
Cambo large format camera (4x5") with three lensen: a 80mm, a 105mm and a 200mm (if I am not mistaken, too lazy to look)
I had a Nikkormat FTn and an EL... replaced those with a Pentax LX and a selection of lenses from the wonderful rectilinear 17mm to a 300mm A*. Also Pentax 6X7, and a 67II, with a selection of lenses from 45mm to 300mm. Starting in 1999 I kept my eye on the digital field, as I do a lot of Web presentations and scanning film was a real time-sink. Finally bought a Canon Powershot G2 as a stand-in in 2002.
The final step was buying a Canon 1D Mark 2 in November 2004. I like this camera a lot. Quick, reliable, predictable. I've picked up a 20mm wide, 50mm macro, 85mm portrait, 100mm macro, and most recently a 24-70 zoom. I bought that one because the 20mm was too wide, and I couldn't find the 35mm I wanted. I've since learned to like the zoom, especially for sand sculptures that are of unpredictable dimensions. I like having the ability to vary the shots.
