What Camera Model and Eq. Do You Use for Disney Pics

[blackjackdelta]

Curious what everyone is using for their pics in the park. I has seen some excellent pics and would like to know what type/kind of equipment is being used.

I'm a total follower around here and still learning, but was very pleased with the photos we brought back from our last trip thanks to all the advice from this board.

My camera: Rebel XT and Sigma 18-125

 

[Miqee]

I use a nikon d200
Nikon 18-200 vr
Nikon 50mm 1.8

Just wish i could have taken the sigma 50 - 500 but it was too big for taking round the parks.

 

[fitzperry]

Nikon D70 with 18-70, 55-200 and 50mm/1.8 Nikon lenses.

 

[Geoff_M]

My last park set up was:

18-70mm Nikkor "kit" lens
10.5mm Nikkor fisheye

 

[Amy]

Canon S3 IS - love it!

Next trip will have:

Nikon D50, 18-135mm, 70-300mm VR, 50mm f/1.8 and 90mm f/2.8 Macro. Will also have the SB-600 Flash with me for when we have character meals scheduled.

 

[DVC Jen]

Canon 30D

Canon 28 - 135 IS
Canon 50mm

First trip behind the camera coming up in 5 days!

Olympus E-510
2 kit lenses - Zuiko 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6, Zuiko 40-150mm f/4-5.6
Sigma 30mm f/1.4

Also carrying our compact Fuji Finepix F30 along with 2 sizes of Gorillapod, our XShot for self-portraits, and a tripod that is older than I am to put in the locker for fireworks.

Oh, and all in a Lowepro Slingshot 200.

 

[MarkBarbieri]

Body: Canon 1D Mark 2

Lenses: Canon 24-70 f/2.8, Canon 70-200 f/2.8 IS, Canon 17-40 f4, Canon 50 f/1.8

Flash: Canon 580EX

Filters: Hoya Circular Polarizer

Rather than using a UV filter, I just smear a little SPF 30 sunscreen on the lenses. Much cheaper.

Kodak DC4800 3MP p&s.
Canon 30D just to check exposure for the Kodak.

There's a bunch of us here using Pentax DSLRs but generally we're a fairly quiet bunch - not much response in "what do you use" and no "show me" threads. (OK, we do speak up when people are looking for buying suggestions!) So I'll toss in here. Pentax *ist DL and K100D, Pentax 18-55mm, Pentax 50-200mm, Pentax 50mm F1.4, Pentax 10-17mm fisheye, Tamron 28-75mm F2.8, Vivitar 55mm 1:1 macro, Sigma 28mm F2.8, Zenitar 16mm fisheye, Slik Pro 713 CF2 tripod, Clamperpod, two circular polarizers (67mm/52mm), cross filter, homemade Tic-Tac shutter release, etc, etc, etc. Nearly everything is going with us when we leave for California early in the morning tomorrow.

Another Pentaxian for the record.

Pentax K100D
Pentax SMC-DA 18-55mm

Tamron 80-210mm

cheap tripod

and... as of next week a SMC-FA 50mm F/1.4
I just ordered today! I will probably be selling the 50mm F/2.

My next trip I will be down sizing a bit, seeing as that I have sold off most of my L glass.

 

[polkadotladybug]

Canon S3 IS - not as fancy as a dslr, but I love it!

 

[Geekerbell]

Canon S3 IS - love it!

I have been considering this camera for my b-day WDW trip. My current digi cam is woefully outdated.

How does it handle night shots and high speed stuff? Have you taken any pics of the fireworks or Fantasmic with it?

TIA!!
