Have a look at Yeoeleven's blog and his fantastic photo's along the way, can't remember what camera's he used, he changed them at one stage when one went for a swim in the Denmark River when the canoe he was in capsized, hence a new camera, see;

Canon S100 - it is small enough to carry on my belt all the time and takes pretty good photos.  It has limitations but the main advantage is I can carryn it everywhere with ease.  Of course, I don't take it swimming....

It works well for the range of photos I take, landscape, family, people etc. I use MS Digital Image Suite for editing and I also compile slideshows using Roxio.

Thanks for the link Duh. Lots pf photos to look through..Looks interesting to say the least.

I love Yeoeleven's annex thing in one of his pics very good idea if there for a few days!

i have an old cannon cyber shot power some thing, but these days just use my iphone, so quick to
pull out and take pics and vids , not too bad for a phone camera ..

let me say that I am not into photography, I do not edit the pics that I put on the forum and blog. I am a point and shoot photographer and since the canoe mishap at Denmark in this new year I have used a Fujifilm XP that I bought because it is waterproof, shockproof, dust proof and freeze proof. I was going across the top and wanted to be prepared for anything, the freeze proof was a bit over kill. In the main I use the automatic setting and upload to the blog as is but when copying to the forum I cut the pixels in half down to 800 X 600.

The pics uploaded to the blog are also added to a Picasa album and there are currently 746 so over the past couple of years must have been busy.

Thanks Vic for putting the link to the blog, the more who look at it encourage me to keep it up, although being here at Green's Lake I find it difficult to keep up the posts. I enjoy traveling and posting the places where I stay but have been here now for 2 weeks with another 3 to go so variety is scarce,

I have just upgraded (as a 60th birthday pressy) to a Pentax K5 which is their latest offering in DSLR with an 18-200 zoom and it is weather and dust proof and will be able to use all my old lenses and attachments from my film cameras(35mm).

I still have my medium format (120 film) 6 x 7 mamiya and to upgrade it to digital would cost around $33,000 and the result would still not be as sharp as the film.

I love photographing people particularly at work or doing something they enjoy. I am a bit hopeless at landscape but I am trying to improve. I like to make my pictures in the camera using my skills I only use editing software to crop or cut and paste.

Love photography when we travel. I sit with my Canon EOS 500D on my knee on automatic, so I never miss a thing.

Sunsets and spiders are my favourite. The other half chases the snakes, I sit in the get away vehicle.

I would love to try sunrises but alas, they seem to happen at the wrong time of the day for me.

I use my camera on manual for sunsets or anything that is earlier in the day.

Did a camera course in Toronto before the last trip. He taught us how to use the camera on manual and what all the settings were.

Very informative.

I take a few pictures with my Nikon D80, Nikon DX 18-55mm lens and Nikon DX 80-400mm lens.

I also have another Nikon lens that I drink my coffee out of (see anim below)

I love Nikon's

I have a Pentax  K-r and added a Sigma zoom lense before this years trip.  

Love taking birds and flowers.

My photos are more for me than to show others.

 Did an 8 hour course to learn how to use DSLR and am having a lot of fun trying to use the manual settings.

Canon EOS 450D with several lenses, and my absolute favourite - my macro lens. Love macro!
