Default What type of camera do you use?

What kind of camera do you guys use to take pictures of your tank? Was wondering what other people get the best results with.

I use a Canon 40D (My fiance is a photography major and it's her camera shhh don't tell)

I was planning to get a nikon or a cannon xti, but I realized it would take me a while to save up for one, so I got a cheap kodak digital for the time being and maybe next christmas I will give myself a good camera as a gift.

My fiance used the xti before she got the 40D they are really nice cameras. Would be a good investment.

I personally like the Nikon SLR series cameras. However, the canons and Nikons are close competitiors and both shoot great pictures.

I currently have a Nikon D70, though I am wanting to upgrade to the Nikon D300. The D300 is about as sweet as you can get without going to one of the high end professional cameras that are really expensive. Check out the D300, it is really pricey ($1600 body only), but boy what a camera.
