Main camera is a General Electric X500, I got it for a 8th Grade "Graduation" gift.
Secondary camera is a Sony Cybershot DSC-W310
I also have a JVC Eviro which is currently inactive.

I still have me same phone, but I've gotten a couple of new cameras: a Sony DSC-W350 and a Canon PowerShot A2200. Both cameras have HD video feature, and i can zoom with the Sony while recording, unlike my W120. For the record, the New Viall Ave 1 "Take Two" vid was taken with the Canon.

Joined a photo contest to win a new $6,000 Canon camera. The catch was that the picture submitted had to be taken with a Canon camera, and I switched to Nikon 25 years ago.

I made it all the way to the final round before somebody finally checked my submission entry, where it clearly states I used Nikon gear. I was disqualified.

Philistines!

Canons suck anyway had/have a Canon DS6041 it had a few problems right out of the box but canon fixed them because of the warranty, I had some shutter problems later on were it would not catch the picture. The end came when It feel off my friends train layout and hit the floor denting the lens, Instead of buying a new lens I got a new camera.
Nikok D5100 love it and I'm sticking with Nikon.
Also recently got a new iphone 4S.

Yeah. Never took a shot like this with a Canon anyway...

Man gedunk, that is a good picture! I think I just found my new favorite desktop backround.

I have a DXG 5B1V camcorder that will also take some pictures.

This is what my camcorder exactly looks like, exact color and type

I'm flattered. Don't try to print it out though, unless you've a LOT of ink.

FYI: That's BNSF at Mojave. It's just split from the shared trackage with UP after the climp up Tehachapi grade. It's curving off to Barstow.

Canon EOS Rebel T1i is my primary camera for HD video, and stills when not taking video.

My old Sony DSC-P10 is still used for train stills when taking video with the T1i. Alternatively, I can take train stills with the T1i and use my old Sony DCR-HC36 DV camcorder on Widescreen mode for video.

Cell phone is a Samsung/U.S. Cellular SCH-R330.

One of my earliest train shots with my (then) new Nikon. The rail cars in the background are part of the same train, and about one mile of track behind the locomotives. That's one long train. The lens flare to the left of the locomotive prevented this one from being sold to a magazine... :-(
