Craig Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Who has a camera/DSLR that they use regularly (say, more than once a month) for non astro photography? Edit: Gonna keep a tally... Craig Mike Graham Mark Andy Leigh Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I do, but don't use it often enough except for the odd Motorsport event or doing images of products for my website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I dont know if it counts as a DSLR as it has a fixed lens but I have the fine pix, Use it all the time for bits and pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 The motorsport shots could be cool. I wouldn't mind going to some of those myself. I've done track days at Mallory Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine once said, "the best camera is the one you have with you". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfruit Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Me too, but i use it for taking pics of the family etc, as well as the odd astro photo, best of both worlds. At least that is how i sold the idea to the wife! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldfruit Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I do my best! To be honest though. that was always the idea. A camera i could use for both. I have a Canon 1000d unmodded. Does the job, good pics of the family and not too shabby results with the astro pics either. You can do the mods, add filters etc etc but the market place is full of options now. You can buy a modded camera and still take normal photo`s. Our choice has never been so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyboy1970 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I use my Nikon D40 for everyday stuff, the wife has a compact camera and a waterproof camera. The Canon 1000d was bought purely for astro, so I modded it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
