What Frigging Camera Do You Use

Either my Nikon Df or an older D-200.  I'm convinced that my sucky pics are due to too many, and too-different, light sources.  My kitchen table has light coming in through a sliding glass door, from above through a skylight (which is blue-ish via the plastic lens), from above from the incandescent dining room light, fluorescent from the adjacent kitchen, and fill-flash when I don't want to dig out the tripod.  
I need to buy a bag of those multi-colored peppers, set em in a bowl, and just spend an afternoon experimenting and taking notes; I may even post the results here if I learn anything surprising.  
It's funny, when I do a shot of something on the grill outside, with just fill-flash, I'm perfectly happy with those pics; just used to shooting outside I guess.  

Just shoot a grey card as a custom WB and save that.  I don't do that personally,  but have before. Too easy to fix in LR which is done very somilar, just need to find a true white or grey,  sample that with medicine dropper, and bam, you WB is true.

I use my IPhone 7+. I have to have the image stabilization or my photos come out blurry.

Everyone please take a picture of your camera and post it.

Never thought of trying that; thanks!

Android LG V20. Upgraded to this in 2017 from using my old trusty HTC M8. So far I'm happy with its performance. There's autofocus and you can also go 100% manual and also has dual lens wide angle and front facing camera also has the wide angle option.

That pos didn't last a week on my phone. Got one as a throw in on a multi phone package. It's like trying to have sex with twelve condoms on. No thanks.

one thingwith the cameras, lousy or not, its the lighting. i only get good pics out doors in the sun light and its because im not up with lighting

Here is a picture I took with my phone when it was damn near dark out.

Nice dress you have on BTW.  The camera does amazing things in low light conditions I see.  

Well thank you for the compliment.  I thought it fit perfectly...

Are you saying that Trump is the only one allowed to have orange skin?

Yes, Trump is the only one allowed to have orange skin naturally and not due to the flash of the camera.

You can adjust the white balance in post processing. Or if you get something like this, you can adjust the WB in-camera.

I have one of those disks, I've used it about a dozen times, I have no idea where it now though... it works pretty well, but just wasn't worth the effort or cost.

I bet if you stop trying to have sex with your phone, a lot of your issues would be solved.

I'm surprised no one else has mentioned my go-to camera...in fact ONLY camera! 
It's a Canon PowerShot SX110IS. It has a 10X optical zoom, with image stabilizer and 13 dummy proof optional settings which include video plus my favorite AUTO which I use most all of the time.

I set up a complex series of mirrors and used the timer on the 5D for a self portrait.

I don't know jack sh*t about cameras, but I know I love that table! Something you made from re-claimed wood maybe?

I don't post pics here but if you want a great camera for low light without having to use flash and/or dragging out the DSLR, look at the Sony RX100

Hasselbad X1D-C, but then I snap a picture of the photo with my Galaxy S1 to post.

Iphone 7.  Remember to wipe the lens occasionally...fingerprints on it make for blurry pics.

What kind of camera bag is this? Do you like it? I'm looking for a bag to fit a small mirrorless camera and extra lens.

iPhone 6+.   Occasionally I use post processing in Lightroom to fix up a photo.  If  I really need a good photo, I shoot RAW with my Canon G16 and "develop" with Lightroom.  I always take this camera with me on vacations, etc.

This is a Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home. It holds a good amount of gear. There's two flashes, 70-200 2.8, 24-120 f4, 50mm, and 55mm macro in there along with the D600 camera. 

It fits well with doing any photog work, especially weddings.

Prefer my G16 over an older entry level Canon DSLR, dayum the dedicated flash for the DSLR cost more than the G16! It's my go to anywhere any time camera. I use it in point-n-shoot mode though   One of these days I want to play with RAW, may have to ask for your advice.

I totally agree.  The G16 replaced a G11 which replaced a G3, my first digital camera.  For most, it easily replaces a DSLR, has great low light capabilities, and is compact.   Adobe Lightroom is what caused me changed to RAW.  It is very easy to use and produces amazing photos.  Ask away! @Canugghead
