It's the photographer, not the camera, but sometimes it's really the lens.

Apple iPhone 11 Pro
Starting to get there.

Apple iPhone 14 Pro
This first time I started feeling my phone was actually a camera, instead of a gimmick.

Apple iPhone X
Okay, here's where it started to almost be considered something useful.

Canon Powershot G12
I loved everything about this pocket sized travel camera except its results. Not quite good enough but tantalizingly close.

Fujifilm X-E2
The X100 convinced me Fuji was on to something, the X-E2 was for all intents the digital Contax G I had dreamed of. Compact, fun lenses, and great travel companion.

Fujifilm X-H1
A big beast for fuji, and ultimately that's why I swapped to a Z - for the same size I was getting more light. A really great attempt but not quite up to the state of the art - too big to be as lovely as the X-T series.

Fujifilm X-M1
The same 16MP Sony sensor that powered the X-E2, X-T1, and X-70, and similar to the Coolpix A, the X-M1 was a great IR body but the lack of viewfinder caused headaches.

Fujifilm X-T1
A joking rental turned into a serious purchase, the original X-T1 was pure Fuji while also being the ideal the OM-1 aspired to be - lightweight, simple, but thoroughly capable. And my favorite 16mp sensor, gorgeous in X-Trans and IR.

Fujifilm X-T2
The only thing that made me leave this critter was the want for IBIS, it took until the X-T5 for there to be a true replacement.

Fujifilm X100
Really an incredible leap of art and faith - an amazingly clever optical/digital hybrid viewfinder, and captured what Leica wanted to do in a way Leica has still failed at.

Fujifilm X100S
The second in the series, the X100 was great but I miss this critter.

Fujifilm X70
A really nifty camera that would have been perfect with IBIS.

Nikon Coolpix A
An APS-C Compact camera better only by the Fuji X70, this was a wonderful camera, a great IR body as well, until I let it get swallowed by a wave.

Nikon D4
A beast of a camera; amazing sensor and rock solid. But IBIS is really nice and the Z6 called me!

Nikon D600
My first 'Full Frame' digital, and a big jump in some ways - a great workhorse.
More Details -
Nikon D7000
The second camera I bought brand new, preordered and worth every single cent. This was the camera that really let me shoot seriously without a ton of limiters from the start.

Nikon D750
I tried to love this camera - it's a fantastic DSLR - but after shooting Fuji's, what I increasingly wanted was a mirrorless system and never having to calibrate lenses!

Nikon D80
My first digital Nikon, the D80 might not have been revolutionary, but the on/off switch made sense, the menus were sensible, and it felt like it was made for photographers in a way Canons had seemed to diverge from.

Nikon Z50
The wonderful but annoying little brother.

Nikon Z6
Oh. It's not perfect, but it's the best Nikon I've ever owned.

Nikon ZF
Manual controls, amazing autofocus, brilliant in low light, and comes in green. What's not to love?

Olympus E-PM1
My first dedicated IR interchangeable body, the sensor was perfectly matched for IR.

Olympus TG-5
Little red waterproof unbreakable travel buddy! Tough and fun, with a great macro mode, maybe it's got a tiny sensor but it's a fun tool to use!

Panasonic DMC-TS3
Little red waterproof alllllmost unbreakable travel buddy! Tough and fun, it took a long time to kill this wee beastie.

Panasonic LX-3
Another of the lux-compacts with sensors that couldn't quite live up to their interface, this was truly a great camera that suffered only with comparisons to sensors far larger.

Sony RX-100Mk 4
I can't seem to decide if I like this camera, it's useful, it's perfectly good, but it's not got that emotional connection I'd expect it to have, given it's capabilities and size.
