		After D4, D800 and 5D MKIII... I just had to know what are the 3 things people love about their current, main, cameras.
 
 I will start... I LOVE the image quality of my D1x camera first, very strong built, shutter/flash sync (1/500) |

		I love that my 7D shoots at 8 FPS, which is great in a lot of situations.  
 
 I love that it has wireless flash capability built in to the pop-up flash.
 
 I love that I have actually confirmed its weather resistance, and find it to be awesome.  I can always trust it, so now I get it dirty when I need to. |

		I love the fact its mine and I can always sell it for food.
 I love that it keeps me stable in a high wind.
 I love that if I didn't have it I wouldn't be here writing this. |

		Olympus XZ-!:
 I love that it fits in my pocket
 I love its f1.8 Zuiko lens
 I love that I often don't know where it is & that it doesn't matter to me.
 
 My true favourite camera.
 I love the huge sensor
 I love the absence of a light meter
 I love waist level viewfinder. |

		I love that it sees things I don't.  There's always a surprise in frame somewhere when I get home.
 I love that it gets me out of the house to find things for it to see.
 I don't have a third thing at the moment.  If I think of one later I'll let you know! |

		Takes awesome pictures without my needing to have any talent.
 Feels like a weapon in my hands.
 Makes people think I'm a professional photographer instead of the imitative hack that I really am.

		1.  I love it that I am blessed enough to have it, because it brings me so much joy.   Every time I "open" my CF card and see what I got... it's like my birthday!
 
 2.  I love it that it lets me be creative... I'm finding even more about who I am with a camera, even though I've "always" had one.
 
 3.   If I have to name a function of my specific camera, I love the frames per second. |

		After abandoning my Nikon F60 for a variety of digital p&s and superzoom cameras, I just love the way my Nikon D7000 feels in my hands. I love the satisfying sound of the shutter and I love that I'll be able to add different lenses (one day).

		1 - Buttons are more conveniently located compared to my old D90.
 2 - I can bludgeon someone without having to worry about the camera.
 3 - I can add a battery extension to get me closer to the FPS I need without having to spend the money on the D3. **
 
 ** Now after reading the specs and seeing the shots of the newer D4, I may have to pick it up in the near future.

		1- I love the way it makes me be more observant of the things around me. 
 2- I love shutting the world out while I'm out taking pictures. 
 3- I love the way it captures the present and makes memories of the past. 
 
 (I hate the update button at the beginning of a challenge!!! Lol) |

		After 6.5 years, I still love my 5D. The things that I love most are:
 - The image quality. It never fails to deliver stunning images, as long as the user doesn't screw up!
 - The flexibility of the EOS system with respect to lenses. There's a whole world of classic stuff that can be mounted.
 - The reason I bought it the minute it became available, full frame 35mm baby! Boy, did I miss that.

		For my Canon:
 1. 436mm (35mm EQ) maximum optical FL -- lets me shoot from far away
 2. Tilt-swivel LCD -- lets me shoot at odd angles
 3. A tie between SuperMacro mode (will focus as close as the front surface of the lens) and that it takes AA batteries instead of a stupid proprietary battery pack.
 
 For my Olympus:
 1. That it still works (sometimes) after more than 10 years
 2. The lens assembly (almost) perfectly fits some cheap special-effects lenses (see my "Blurry" Gallery)
 3. It takes AA batteries |

		For my Canon EOS 400D:
 
 1. The way I was able to get my camera and all the wonderful people that made it possible. -Thanks again!
 2. I can take pictures again.
 3. I can enter challenges again.

		For my 5D2:
 
 1. The buttery-smooth image tonality (you knew I was gonna say it, right?).
 2. The Custom modes on the top dial, so I can just flip the dial and get auto-bracketing for HDRI.
 3. The sensor-cleaning function WORKS!

 3.  "slow"
 4.  Survives daily beatings, showers in the ocean and is now well over 100k actuation
 5. Noise at ISO 52,000 is perfect. |

		Canon Rebel Xti
 1. I love that it proves to me everyday that its the photographer not the camera, as I outshoot friends with much more expensive cameras
 2. Its super light frame (shooting with my work's Mark 1 always makes my hands cramp up from the weight)
 3. That its a super hardy camera that has lasted me through various harry circumstances and is over 50000 shutter actuations above what it is supposed to last. |
