Mostly my Canon A1100 IS pocket camera, because my Nikon D750 makes images far too large and dense that require significant computer modifications to be usable on the Forum and my computer and I aren't really on speaking terms.

What camera do you use for taking your wonderful videos Jim?

iPhone 13 Pro for picture and video. Was going to invest in a new video camera 2 maybe 3 years ago but the phone does such a good job and much more convenient, and on top of it all, was cheaper!

I am with Nick on this.

Our phones have become so good for this that I have used little else for a couple years.

Presently it is a Samsung S-22 Ultra.

My Samsung A54

Same phone Bruce.
I held on to my old Samsung forever, battery was still good, Ang talked me into this one to have for our cruise....I fought the change, but now I love this one.😊 takes such good pictures & video quality is superb, but best of all it holds tons of pics & videos in its memory.

After going Samsung Android I would never pay the $$$ for an iPhone ever again.
My Samsung Galaxy A54 killed off my pocket cameras and looking at the 4K video it shoots on a big flatscreen TV its unbelievable how clear it is.
