canon A430

Canon xm2 (gl2 american modle), awsome! colour is warmer than sony vx's but the sonys have better low lux, im really happy with it.

right now an old canon powershot g2, but in two days i'll be using the tiny canon powershot sd1000. i hope it's good. it got good ratings, so i have my fingers crossed.

panasonic pv-gs250 3 chip and sharp vl-wd450u 1 chip.

canon TX-1

sony TRV-8...

Just got a new Pentax Optio W30 yesterday that I plan to use, unless I'm working on something more serious, in which case I'll see if I can borrow the Canon GL-2 from work.

Sanyo Xacti HD2 and Canon XM2. One for fighting, and one for fun.

sony vx2000 (still working)

I have been using a Canon Powershot S60 (OLD) and need to upgrade...been seriously eyeing the Sony DSC-T100. Anyone else use it / recommend it / hate it?

Sony FX1. It'd be perfect if it had a damn xlr.

panasonic fx-01

Canon SD1000
Nikon Coolpix 4500
Panasonic DVX100a
Panasonic Lumix LX2

JVC Everio GZ-MG155U It is a Hybrid that records video & still images on HDD or SD. It is very small and powerfull. check it out. I think everybody needs one. Help us fight the new world order. Listen to Alex at infowars.com ... Become a infowarior before they take you're camera away. New York NY. has PROHIBITED all cameras with out special permision & One Million dollors of insurance and a stinkin permit. I say screw them. This is still America as far as I am concerned and no body is going to take my first amendment away.

Canon MV500i (years old, but it does the job). Not going to be able to afford anything better anytime soon

DVX100b MKII death...holla

and the guy who said his GL has warmer colors than the VX series is wrong and a bad person, a VX1000 will destroy a GL2 any day, in any situation. also cheeper.

VX1K with gaynox fisheye ... gaaaaahh I want a MK1 :(

panasonic sdr-h18

I use a Fuji Finepix F20

a canon s5 with my fish eye

samsung sc hmx10

Pano GS500.

Sanyo Xacti HD1A

Good - HD or SD on a SD card, very small, poor low-light performance

Bad - 45 minute battery life and no external charger

I use an Canon HV20 with a firewire cable, backpack, and macbook pro.

Sony PDW-F330

i use the Aipken Go-HD I got it for $200. The quality on it is near HD. I go everywhere with it. Everything on the camera is good. The only flaws about this camera is there is no stability control, audio distorts in loud atmosphere, not really great in low light environment. But overall, I really like this camera because it's small and it fits in my pocket where ever I go.

I videos I posted are from the Aipken Go-HD

Canon XH A1, HV10, Nikon D40. The A1 makes what I shoot even look good. No small task that. [grin]

Panasonic DVX100

Panasonic DVX100B

Moving:
Sony EX-1, Canon XH-A1, Canon HV-20, Canon HV-10. Though I love all of my children, The Sony wins hands-down. The HV-20 wins hands-down for sub-$1000. The HV-10 wins for tiny tiny tiny HD. The XH was awesome but I grew weary of DV tape breaks/errors and sold it to the paper I worked for. They went under. it got auctioned off cheap, apparently... But I walked with their lavs so all is good.

Still:
Nikon D200 x2
Canon Powershot G9

Editing:
MacPro (8x2.8ghz with 8GB ram)
MacBook Pro (C2D 2.33 with 3GB ram)

I use the iMac built-in webcam thing.

It's all I have, but the quality really isn't all that bad.

Sanyo Xacti CG65, a really great little H264+AAC VGA video camera and 6mp stills camera.

Most of the videos I have up here at the moment are just ‘mp4’ files straight off the camera at Super High Quality setting. The files which are edited were done in iMovie ‘08. :)

I love it! The Photo function and Anti Shake are the most impressive features.

i just got the Canon HG10

Canon GL2. Hoping for an XH-A1 with everything starting to move towards HD now.

Aiptek A-HD 720p HD Camcorder

A Sony HDR-HC1E, It was sooo good they took it off the market (for real!). Extremely happy with it, so glas my dad was willing to help me finance it :)
For photographs a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18, great thing, the lens is just soo beautiful (And the dof - aaaah!)
For editing a mac mini 1,6 dual core, with a 22" lcd.
All I need to make beautiful things (hopefully)

Flip Video Ultra : When only the best will do.

i have the SONY HDR-SR12 I love it..... I do it no justice thou... ima learning thou : ) i have the first SONY DSLR TOO the SONY A100 I love it too !!!

Just bought a Canon XH-A1! I edit on a Macbook, not Pro :( Someday I'll get an Octo Mac Pro with 10 gigs of RAM!... me hopes.

Recently added the Sony PMW-EX1 to my equipment list.
Other cameras I own:

Sony HVR-V1U (2)
Canon HV20 (1)

Soon to purchase several more EX1s. Now that Adobe Premiere supports XDCam EX totally, it is liberating. Instant shoot to edit and no more dropouts, a/v sync issues, etc. And the sound.. with a good external mic, the EX1 produces near studio-grade sound.

tho lots of canon users like to get into the HDV codec discussion over it! ;)
