Which type of camera do you use?  

I mostly use disposable 35 mm cameras like Kodak brand that you use only one time. This is convenient for me because the film is already in the camera and when I have the film developed I send in the whole camera and I get the photos back. The cameras are usually reasonably price around $7.00 dollars and sometimes on sale for $5.00 and they take good quality pictures for a one time use disposable camera.

I'm into Lomography now. I use a Holga 120N. It's a lo-fi, plastic medium-format film camera, it's 'cheap construction and simple meniscus lens' produces pictures with really cool effects like vignetting, blur, light leaks, etc. There are no rules when we photograph with Lomo cameras, sometimes, the worse the effects the better. =) Lo-fi photography is fun, spontaneous and absolutely artful.

im using my digital camera from canon. it really takes very good pictures in it.

I have a kodak p850 and a kodak z700... both are point and shoot cameras but decent ones and my p850 is a long zoom lens. i would love to get a nikon or cannon DSLR
but your right they do cost a lot and a lot more then i can pay at the moment... but one of these days i'll have one! i love photography and i want to become a professional photographer. I am always taking pictures and trying to better myself by hands on learning since i hate reading and all that junk.. i just get out and shoot and teach myself that way..

My very first digital camera was an HP Photosmart too! Except mine was only 1 megapixel!

Now I use a Nikon D300 which is a professional DSLR. I highly recommend Nikon DSLRs! They have some really nice entry-level DSLR models too that are actually very affordable. Also, if you're worried about the price you should consider buying a used model! eBay and Craigslist are great places to get a good deal on a used camera!

I am not a photographer, but I do like to point and click a lot. I'm lucky when I get a few great shots out of every couple of dozen. lol. My current camera is a digital. It's an 5.1 megapixel Olympus FE-130. Certainly not the greatest of cameras, but it does most of what I need, so I'm happy with that for now.

I shoot a kllt of pictures, mainly with a Canon DSLR. In their right place, though every camera is capable of making nice pictures, and you shouldn't worry about how good, professional or otherwise you gear is: just get out and capture the world. I have seen your HP photos: you have a good eye and a nice sense of homour.

well i have a canon, an S3IS... i had a canon 40D but i crushed it (not intented that, but i saved my life)... i'm intendin to buy a better one these days... :)
god help me... till then this camera does it's job very good
