Do you use the camera often? Is it in good condition?

The real difference between pro, semi-pro cameras and their cheaper cameras is not their features but their construction: weather seals, really robust shutter, alloy bodies instead of plastic. I have cameras that I haven't been able to wear out in nearly half a century of hard use (my Exacta was new in 1962 and still works reliably), and my Canon film and digital SLRs are built tough, too. They have to be to stand up to what I throw at them!

I use my family's camera quite often. It has served me well. In fact, just earlier I was taking extensive pictures of the snow fall in southern California's Antelope Valley region. Amazing coverage and rarity (and on my birthday too!). The camera is in good condition and is a few years old. When I transfer to a university, I'm going to buy my own.

i have a couple of cameras but two of them are a couple of years old. i have a brand new one though... i use my camera all the time. usually daily for the most part... i take a lot pictures. i want to be a photographer but i'm really shy.. and thats kind of hard i guess, well, when it comes to dealing with people that is.. so i do a lot more wild life and stuff.. thats my favorite.
