    Samsung NX 2000, does the job nicely. Daily i use IPhone 5s as it is always at hand, and only because of that.

    This quote is bang on. For a while I tried to keep my main camera on me all the time, but I'm just out of the habit at the moment.

    I've got an Xperia phone, so photos are pretty reasonable, but you're still pretty limited with what you can do with a phone and a tiny sensor.

    I use a Panasonic G7 Micro-four-thirds mirrorless camera for anything more than logging my electric meter readings! Far smaller and lighter than a full blown SLR but just as capable, if not more.

    Got a range of Canon compacts from A to G series... don't use them anymore, I give them to my son to play with. I use a Samsung GE7 as the daily...

    Re: QOTW: Which camera do you use to take photos?

    Fujifilm X-T2 the best APS-C mirrorless camera ever made to date simple
    also superior lenses are the Fuji made lenses just my opinion yes of course I'm bias because I use Fuji X-T2 lol

    NO BUT SERIOUSLEY There are a lot of good cameras out there but Fuji is the best see cant help it????????

    D3300 (usually with Sigma 18-35) when I want to take "proper" pictures, but if I had a time machine I'd have got a 5300 instead. The focus system is too basic and PC control is severely limited on the D3x00 series (I'd like to use it with BackyardNikon).

    Phone camera (Moto G4) for quick snaps as it's always with me.

    Modded 450d and QHY163m for Astrophotography.

    Still use a Canon 5D MkII with a few L series lenses for proper stuff.
    Galaxy note phone for everything else as it's usually with me like the car keys.

    Re: QOTW: Which camera do you use to take photos?

    Lets see, a Fujifilm is quickly becoming my everyday camera, although it's fairly large, when i need something smaller and lighter i'll take an EOS-M (1) instead, which I also use for hiking trips as it's got a good sensor and is lightweight (although my old Sigma 10-20 lens spoils that slightly)
    If I want to go really lightweight, and not an expensive loss on foreign holidays I'll take a Canon S90, which has RAW and full manual controls, so it can just about hold it's own, although the smallish sensor means low light isn't great.
    For specific events or photography trips I use a 6D, although for sports photography I still tend to use my 40D.

    I also still keep a bunch of film cameras around for purely enjoying photography, and the more tactile nature of it, I've slimmed this down a lot now but use a Yashica 24 TLR for medium-format, my SLR of choice is an Olympus OM-1 and I have an Olympus XA2 for really compact needs

    At the moment a Nikon D3200 with Nikkor 70-300 VR ED FX, Nikkor 18-35 ED FX, and an old Nikkor 50mm AI f1.8. I want to switch to an FX body in the not too distant future, the D3200 lacks a few features I'd like and is also a bit too small for my hands.

    Nikon P900 for personal use. The zoom is just amazing. It lacks in many ohter areas though. doesnt do too well in low light, limited to 28 mins per video, and no way to remotely control the camera in a good way.

    And HTX One A9 phone for work. Takes quite good pictures and video. Havent notished any downsides.

    Re: QOTW: Which camera do you use to take photos?

    Recently got myself a Sony A6000, beautiful compact-ish DSLR. The focus and shutter is very fast coming from a Sony NEX C3. I can easily recommend this camera.

    Unfortunately I don't use it as often as I like, as the saying goes "the best camera is the one you have on you". This is usually my Nexus 6P and its a good camera but can be quite slow processing photos if auto HDR is left on. Looking forward to possibly upgrading to the Pixel 2 at the end of the year.
