Up until February of this year, I was using a Nikon FM-10 SLR. I have since switched over to digital and now I'm using the Nikon D40 DSLR. It's the easiest digital SLR I've used. I do have a little cheapo Minolta point and shoot film camera, that I'll use if there is a risk of danger to the camera. I don't care if the Minolta gets broken.
The girlfriend uses the Canon Rebel XT digital. It does well for daytime shots, but she struggles with night and lowlight situations.
