I actually only got my 1st digital camera about 3 years ago
I started out with a Canon S80 (8MP)
It was small and packed a lot of features

I then bought a Canon G9
It's a little bulkier than the S80
and a little more "rugged" frame it seems like

I have a 5 dollar thrift shop video camera tripod I use for my outdoor pics
I also have Vanguard table top sized tripod
It's really nice and compact

For lighting I use a variety of fluorescent lamps
I have some with clamps and goose-necks
And I have this vintage lamp setup I got at another thrift shop
It takes 4 bulbs
I think it was made in the 50's!!!



I use these felt pad pieces I get at Michaels Art Supply store
Sometimes I use different backdrops
That is one of my weaknesses is my lack of backdrops
I gotta get me some bamboo sheets ;)

I don't have a light box
That is one of the things I was hoping I could get some tips on from you guys
Build one on the cheap...hehehehe

I haven't gotten a DSLR yet
I kinda like the compactness of the point and shoots
And I don't really have a whole lot of money for the lenses :(
I might try and buy one next year sometime

I have pretty cool little lens cleaner that clips on my camera bag


I need to get one of those external flashes
The flash on my G9 is weak!!
