Well before digital I used nikon the days of film but being a gadget addict I moved over to digital since then I have been a canon man, cameras are very much like cars they all do the same basic things the more you spend the more you get what made me choose canon over nikon, I liked the way it felt in my hand, mac or pc spend the same money on a pc and get the quality of the mac I use both and I must say I now favour the mac the fact I use parallels to run xp, vista and windows 7 on it good for training switching between mac photoshop and windows photoshop on the same machine a great idea.
So hardware dell 17" laptop, 21.5" quad core I mac photoshop CS 3, 4, 5
Camera wares cannon rebel 6mp, canon 20d 8mp and my favourite canon 1d mk3(I like motor sport and wildlife photography) unlike the bad press the early mk1 got I found setting up the camera to my own personal needs works for me really well I use a 10-24mm lens for those wide angled shots a 20-45mm l lens 70-200mm and a300mm prime also have various kit lens as well
