The first one I generally grab is my F100 with the 50 1.8 or the 35-80D, but it's away at the shop.  :mad: I have been using the F with the 50mm 1.4 for my B/W work a lot more lately as well. If I need big negs, I'll grab the Kowa Six first. It's never let me down yet. Not to mention, after lugging it around those Nikons feel lighter than heck!

My "Go To" camera, meaning the camera I am most confident in using and producing consistent results, would be the Canon 350D most commonly mated with the Sigma 17-70 zoom.     I know I'll have the overhead in the highlights shooting RAW and I know that 99% of the problems are photographer related.  It's the family camera, the travel camera, the snapshot camera. 

But I can't always carry it (I don't carry it to and from work, for example) but I really don't have a single "go to" camera in those situations.  I've used my digital Canon A650, an Olympus Stylus Epic, a Canonet Q17 GIII, a Holga...it all just depends what mood I'm in I guess. Smiley

I have a small, plastic Fuji camera which I keep in the glove compartment. It's a "point-and-shoot" with a pop-up flash. It is not digital and old as the hills. It works well.

Go to?  No time to load film, choose ISO ratings, meter, set focus? but want reliable IQ?

Answer: the D200 (which I've got) - image quality that's difficult to fault - dials to spin intuitively for aperture and exp. comp.

or the D700 (which I haven't got but wish I had)

pity about the weight and bulk

but then we are only "going to it" ok? not carrying the thing for a few hours?
