Canon EOS 500D

I think the point of that book is that the best camera is the one Chase Jarvis has with him, not the one I have with me :)

I've only got the iPhone 3g and while it's clearly one of the best smartphones available at the time, the camera leaves something to be desired. I'm sure he used the 3gS?

I think he was probably the first to get his hands on it. I have the 3G too - don't see any reason to upgrade it. I think I can count the pictures I've taken with it on one hand - I always have either the 50D or G9 or at least my old Cybershot with me.
 
I've usually got one of my 400D's with me - the best camera being the dSLR you have with you. :D

best cam for sports (D3 too)
there is no such thing as a best cam
a 4x5 view camera is the best cam for architecture & landscape you can use any of the smaller formats as well
MF (digital and transparencies) cams & D3x/5dII/1DsMKIII are best for portrait, studio... but I've seen Top Billing model shoot done on Canon 40D, so there!!!
1DmkIII/D3 are best for sports no reason you can't use a 7D/50D/D300s
5DII/D700 are best for events (of course you can use the above mentioned ones, or cheaper ones)
for walk-around lens, what beats a 18-200VR? - hook that up to a small crop cam and you have everything you need for a photo trip / vacation
maybe a 35mm cam with B&W film is best for certain types of photography - who knows?

whatever works for the job

Crap, I bought a D90... :/
 
Well I'm still going strong on my Canon 350D and anyone can say what they want but it takes AWESOME photos! I was extremely lucky to get an exceptionally good copy of the kit lens with is super sharp in the right aperture range! And I sell quite a bit of pics on Shutterstock and Dreamstime, all done with my kitlens and cheapo Sigma zoom!

In the end its about how you use the tool not you tools stats that are important :D
 
i sold my 400D with 3 lenses, flash, extended battery pack etc, wasnt using it enough cause work got too hectic and it was collecting dust and wasting money.

Dont know what ill pick up next. Anyone wanna sponsor me a Hasselblad digital? :)

Sharpness is the least of that lenses problems. :)
