What camera did you use to take photos of your bike?
After reading numerous threads and pictures, I've noticed that many people have extremly good quality shots of their bike - some almost as good as what they show on website stores. So just wondering - are bike junkies also camera junkies?
I've already spent $4k+ on bike stuff over the past year, also love golf so another expensive hobby. Used to take pictures a lot, but kind of dropped that hobby, although I'm eyeing a Nikon D80 with the Nikkor 18-200mm lens. That's another $1.3k...sigh...
What camera do you guys have?

True enough... it's really about the size of your wallet. There are shots that only money can buy.
I use my P&S digicams most of the time, but when the need arises... out comes the Pentax 10D. Some of my lenses are 25+ years old. Pentax digital SLRs are about the only ones that are truly backward compatible with old manual focus lenses.

Canon 30D, with an assortment of lenses. 24-70mm 2.8L, 10-22mm, and a 50mm 1.8.
It isn't about the camera.... more a function of the glass.

1DMk2N + 24-70L + 580EX (w/diffuser). Other shots were taken with my brother's Nikon D2X + 17-55 f/2.8.
I agree with others that a simple Rebel can do wonders if paired up with good glass, knowledge of lighting, and of course, some post processing.
