What is Your Camera Setup of Choice and Why?

← →


A while back, we did a gear post featuring filmers talking about their favorite cameras and why, which went over really well. Ever since then, I’ve wanted to do something similar with photographers. The time has come, and I’ve begun to tackle this project.

This is part one, and these features will be delivered in chunks of 10 people. Also, seeing as there is a whole lot of photographers out there, I would go crazy trying to pick the people to feature each time. My solution to insanity prevention was to put all the names in a hat, and have my girl literally pick them each time. So there you have it… Don’t get mad if you don’t see someone you feel should be in here, chances are they will be in one of the next ones.

For this feature, I asked each photographer:

What is Your Camera Setup of Choice and Why?

Click on through to see what Devon Hutchins, Hoang Tran, Jeff Zielinski, Andrew White, Keith Terra, David Leep, Chad Moore, Brian Yeagle, Devin Feil and Walter Pieringer had to say.

    Why does it seem like BMX photographers prefer Canon so much over Nikon? Is it just because of the HD video capabilities that the 5d Mk2 is so much more popular than the D700, even though the d700 is faster and (i’ve heard) performs better in low-light?

    @Tabor

    I believe that Canon still outsells Nikon so statistically if you just grabbed someone off the street they’d have a Canon. Also, Fudger once told me that the “shop equipment” at Ride was all Canon stuff so that if you were on staff there, that’s pretty much just what you use. I’ve always held that you use what you like (I use Canon but this has more to do with my father having switched from Nikon to Canon in the 80s so that’s what I know) but there really are no bad DSLRs anymore.

    Might Defgrip create some content based around designers in the industry?

    such an awesome piece. as mentioned above, the appreciation for all the photographers and videographers on this site makes it what it is. awesome.

  • Jazz

    Dolecki, Ricky A, Beddows, Rutger Pauw, George Marshall, Jeff Alan, Sandy Carson, and Joe Rich all need to be on this asking list!

    Thank you Degrip.
    I really like this feature.
    ps: I also like the idea about designers in the BMX industry. I guess the combination of creativity and bmx can and will lead to lots of interesting content. For now I’m just truly happy that you guys are featuring the photogs.

    You guys should do a part 2 one for video camera setup of choice!!!
