I have two digital cameras: The first is a Canon SX100 with a 10X optical zoom that serves as my favourite camera for macro work. The other camera is a Nikon D7000 body and a variety of lenses that I am always adding to. Although quite heavy, this camera is nice for action photography as well as long-distance shots of birds.
