Let's talk cameras: this is the camera/lens I use ~75% of the time. Canon 10D with a Sigma 30mm Æ’1.4 lens.
The Canon 10D is a 6.3 megapixel digital SLR (single lens reflex) camera with an APS-C (Advanced Photo System type-C) sized sensor. The 10D was introduced in 2003 which makes it about 7 years old at this point.
The APS-C sized sensor is about 63% of the size of a normal 35mm (or, full frame) sensor. Smaller sensors are easier and cheaper to manufacture which is why APS-C digital cameras tend to be 1/4 the cost of their full frame brethren.
The 10D has all the high-end features and settings you would expect. It's also built like a brick shithouse. Seriously, it's a damn tank.
Attached to the 10D is a Sigma 30mm Æ’1.4 lens. Sigma makes some great lenses and they tend to be cheaper than their Canon equivalents. The maximum aperture of 1.4 lets tons of light in so you can shoot in very low light situations without the need for a flash. I tend to shoot with the Sigma 30mm fully open at Æ’1.4 most of the time. I know there's a sweet spot for sharpness at around Æ’8.0 but I just love having a super shallow DoF.
There are occasional focus issues (i.e.; it doesn't focus exactly where I want it to), but I'm willing to overlook that and just shoot more frames than I need.
Protip: I was able to get a second 10D body off craigslist for $160. Couple that with a $95 Canon 50mm Æ’1.8 lens and you can take photos for $250 that other cameras can only dream of. Huge apertures rule!

A small print from last summer staying for ages on my living room table. Together with my TV glasses (they're just plastics...), isn't that meta data?
