PhotoMann recommends a number of photography products which are available from B&H Photo in New York. I have been a happy customer of theirs for over 20 years. You can trust them to provide great service at a fair price.
The Canon 5D is an exceptional 12.8 megapixel full frame D-SLR. This is currently PhotoMann's primary body for shooting around the world. It's highly recommended!
The Canon 40D is an excellent choice for anyone who wants an outstanding camera but can't afford/justify the expense of the 5D.
The newly released Canon XSi is an excellent entry-level D-SLR featuring a 12.1 megapixel sensor, live view LCD, integrated sensor cleaning function and more. Check it out!
The Canon G9 is a power house packed into a compact body. It's a 12.1 megapixel camera with a 6x optical zoom with image stabilization. It offers most of the same functionality of most D-SLR to include Program (P), Aperture-priority (Av), and Shutter-priority (Tv), and Manual (M) modes. It also shoots RAW for ultimate creative control. This is PhotoMann's camera of choice when not carrying his SLR.
A shirt-pocket size 10 megapixel compact camera with 5x optical zoom and image stabilization. The Canon SD890IS has an optical viewfinder which is critical for taking pictures in bright sunlight. This is requently omitted from compact cameras.
For Nikon Fans: The Nikon D300 SLR Digital Camera is an excellent 12.3 megapixel choice. It offers a DX format sensor and a 3" live view LCD.
The Nikon D80 is a great 10.2 megapixel entry level D-SLR for those that must buy a Nikon.
