What gear do you shoot with?

Just wondering what gear we shoot with, Canon or Nikon or Sony etc ….and if so why?

I am most definitely a Canon sheep as I find the colours are very intense and I need to spend time calming them down and toning prior to release of an image.

So come on – spill the beans – what gear rocks your boat?
