Default And what do you use to shoot?

What do you guys use to shoot photos of your cars? DSLR, point&shoot, SLR?

And for the DSLR guys, any optimum settings you've found useful in the past for shooting cars?

I'm using a Canon 30D with 28-135mm.

Nikon d40 with either an 18-55mm or 55-200mm VR lens.

I would maybe turn filters to Vibrant, shoot with the car in shade or lit area...sun can bleach out or over expose your shot.

Canon 40D, 17-55 F2.8IS (just got this about a month ago), 17-40 F4L (might be selling this), 70-200 F4L, 50F1.8. I'm still learing how to use all this cr*p.

Don't forget its the person behind the camera not the equipment that gets you the great shots.
