Film-wise it's the Shen-Hao HZX45-II. All my cameras are my favorites, though. If you're interested in cool cars, make sure to check out Billetproof over in Antioch this September. Plenty of fun for both boys and girls... http://billetproof.com/upcomingshows/california/ Digitally, right now I’m having a lot of fun with the tiny Ricoh GRD2. Film-wise it’s the Shen-Hao HZX45-II.

Sexier than the RED SWC he dug up? nnnnnnno.
