It's a Canon EOS 400D (I think it's called the Digital Rebel in the US). It was the best we could afford at the time, and we tossed up between a Canon and the equivalent Nikon - the Canon won because I have quite small hands, and it 'sat' better in the hand for me. All my lenses are either kit or relatively cheap ones, because we bought the camera etc when I wasn't working. One day I'll be able to afford some better kit...
Once I've taken the photos I post-process in Photoshop; you can't make a bad photo into a good one with Photoshop, but the right crop and some careful dodging and burning can sometimes get a photo from almost-there to there, if you get what I mean. A big part of the fun of photography for me is opening up the files on the computer and seeing what I've got and what I can make of it :)
