I am using a Nikon D7000 and most of the time use my 40mm macro lens for food photos.
If I am real lazy then I use my Sony Point and Shoot.  ;)

Last year I bought one of those Nikon D5200 cameras. When you take the time to learn all of the stuff you can do with it it is a wonderful camera. It is the bottom of the DSLR camer that Nikon makes and there are many sales on these types of cameras. I have taken some really nice photos with it but must times when I am in a hurry I grab my I-phone and snap a picture. Computer software does some amazing things for bad photos also  ;D

We got the Nikon CoolPix P520 for Christmas.

It has a lot of flexibility for manual adjustments - which I like experimenting with - but it also has a number of automatic settings for goof -proof shots like I NEED.  It also shoots video in full 1080p HD. 
After I have the pics I want, I transfer the memory card to the computer, download, and they are ready to post...way yonder easier than the "old way" I had to do it.

The one negative is...I can't make any phone calls with it.           8)

When I'm feeling lazy I use my Iphone and tapatalk to upload... quick and easy. When I want to take the time on cooks I really want to document well I use a Nikkon D3200 and photobucket.
