Nikon D3100. Though this picture is heavily edited, because I don't have any good lighting tools. But this camera is probably very good in professional people's hands. I myself kind of suck.

Bumping this thread. Here's a picture of me trying to capture a picture of myself using only a cellular phone and a mirror. I do not know how other people do it. This picture was to show off my new hat too. I love this hat so fucking much....

Ignore the black borders...I have no idea why they are there and I don't really give a damn to fix it.

I personally don't understand why taking a picture of oneself in the mirror has become a fad. What I can understand is that the good people might do it solely because they might not find any other practical way to get a picture of themself taken, or they are curious to see why it's so popular and don't intend on doing it again; but there are always other creative methods. One thing I often do is velcro my phone (if my camera isn't at hand) to a surface (I have velcro bands, they come in handy far more often than you would think) and record video. I slowly pan up and down, left and right, so that when I review the video I can pick out the frame I like best. Obviously, I use my actual camera with a stand if available.

If you want to go a little further, I would, in almost all circumstances, also advise upping the contrast to make a photo look less crummy. Sure, all these steps take maybe two extra minutes, but I find that it's worth it. My phone doesn't even have a very good camera (not a whole lot better than yours), and with a few touch-ups they will end up looking finer than most raw images shot by a camera ten times the price.

Also, don't forget to get your camera to focus. They're extremely fiddly sometimes, but there almost always ends up being a way. I've never tried it, but there are probably apps that allow you to control the focus manually.

Not that I post pictures of myself or things of the sort for its own sake, I usually edit them into something surreal, trace them for practicing my 2D animation and whatnot.

It's a shame Ad's username doesn't show in orange. That was the prime giveaway for me even before I began to read the content of the post :P
