Thanks for the reply. I'll probably stay with one. Most of the time you can only use one at a time anyway, right?
Hmmm . . .
I occasionally shoot cityscapes on assignment, or A-B camera/lens tests, with two bodies dual mounted on a large tripod. I've also had occasion to shoot events or weddings with two bodies and lenses around my neck and shoulder, or one on tripod and the other in active mode.
Most often, when I shoot two FF bodies (such as 1Ds3 and 5D2), with 17 TSE and 24 TSE II mounted on each, choosing the final crop with client after the shoot.
I currently only own one Nikon body. But I own four Canon DSLRs, each of a different type, covering three sensor sizes. I choose which camera/cameras and lens/lenses will be appropriate for my needs when the time comes.
Now that I have a D800e, I may find occasion to use it while shooting the 1Ds3. Mix and match. Or I may sell it later and buy the 5DsR and capitalize on the lens assets I have in the Canon camp. The point is, I feel I need/want options, and that no one body, brand or format will do it all for me.
If I HAD to choose, I'd go with one ultra-reliable body and lots of glass, as opposed to multiple bodies and few lenses. The trick is finding one ultra-reliable body that never needs maintenance. Even when I go out with one DSLR, I usually grab a G1X to throw in the bag before walking out the door!
