When I shot film I had one for slides, & one for prints, or 1 with ASA 100 & one with 400, plus another older manual one I rarely used. Now I have one specifically for underwater use, one for abusive conditions, and 2 more because I simply want them for their unique features, crop for wildlife, FF for portrait style stuff. Fortunately for me I am old enough to have already accumulated all the other stuff most of us think we need including enough cars to last far more years than I will.

1) 1DmrkII 2) Rebel XTi 1) Digital Rebel IR mod 2) EOS A2 1) EOS 1n

4 in the family, we are looking at another DSLR, either a 40D or another XTi (wife and kids don't like the heavy 1 series bodies) wouldn't mind getting another original digital rebel to do another IR mod

Rebel XTi
Sony Cybershot DSC-S60
Canon SD700IS
Samsung M510
Nokia N96

Fortunately (?) the Rebel's it in terms of DSLRs until it breaks and I upgrade to whatever succeeds the 40D.

The last time I used my P&S was to take glamour shots of my Rebel after I got it O_o

I use my cell phone cameras to take photos of things I encounter randomly and don't happen to have a real camera on me at the time.

Have not just a DSLR and a P&S. Have also a mobile phone camera 3.2 megapixel ones that I use more often than the P&S. Strange but true.

Darnit...hit the wrong vote category because I wasn't thinking P&S even though I was upset that you didn't have "2 - one DSLR one film SLR."

Anyway, I have 4...

I realized that both the 3 and more qualify!
I have expensive, non-pro cameras!!!

note: I consider expensive by the fact that my cheapest digital camera I bought new, cost more than my first two film camera's combined.

I didn't vote because the terms "pro" and "expensive" have no accepted meaning.

Is a 20D used by a wedding shooter a "pro" camera? How about a 1DsMk3 used to shoot one's cats? And where is the "expensive" line crossed? The vast majority of the population would say somewhere before $500. Many of us would say above $2000. And some would say $1 less than whatever 1Ds body Canon happens to be selling at the moment.

My family has a 5D, 40D, 350D, E-410, A70, F30, a half dozen film bodies/cameras, and a few cell phone cameras. My wife uses the Fuji and all the DSLRs except the 5D. I use 'em all. Technically, the 5D and 350D are "pro" cameras, as they've both been used professionally. The rest haven't, yet.

I just thought of this today, while taking kinda trivial pics with a professional camera: Back in the old days of film, most people I knew (not professional photographers) had a camera, and that was it. Now, everyone has several cars, and TVs, and cameras, of course. True? let the polling begin!!!


I don't think the number of cameras people owned has changed much in the last 30 years. The people on these forums represent a very select group of photography enthusiasts. This same group has always had multiple cameras. I still remember seeing guys in the 70s with a couple of Nikon F cameras dangling around their necks.

What has changed is that photography is much more affordable. A Nikon F in the 70s was around $1000 (a nice Corvette was about $4000 and gas $0.35/gal). Then there was the film and processing which could easily overshadow the cost of the camera. Photography now is much less expensive.

Two DSLRs: 40D and Rebel XTi
One Film SLR: Elan 7NE
Two P&Ss: Olympus C-5050 and C-3030

Granted, the P&Ss are never used anymore. But they still work, technically.

I successfully sold 3 out of my 4 Contax film cameras and I currently use the 1DsII with the 5D as backup, along with a nice collection of Zeiss glass.

10 bodies. Too many lenses.

1) A540 Powershot Dig P/S
Used quite a lot for quick and dirty pictures.

2) Drebel XT plastic camera. 2 Oly OM primes.
Used occasionally. Good for machine gunning lightning, and astrophotography.

3) Bronica SQ-Ai
4) Bronica SQ-A
3 lenses, 3 backs.
Both Bronicasaurs in use!

5) Canon T-90
6) Canon T-90
7) Canon A-1
8) Canon T-80 (Autofocus! ) with 35~75mm zoomie.
About 20 FD lenses
All 4 FD bodies in active use.
The T80 and Powershot are my 'take it everywhere' cameras.

9) Graphic View 4x5
Great fun. I need to shoot this more, it's been several months...

10) Yashica D TLR
Decent little camera. Closet queen since Bronica toys arrived.

OK, I'll admit it. I have no clue how many cameras I have and I'm not even a collector. But, if you think I'm sick, you ought to see my collector friends' attics.

The good news is that my wife has no idea how many I have either.

Good luck.
