When I was younger, I thought it was solid to have one good camera at any time, one being all I ever thought I'd need. Then there was my Summer abroad where I finally expanded — but to multiple disposable cameras. Now, as a grown-up geek, I am all about rocking the multiples — and each for its own purpose.
There's the point-and-shoot, which goes with me everywhere in case a photo op comes up; the SLR that I lug around for events where I know I want good photos and for taking my "hobby" photos; the Lomo for its fun, vintage-y effects, and then my Polaroid camera, which I snagged in a panic when I heard that they'd stop making the instant film.
And of course, there are my cameras on my phones, but in the interest of this, I'm not counting them — nor will I count video cameras, because yikes that sends the number up too. So four — I'm a big four girl. Never thought I'd be on a four-camera boat, but here I am.
What about you — do you have multiple cameras?

I'M A CAMERA FIEND (:
1About eleven if you count film versions, eighteen if you count video (which I did even though you didn't)
2Quality range from totally crappy to mildly worth it.
Photographers are way overrated.
Squeeze off a few hundred digital frames then an editor picks the best and the photographer is called the "artist."
where the heck do you guys work, and if so, are they hiring? I can't even afford a decent SLR...
31 DSLR
41 SLR
1 Compact camera
1 Holga
1 Pinhole (selfmade)
10 vintage cameras I got cheap on flea markets or ebay or were presents from my dad, some I use but most are just for display
I agree, Anon! I have one really nice P&S, but it's pretty sizable. I'm trying to save for a smaller "every day" P&S and I would kill for a SLR. Alas, it's not at all in my budget.
5I have four cameras, too...one digital P&S (graduation gift), a film SLR, a film P&S (both belonged to my dad), and a $5 mini Japanese camera that I bought because it was so cute.
6I have a DSLR and a cameraphone, lol
7Loving the image of twin Leicas. If iiic's, then that was the first camera I seriously used (dad let me.) Usual collection in my backpack, * ones are with me all the time. Funny how so many of us received cameras from our fathers.
1 camera cell phone *
81 DSLR - Nikon D60
1 Compact camera - Nikon L12 * (which actually takes decent videos with sound)
1 Holga
1 Diana
1 Zeiss Ikon A 120 bellows (6 x 4.5)
1 Zeiss Ikon C 120 bellows (6 x 9)
Yep, multiple cameras.
9If you count my constantly borrowing a friend's camera:
My Nikon N65 - trusty 35mm camera
10Olympus - point and shoot
Nikon D60 - Friend's camera I keep borrowing
Waterproof disposable cameras for when I go to Six Flags or a waterpark or to the lake or toobing down the river.
1 DSLR
2 SLRs (nikon F2 + N75)
2 medium format (Mamiya 6 + Fuji 675)
1 Holga
2 Lomo
1 digital point & shoot
and video cameras
And, goinglikesixty, unlike you, I can frame, I can light, I can compose, I can direct. I may take 100 frames and an editor only picks one, but if you took a thousand, you couldn't come close to what I do with one shot. It's so f*cking obnoxious to go and knock other people's jobs - CAREERS - just because you... are jealous? I don't know, I can't see what other reason you could have to gloat about your 18 cameras, and then tell me I'm overrated.
11i have 2 nikons (digital + film), 1 canon (p&s), lomos!!!, a yashica rangefinder (so called poor man's leica) and the usual mobile phone camera.
actually i don't really 'care' about the cameras, it's the lenses that i go crazy for! sigh, i wish i was damn bloody rich.
so i could buy a leica M8. sigh.
12the leica m8 is a dream camera of mine too!!!
13At the moment I only have a Polaroid camera (without film). I love photography but since my digital camera broke last month, I have been desperately saving for a new camera. Now I have the dilemma of SLR vs Digital Camera - which to buy?. SLR's have way more options and produce much better pictures but a digital camera would fit much better in my bag. :S
143 - dslr (nikon d80), point & shoot (sony dsc w70), camphone (nokia e66)
