How many digital cameras have you had?

Plan-B · 25th of April 2007 (Wed)

I know this has probably been done, but I went back a few pages and didn't see a thread like this so I figured I'd give a shot at starting a new one.

I'm a bit of a gadget freak. My friends used to claim I changed wireless phones as often as my underwear. (No, I didn't.) But when I first learned about digital camera technology, my "I gotta have it" genes took over. I'm sure I'll get beat, but here's my list as near as I can remember in order of acquisition.

Casio QV-10
Agfa ePhoto (can't remember model)
Apple Quicktake 150
Olympus D200L
Kodak DC210
Sony Mavica FD-5 (recorded on floppy disks!)
Epson PhotoPC 700
Canon S20
Nikon CoolPix 775 (still have)
Kyocera S5r (still have)
Nikon CoolPix 885
Nikon Coolpix 5400 (still have)
Canon SD550 (still have)
Canon Rebel XT (still have)

Looking back, there was quite a bit of overlap. The most I had in my possession at once was 5 (I own 5 now). A lot of them were crap, mostly cause I used to work retail and the purchases were based on killer markdowns. I only recently made the leap to SLR last December.

rhys · 25th of April 2007 (Wed)

Olympus C820L (sold after 6 months)
Olympus C200Zoom (returned to shop with faulty CCD after 2 days)
Olympus C200Zoom (sold after 6 months)
Nikon 885 (returned to shop due to faulty CCD after 2 days)
Nikon 995 (still have)
Nikon 3100 (still have)
Canon S1 IS (Still have)
Canon XT (Still have)
Canon 30D (Still have).

I too have 5 digital cameras. It goes something like this:
3100 in my pocket sometimes
S1 IS for school functions where video might be needed.
995 - hardly ever used. I think I used it lst about 2 years ago. It's good for macro though.
XT used as a handy out and about body
30D not really got into this yet.

cosworth · 25th of April 2007 (Wed)

3 digital P&S
300D
Canon 1Ds
Canon 1Ds

I still own a 1Ds and a Canon A300 from that.

Jon · 25th of April 2007 (Wed)

Kodak DC260 (donated to Peke Rescue)
Kodak DC290 (still have & use)
HP Pocket Cam for Jornada
D60 (still have & use)

Aiptek something (still have; usable if need be)
Palm Zire (died)
ZR70 (does stills & frame captures, so it counts; still have & use)
20D (still have & use)
5D (still have & use)
A620 (still have & use)
Pantech C120 camera phone (still have & use)
SD600 (wife's, my call)
So 13, still have & use 8 or 9.

Vortex99 · 25th of April 2007 (Wed)

Rebel Xti
December 2006, can we say rookie! Having a great time with it, and that's what counts. I think

SuzyView · 25th of April 2007 (Wed)

Seven.

No, eight.

But I only use 6

Billginthekeys · 25th of April 2007 (Wed)

two P&S
20D
and 1D
so thats 4

calicokat · 25th of April 2007 (Wed)

Lets see

DSLR's
10D
350D
20D
30D
1D
5D
1DMIINx3
1DsMII

Others
Olympus 1-4mp's

HighPlainsPhotographer · 25th of April 2007 (Wed)

1. El cheapo Fuji - which I still own

.
2. Olympus C8080 - sold it on eBay for close to what I paid for it!
3. My current camera, a Rebel XT

R_Metzel · 25th of April 2007 (Wed)

3 P&S and 2 DSLR's. I shot mostly film camera's until the last 5 years. Still shoot with B&W film.

EOS Man · 25th of April 2007 (Wed)

Mine:
Canon Powershot A5 (stolen)
Canon S100 Digital Elph (still here, rarely used)
Canon S500 Digital Elph (Recently stolen)
2 X Canon SD550 Digital Elph (one returned, the other stolen)
Panasonic Lumix FX50 (main PnS)
Canon EOS 30D

I am probably a careless person and/or have bad luck to have so many cameras stolen

. From buying my 30D and craving more lenses, I have concluded that I shouldn't have bought so many PnS's and should have started with a dSLR much earlier. Had I done that, I would have a small army of L-glass today (see gear list). Regrets, regrets

Eagle · 25th of April 2007 (Wed)

A40 - 300D - 20D
Four 35mm SLR's before that
Multiple 35mm P&S and other cheapies before that

Mark_Cohran · 25th of April 2007 (Wed)

Good concept for a thread:

Olympus D620 (sold)
Olympus D620L (gave to my niece)
Canon C2020Z (sold)
Canon D30 (sold)
Canon S230 (still use)
Canon D60 (sold)
Canon 10D (still use - personal)
Canon 20D (still use - personal)
Canon 1DMKIIN (still use - business)
Canon 5D (still use - business)
Canon S2 IS (gave to my daughter)
Canon S3 IS (for light hiking)

I guess that's a total of 12.

Canon D60
Canon 10D

Canon powershot 500 with it’s whopping ½ megapixel sensor.
Nikon E700 No longer functional
JVC

Cant remember model number
Nikon E2n – Work camera. Loved it but boy did it weigh a ton.
HP Photosmart 850 – Rolled down a mountain bouncing all the way, retrieved it after it fell about 100-150 feet and it still works perfectly.
Mustek DV2000
HP Photosmart 940 – Gave to daughter
Nikon 8700 – My current carry everywhere camera.
Canon 5D – Current work camera
Canon XT – Gave to son
Canon XTi – My current hiking/traveling camera

There are three additional Kodak P/S cameras that I had for a short period but as those were purchased for relatives, I’m not counting them in my list.
