Not sure if this counts; but I picked up a Nex 3N to compliment my 6D. On walkabouts; carry both with different effective focal lengths; and the Nex should be good for those times a DSLR is just too big.

I chose the Nex over a 100d/sl1 due purely to size; I don't plan on building a large lens collection.

I can offer an unusual set of bodies.

30D
+Praktica BX20
+Dead Praktica with all the guts ripped out and a razor blade cemented where the film should be.. allowed me to focus camera on a telescope using the foucault test technique before swapping in the BX20 for imaging. (http://www.telescope-optics.net/foucault_te​st.htm (external link))

I now use an Atik 383L+


30D, 18~55mm, 100mmf2.0, various Praktica, Atik 383L+ mono & filter wheel, 12" imaging telescope

I have two bodies, a 1D Mark II and a Mark III. Looking at getting another Mark III so I can use the Mark II as a remote.

I think a better question would have been "does anyone use 2 bodies at the same time?"

airbutchie - Joe was definitely right about adding contrast...

I own 2 bodies, 6D and 1100D. But still I cant imagine myself use more than two bodies, since I dont have more than two hands. :)


You are what you eat - I dont remember eating a photographer.

I may get my 3rd body by 2015, (probably 5D mark III)

2 DSLR's (3 of you count the M), and 2 Canon EOS film bodies at the moment. Looking at possibly getting number digital #3 this summer.

I do, I've been using my Rebel and my 7D this winter shooting dog sled demo's. My L lens is on one body and my long lens is on the other one. Makes it easy switch on the fly.

I'm up to 3 as of Tuesday :) But from now on the M will pretty much just be used as a pocket camera. The plan is to use the X-E1 as my everyday out and about leisure camera and use the 6D as my portrait/landscape/pai​d work camera.

I only have my 5D3 and rent/loan a body when needed for events.

I keep planning to pick up a second body, but it never happens. I would rather buy another lens versus another body which would sit around 90% of the time unused.

Each to his own but I want a 1D X to complement the 1D Mark IV lying around.

I thought about the 200/2 but I'd only use it a few times of the year.

many of my sports tog colleagues use 2 and some 3, a big prime on 1 a 70-200 on another and a std zoom on 3rd, no time for changing lenses during a match.


there are 3 types of people in this world, those that can count and those that can't
