How many different cameras are you using?

Just curious: How many different cameras are you actively using? Not counting those collecting dust in some storage, or those that happen to come with your phone or tablet.

I use 3 different cameras at the moment: my m43 for general shooting, a compact FF for landscapes and "special" shots, and an IR-converted m43 for, well, IR photography. I also have a waterproof P&S (Olympus Tough) for diving etc, but that doesn't happen on a regular basis, so not counting it as active.

Just wondering if I am average or what. Share what you do and why.

I used to have a bunch of other cams and got rid of most of them.

That was 3 years ago. Liked the E-PM2 so much that I got rid of all the others!

Does that include the camera on my phone?

Thanks for your reply! Interesting that you keep both the GX7 and 8 around.

Four (I didn't vote because I am not a semi-pro):

Now be nice... I wanted to lighten this up a bit.

E-M1.1 main cam.

E-M10.1 secondary light weight for occasional travel.

Pany G3 converted to IR for when the fancy strikes me.

Perhaps I should have said four, Galaxy S4 for when I don't have my mFTs with me.

If that is a camera you are using all the time - yes. I have taken shots with my S7 here and there but I don't take it along as my camera, so I would not count it. Great to scan receipts though.

Thanks all for the votes and responses...

I still have a Nikon D200 and a Panasonic GF1. Most of the time I use only my E-M5 (man, what old cameras I have!).

I still have some really nice Nikon telephotos, so sometimes I shoot with a lens like my Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 mounted to the D200, and a wider lens mounted to my E-M5.

At other times I might shoot with the 12-40mm f/2.8 on my E-M5 and a telephoto, fisheye, or prime mounted to my GF1.

I think two at a time is about all I want to manage. My ideal would be a PEN-F and an EM1-II

I don't know if a smartphone counts, but sometimes I will use my Smartphone in a pinch.

6 different camera bodies: GM1, GX85, PEN-F, Nikon 1 V1, Nikon D90, Olympus TG-4

Nikon V1 when I need to take pics of my gears for sale on craigslist or online posting.  My son owns it - I gave it to him when I moved to m43.

Nikon D90 + f1.8 when I want a bit more (shallower) DOF.

TG-4 when I out in the snow/sea/shower(rain)

I use more than one body in one camera system. M4/3rds allows the use of different bodies with lenses of the appropriate size. So I use a GX8 with larger lenses, and a GM5 for every day with smaller ones. The  7-14mm 4 is on my GX7 most of the time.  For the trip I am on right now, I threw the GF1 with 20mm in the bag. That may be four camera bodies, but it is one system.

F.

Looks like there are more IR conversions out there than I thought. Odd that there are relatively few images popping up on this site, even in the B&W threads.

One for me usually.

I also have an E-M1, soon to be sold.

And an E-M5 which my girlfriend uses, which also acts as a backup.

I'm using a Panasonic G3 on a daily basis for product shots, an Olympus EPL2 (because I love it), a Pentax K1000 35mm film camera (because I also love film) and an old Panasonic zs35 that I found in like new condition at a yard sale for $3 (because it was only 3 bucks).
