Enough? Hah. What I have and use:
GR-D II, all the accessories. Goes everywhere.
D200 (recently upgraded from D70s when the prices dropped!), collection of primes, 70-200VR.
Nikon EM, which I love dearly. Small, no hassle, enough manual control, feels nice. And my beloved 20mm AF works as a wide angle on it.
I'm in the process of resurrecting my Bender Photographic kit-build 4" x 5" ...
I *want* a real film rangefinder. Trying to resist at the moment.
Does a Coolscan V count as a camera?

Not counting my old silver cameras (lots of them, but all retired), I have a Nikon D200 with 17-55/2.8 (my "lumbago outfit"), a Digilux 2, and now a D-lux 3.
Afraid the D200 will be used less and less, mainly for dogs/kids and similar UFO´s.
The D-lux 3 is a new love that´s almost always with me.
The Digilux 2 has been temporarily retired while I learn the D-lux, but I think I´ll get back to using it a lot again. Being able to instantly preset the zoom, even when the power is off, is great (this is one of the weak points of the D-lux), and it is far easier to hold and to use in cold weather.
Yet another one? Well, the GRD II might still come my way; very impressed with what I see in this forum. And of course the M8, whenever I strike oil in my backyard....

At least two of every thing. I only shoot in stereo now once I got turned onto it a couple of years ago. Non stereo images are just half done. :toocool:

It surely does....:grin:
For the tech geeks: Canon 5D, DeWijis 6.5mm separation lens 3.6:1 macro f/90 . Canon MT 24ex twin flash.
You need to cross your eyes slightly to see this as a stereo.
That is: cross your eyes till you see three images and look at the center image only while holding your eyes crossed.The scale speed that this little guy moves is at about 125 mph.

cool. The other trick for seeing this is to put your finger midway between your eye and the computer screen. Focus on your finger, then remove your finger without changing your eye gaze.It surely does....:grin:

As a reformed chemist, I spent many an hour resolving stereo chemical structures. It becomes easier but can give you a massive headache. Oh wait, maybe that was the ether

Oh Excellent! I feel much better about the few camera I have compared to the rest of you!
Canon 5D, 40D, 20D converted to IR
Pentax Optio S (3mp camera that fits inside an Altoids tin), Optio S5z
I'm sure I'm forgetting something... Ahh, camera phone I never use *hahaha*

Currently use:
Olympus OM-2N (2 of these) - This is my currently most used camera. I most often use it with an OM 40mm f/2 lens.
Bessa R3A - I really enjoy the 1:1 finder on this camera and use it with an M-Hexanon 50/2. However, when I feel the urge to shoot film, I almost always reach for the OM-2N; so I may be selling the Bessa soon. I don't like to keep around gear that I'm not using. Just doesn't feel right to me that a great camera should go unused.
Canon 5D - I mostly use this camera for low light. Most often with the EF 50mm f/1.4. Otherwise, it's mainly been 35mm film for me lately.
Plan to get:
Sigma DP1 and Ricoh GRD II - Will compare these and subsequently sell one.
Olympus E-420 and ZD 25mm f/2.8
Of a number of digital cameras that I have sold or given away, the two I probably enjoyed most were the Leica Digilux 2 and the Ricoh GX100. Both truly great cameras that didn't exactly fit my needs.
