I would get exactly what I have now. Pretty much end of the story because I am extremely happy with what I have.

Use an extra gallon of gas and get more lenses

Starting over with a clean slate right now? Definitely mirrorless. Sony has a mature full-frame line-up of cameras and lenses that is the gold standard in the industry right now. Furthermore, Sony has been innovating at a rapid pace. Sony also produces great APS-C cameras using the same mount. (I think that Canon and the others will get to this point as well in about three years.) I would also look into Micro 4/3 cameras. I would not invest into a DSLR anymore.

I would replace exactly what I use now.

Generally, what do you currently shoot? What would you buy?

My main body is a Nikon D500 with plenty of good glass and a F100 that shares the glass. I also have a Mamiya M645 and a Fuji X-T2. If all that were to evaporate, I would:

Replace the X-T2 with the X-T3, my current 2 travel lenses and probably the 50/1.2 and one of the longer lenses. To replace my MF & D500, I would go with one of the two Fuji MF 50MP bodies currently on the market.

Not sure what I would do for film, but it would probably be a Hassy.

Since M43 is dead prices should be falling like a rock... A OMD Mark ll and 12-100 zoom will give me all the focal length I would need for 95 % of most situations..... One body, one lens, one happy human body with one small kit. !!!

Be careful your insurance company doesn't get this post. They might think you have "pre-determined" something. LoL

I have way too much stuff, so I would probably buy just one camera - probably the latest Fuji.

When I lost my Pentax and Minolta gear I went to Olympus OM. These days I would probably go Nikon F3, Df and D850 with a range of lenses. Assuming I got reasonable value I would also go Fuji MF and a couple of lenses.

Probably replace with newer versions of what I have now.

I shoot Sony A6000 now, and it is still a good camera. But if I were to replace it, I think I would go with a Sony Full-Frame. Good eye-detect, good low-light, and good lenses.

I agree. It's a good thought provoking question.

Too much of "you've got to much time on your hands" statements made.

RB 67 Pro S: would be replaced with an RZ and Leaf back

Calumet 4 X 5: Would replace with same

Nikon D60: Would be replaced with Sony Alpha 7 R-3

Bolex 16mm w/ 3 lens turret: With same if I could find it.

The other 10 cameras from 1910 through 1950:
A good bottle of Scotch to drown my sorrow.
