I couldn’t ever imagine not having both of my cameras with me at all times.

Definitely. It's very difficult to shoot 4x5 negatives with my Nikon digitals.

I have no problem with too many cameras, especially film cameras. My son "borrowed" them all. At least he really uses them all the time: Leica M3 and M6, Rolleiflex T and sundry others. We "share" a Sony A77. I have managed to hang onto The Fuji stuff (for now).

I have learned to sell my gear on ebay and subsidize new purchases.
My camcorders have sold for at least 50% up of purchase price.
I do need different devices for different jobs and my own work.
I so regret not keeping some cameras but is makes sense to repurpose
for someone else. My cameras and lens are always in good shape
and buyers love to buy from me.
I shoot video with an pro Sony XDCam X70 small but terrific imagery.
I use a a7s II for cinema video with a lot of cine lens and then
shoot upscale stills when I need it. For events and sports have been
using the Sony RX10 III with 24 600 lens.
For quick PR and friendly photos the a6300 is a great option.
I spent a lot for the zeiss 16 to 70 on it and it is my favorite.
I am now appreciating my RX100 4 have had it for awhile and the
IQ it great. Always have it in my messenger bag.
So yes these options are necessary. But is it basic need other options.
Good luck.

Yes, if you have more than one, but it isn't a necessity! I do some remote radio controlled work with several of my bodies, that is all they do, a they stay setup for that. I have several that are used for regular photo action of all sorts, and that is all they do.....
I would be surprised if we haven't crossed paths. I do a lot of RC work myself. I fly RC as well. Used to be a member at Moonport in Titusville.
I agree with you on this. My D500 is used for in-flight shots and my D7200 for static shots.

Hi Julian, ours are champion bred, FLAT SHOD Tennessee Walking Horses. We have raised them for over 55 years, had 77 of them at one time, but quitting now. Too old to keep things going any more. I still ride at 81, but maybe not a lot longer. I had one quarter horse...loved him, buckskin like Matt Dillon rode. He had the easiest trot and short lope I ever sat. I am also an equine artist and I love painting all breeds.
My Best horse "Chief", was a horse I owned till he passed at age 30. He looked as he was a smaller version of a horse called 3 bars, maybe you heard of him! I did about everything you can do with a horse with him, jump, western pleasure, English pleasure, trail, reining, showed him at halter etc. His most important job giving MR/DD kids rides though. If horses can be Saints, he was one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...Julian

I was shooting a T2i mostly biker rallies and rock groups. I bought a 6D for the low light capabilities and it made a big difference in my abilities. Bought a 24mm pancake lens and a wrist strap, put it on the T2i, now I have a compact street camera.

Different cameras, different lenses, same idea. Fast shooting with a huge buffer, my Nikon D500, slower more precise and "meditative" shooting, my Nikon Z7.

Do you have more than one hammer? Maybe a framing hammer and a ball peen? I do. It depends on what purposes and level of skill.

I never knew many QHs, but I had one of those "one of a kind" horses too. Showed him hundreds of time...won all but 4 times...2 second places, 1 third and 1 fifth.
And speaking of multiple cameras, I wish I had hi back with the cameras I have now!!!

Ditto. It's not always about the camera it's about the lens availability....and whether you feel ok slapping an 18-400 lens with the associated variability of sharpness and lowlight capability vs situation specific lenses available "drawing from the holster".
Weddings - 2 cameras on my body at all times and 1 camera with lens on it in the bag next to me.
Casual - usually 1 camera with the 70-200 OR the 35mmF1.4 on it and wishing I had the other lens mounted about every 3rd opportunity:-)

It depends, just how addicted are you, I have a serious problem myself, way too much gear, I have come to look at it as a crack habit, I have 3 bodies and lots of lenses and they all serve uniquely in different situations, do I really need that much gear, oh heck no. There are other more productive things that I could use that money for.
