You beat me to the article. Looks like Canon is the equipment of choice instead of Nikon

That is not one photographers gear, it is the entire inventory for all the photographers working for Getty Images.

Where are the guns. Security would be as important if not more than having the right camera gear. LOL

I have a Canon D60 (that's D60) that I have had for about 10 years and it was used when I got it. Are you saying I should have a piss pot full of back-ups for it even though I haven't had any problems with it?

Question for you Nikon people. My wife has a Nikon Coolpix L18 P&S that she uses occasionally. Whenever she finishes taking her pictures and before putting it away until the next time, she has to pull the batteries out of the camera or it will drain the batteries. If not, the next time the batteries are dead. I have a Canon PowerShot A490 P&S that I use occasionally. I can let it sit for months and when I come back to it the batteries are fine. Anybody know why the Nikon eats through its batteries so fast when not in use.

I have a D800 and do not have that problem. Try an upgrade.

Thanks, that was very interesting. And to think, this is mainly just 'back ups'.

Why do you let it sit for months?? Give it to your wife.
