Yikes, I didn't think it was that many, but I've definitely used all of these in the past couple months.

Sony NEX-3
Nikon D200
Leica M2
Leica M5
Canon 7
Kiev 4A
Yashica-Mat LM
Voigtlander Bessa RF
Linhof Technika V
Kodak 2D 8x10
 
With 7 different _kinds_ of cameras (SLR (digital and film), TLR, RF, Point & Shoot (digital and film), and Fixed Lens RF), and two or more cameras in all but one of those categories, I keep busy trying them all out. Never gets boring that way. It is the shotgun approach to photographic equipment.
 
Regularly use:
Leica M2 - 35mm Zeiss Biogon
Leica M3 - 50mm Summicron DR
Lomo LC-A
Hassy 500CM - 80mm Planar or 50mm Distagon
Nikon F3HP - 85mm 1.4
Rolleiflex 2.8E
Ricoh GR-1
 
Lately it's been three. Canon 10D, Canon G6 and Olympus XA.

Among the film cameras, I have film in a couple more. I shoot them sporadically.
 
M8 - everyday - personal work
R8/DMR - 90 percent of commercial work
5D - event work (along with M8), 10 percent of commercial work
 
I've downsized my collection (25+) somewhat and in the past most often gone to my Canon P and L1, but now I'm dedicated to use all of them in rotation.
 
I use many cameras, but I use fewer "regularly".
I have several camera bags ready with cameras and lenses, and I siwtch each weekend to another combo.

1. Leica M6 + Leica M3 are now in a bag together, with Summicron 35/2, Summicron 50/1, and Summilux 75mm/1.4.
2. Contax G1 (two bodies) are in another bag ready for use: 28mm/2.8, 45mm/2.0, 90mm/2.8
3. Rolleiflex 2.8D is in a small bag by itself.
4. I often use the Minox 35GT as an additional camera, thrown into any camera bag.
5. The Canon T90 and F1N are used with Canon L lenses once in a while. They have their own camera bag.
6. The Rolleiflex 35mm SLR cameras are often used with Zeiss lenses.
7. Standard Leica with Canon 19mm 3.5 or Minolta 21mm/4.

Now I also have a camera bag for my digital EP-2.

Life is good.

Have a wonderful holidays season.

The following cameras get the most use:
Canon 630--mostly for travel slides
Canon Kiss IIIL--for serious color prints
Rollei Prego 90--for family gathering color prints
Yashica T4D--for grandchildren at our house color prints

I sometime use a Leica Mini III or Olympus Infinity Stylus in place of the Yashica T4D for a little variety. I also have several other cameras loaded with film but do not use them regularly.
