glad to see families of most of you still bother to call your cameras ...
How do your family call your camera?

"How on earth can that Little One (X100) ever make better pictures than that Big One (K-7) that you sold???"
or
"What happened to the black one?" (Pentax LX)
or
"There was a mailman at the door... what did you buy now?... A film camera again???" (Yashica Mat 124G)

I'm not sure what my wife calls them simply because my hearing is muffled by the half-nelson she gets me in whenever I get a camera out😱

I'm embarrassed by the cutsey names that some give to their equipment (Cream Machine, Bigma, Bugma, Siggy, Tammy, the Beast and so on), so we never use them when referring to my stuff.
Other than knowing that I use Nikons, none of our family were ever interested enough to learn the differences between the various bodies or lenses anyway, so they just call them "your camera" singular, and "your cameras" plural.

John (JsRocket) basically calls each of my cameras a "Monster" because I add a lot of accessories (especially grips) and I like big cameras like a Pentax 67II. I make fun of him because he has a rather serious "Strap Fetish," LOL, but overall he like small cameras and no accessories, just the opposite of me.
Collectively he calls all my cameras a "Camera Museum" because of the selection, but my girlfriend calls my collection of cameras collectively "the Camera Farm" because the amount of cameras seems to keep on growing. My gal know the brands I own and calls them by name like the "Rollieflex" or the Nikon.

Camera. And then: "I am glad we are going by car!" (Seeing me packing a backpack and a huge shoulder bag with camera equipment for a short holiday trip). Luckily my GF is herself somewhat of a photo buff, but her Powershot G12 and Trip 35 do not take up much space in the bag 🙄

My wife calls it (them), "Bob's 'problem'", referring to my GAS.

There's a member that lives not far from me and I went over to sell him a lens once. He had 3 LARGE and beautiful glass cabinets nicely filled with every Pentax, and nearly every Leica, Rolleiflex, and Nikon camera and lens (Maybe more but I was star-struck and can't remember). He called it his wife's inheritance. Oh yeah, I really didn't meet his wife but I'm sure she is a wonderful person. If he reads this he knows who he is, hi from Bob.
