Well, for "Professional Work" I use my Canon 5D with whatever lenses.
For fun, I've been using an OM-4 and a Fuji Klasse (Original).

I've got a new (to me) GRDIII on the way so I'm looking forward to adding that to my messenger bag.

I am selling everything off and plan on being down to 2 cameras. I need simplicity in my life.

I've tried that with 4 systems and a dose of miscellaneous cameras, but I can't seem to get it even down to 2 systems. Decisions, decisions..

But to the OP, in no particular order:
Nikon F3HP
Bessa R3a
Leica M4-2
Yashica D
 
Regularly is tough to define. I'd say in a typical 2-3 month period I use more than 5 cameras, so I voted 6-10.

I seem to acquire new cameras regularly, and I always put a roll through the new one. But I also get back to reusing my favorites, or at least my recent favorites. Here are my current faves:

Canon F-1 (old)
Leica M6 Classic
Canon 7
Kodak Retina IIc
Kodak Signet 35
Minolta 'A'
Olympus Pen F (Gothic)
 
Leica M3
Voigtlander Bessa L

XPan
Widelux 7
Fujica G690
Fujica GM670
Fujica GL690(2)
Linhof 617
Noblex 150

Nikon Nikkormat
Nikon FG
Nikon F4
Nikon F5

Canon T90
Canon AE2
Canon EOS3

Olympus OM4
Olympus OM4T

Olympus EM-5

This is an update from my post on page 2. I now use 3 to 4 cameras regularly. Leica MP, M7, Zeiss Super Ikonta III or IV and Nikon S3. I usually have 2 Leicas and my Zeiss Ikonta with me for most shooting. Jim
 
okay, i'm definitely not the only one here with a serious "camera problem". In terms of "regulary" - more than three times a month.

Permanent and daily companions:
(I keep changing without any special order. Normaly i´ve one of these camera with me for erveryday shooting.)
- Nikon S3 Y2000
- Zeiss ZM
- Hasselblad XPan
- Rollei 35
- Nikon F3 HP

Infrequent use:
- Nikon FE 2x
- Hasselblad 500C/M
- Pentax 645N II
- Kodak Retina IIIc
- Zeiss Ikon, Nettar IIb 518/16
 
At the moment I'm down to 2, but I've never been one to be able to divide myself between too many cameras.
Pentax 67
Nikon FM2n

The Pentax is in use to tide me over until I replace the 4x5 kit I sold a few weeks ago and the Nikon is because I can't afford a nice M2/M6/Hexar RF at the moment, so it lives with the 45mm pancake on it all the time as my 'compact' camera. Once I replace the 4x5 and eventually pick up a nice Leica I think I'll be set.
 
I have on a table 12 cameras for a project I am working through, it involves a lot of experimentation. I will over the time knock the number of cameras down but as I will be using various types of photographic media from small Fuji Instax and Polaroid passport cameras I am stuck using a fair few cameras. To think I had got my working down to 6 cameras, mainly on where I was going, never setting out with more than 3 (one not used backup) I am shocked with myself. There is not one digital amongst them as well, it will cost me a fortune in film, oh well.
 
Currently using the D700 for work on a daily basis, and my Contax G1 and Nikon F4 for documentary work. I'll bring the F100 along occasionally when I have large crowd events to cover, as a backup for the D700.
