I did not count phones. I don't consider them cameras. It feels like trying to take a photo with a piece of toast! 🙂

My Galaxy S5 is probably one of my most used cameras, because it's right there, and I can send the pictures right now.

Does it fill me with visceral joy like my M2 or K1000 or even my Rx100? Not really. But it does a good job nonetheless.

They are tools. They all have a purpose.
 
1) Canon Powershot S10 ( at 1200 usd the most expensive camera that I ever have bought )
2) Ricoh Caplio R3
3) Konica Minolta A2
4) Fuji F31fd
5) Pentax *istDs
6) Pentax K-x
7) Sony NEX5n
8) Ricoh GXR M
9) Sony A7

only Powershot S10, Pentax K-x and Sony NEX5n were bought new, all other second hand. still have 7 of them, all working, gave away 1) and 6) to friends
 
One thing that has occurred to me is that aside from my first digital which was a Nikon D70 I still own all the others I have bought ... aside from an OMD which was a toy that I got rid of very quickly after discovering I really didn't like micro four thirds.

1) Canon A620

2) Nikon D70

3) Nikon D700

4) Sigma DP2M

5) Sigma DP3M

6) Epson RD1

7) Sigma SD1M

8) Leica M typ 240

9) Nikon D4


I've just realised I forgot include my M8. Obviously it was very forgettable! 😛
 
Three.

My first was a Nikon D70, which I used for several years before giving it to my son when he was 11 years old. He's 19 now, so he's had it a long time.

My second was a Kodak DCS 14N, one of the first fullrame cameras, based on a Nikon body, 14mp. Very high resolution at the time. Best color rendering of any digital I have ever used, but it got very noisy with long exposures or any ISO setting above the base setting of ISO-80.

Since 2012, I've used and been very happy with a Canon 5DmkII. I really want the new 50mp 5Ds, but can't afford it now. I like the mkII a lot, and will use it for several more years.
 
My first digi-cam is a compact Casio Exilim.

The second one which is occasionally being used is an Olympus PEN E-P3.

I've had fun with both cameras.

If phone camera counts then add an iPhone and an iPad. I'm still using the first iPhone bought 2008.
 
2002: a Minolta thing that needed an external battery pack. No idea what it was called. A huge waste of money.

2005: Nikon D70. I really quite liked that camera even though I only had the kit zoom. Sold it for peanuts. A bit of a waste of money.

2007: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX30. Bought to use when I couldn't be bothered lugging the SLR around. I still have it and it still works fine. I use it for taking photos to put on eBay.

2011: iPhone 4S. Still using it.

2013: Fuji X100S. LOVED that camera (see username) but soon realised that what I really wanted was the same camera in which I could shoot film. Sold it and bought a Hexar AF.

2016: My Hasselblad 503, Rolleiflex 3.5F and Leica M3 instantly quash any digital camera GAS!

This number also counts very small sensor P&S cameras as far back as 1999.

Nikon D200, D300, D700 (two)
Panasonic G1
Fujifilm X-100, X-Pro 1, XT-1 (two), X100T

Digital Compacts by Narsuitus, on Flickr
 
Just counted them and I came to 12 since 2004. One was a gift, one has been given away. 4 dslr the rest compacts of various sizes and functionality. The first one has become flaky but all the others do work.

There are a few others but those I received to put in the collection. Didn't count those as I never used them nor do I know if they are still functional.
 
Guess what, it isn't camera it is photog...

Entire Instagram started as mobile phone pictures media and some Magnum members are using mobile phone to take and share pictures.

I quit taking videos with DSLRs, because iPhone videos are very good and "filming" process is much more easier.
One of our daughters took video shots, did editing, put sound track and titles on 160$ Samsung tablet.
 
Canon D30 (hated it)
Canon digital Rebel (KISS) - a million times better then d30, I had this camera for qhite a while.
Canon 40d -live view was nice. Didn't keep that long
Canon 50d - Another of the long lived camera's kept it till I needed a canon body with video.
Canon 60d - didn't keep that long.
Canon 6d - 4 years now.


Fuji x100 (the original) - Really was more of a point and shoot to me.
Leica m8.2 -hated it, sold it 3 months later.
Leica m240 - 2 years now, does what I need it to do.
 
My first digital camera was a Canon 30D in 2007. Since then, more than 10 but I don't recall how many more. I still have most of them although I've sold a few and given away several others.
