Oh, yes, actually I have several cams I do not use.
I just didn't think of them in my first post, since I do so not use them!

Polaroid Land Camera (several models)
Kodak Disc cameras (several models)
Agfamatic Pocket (several models)
Agfa Isorapid (no films)
Kodak Ektra 200 (no films)
Edixa Zoom
Agfa Optima 535 (no batteries)

I would like to use the last one, though, since it seems to be a good cam.

Now, you might ask, why I own those cams. Well, they were just there...
Some I got from my dad, some of them other people just gave to me.

The one camera that I "should use" is a Linhof Color Kardan 45S 4x5 camera with a Schneider lens. One day I will use this camera.
 
- Pentax ME Super SLR
- Canon AE-1
(I've gone to shooting digital for SLR)
- An old Toshiba PDR-M70 digital, 3MP, though it works fine and is kind of cool because it has a PC sync and in "landscape" mode, it focuses out to about 40 feet and the shutter is instantaneous. Makes an interesting action camera with the right subject.

It's sad because I LIKE all of these...
 
Well, I've used all I have, but one that I won't use anymore is the Minox B. Seldom used is the Olympus OM2 I bought last year (I have only one lens for it). Also on the seldom used and I don't know when I will use them again are: Rollei TLR; Super-Wide C. Problem with the latter is the squinty viewfinder. Not used much but may see some use are: Nikon F3HP (don't care for the exposure display) and the Leica M3 (No 35 or 28mm framelines, though I may start putting aux finders on it. But why bother when I can pick up an M6 or MP?).
 
I just pulled out a Nikon FM from the closet...I will be shooting some portraits next week for our church's website and I want to use a Vivitar 283 as a fill flash. The camera's being used because it can handle the 283's Trigger Voltage.
HEY!!! What a great excuse for having the older stuff...
I bought the camera because I just wanted it and never really put it to too much use.
I do feel a bit guilty having cameras that don't get used but they are paid for and I would never get back what I paid for them so I just hang on to them. Sometimes I think about selling some of the ones that are collecting dust and getting ONE body that would see daylight...
 
I'm gonna send my Retinette 022 to Kiwiland to have the shutter rebuilt and the finish worked on. It was my first camera and has led me to my avocation and vocation and deserves to be working again and used.

My Ikon doesn't get much use as my local lab can't deal with 6X9 negs and the flocking is deteriorating and ends up sticking to my film.

My Voigtlander Vito III doesn't get much use as I am still working on light sealing the bellows. (Otherwise a GREAT camera.)

All other cameras are for work (DLSRs) or play (IIIf, Rollei and SD700) and they all get a lot of workout.

I've sold anything else that I wasn't using much.
 
Let's see ...
Kodak Signet, broken
Agfa RF, broken
Rolleiflex 3.5 Tessar, spring in shutter broken
Rolleicord, bought for parts (but the spring didn't fit)
Burke & James 5x7, no wat to develop the film
Canon A-1, stolen

I use the rest, at least once in a while. So 6.
 
Most cameras I have that I don't use are broken rangefinders :-(

Contax IIa with 21mm biogon w/ viewfinder (camera is waiting for a pile of money to come my way to repair it) :-(

2 Olympus XA's, one has shutter problems, the other has film advance problems (do I repair to make one working camera or just buy another one and keep others for parts? More money I don't have). :-(

Also, Sinar Norma and Speed Graphic, work great and both get used, but presently, processing 4x5 is very problematic. :-(

Mostly use Nikons (F and FE2) Canon Powershot A80, and Nizos560 Super8(!)
 
That I can remember right away,

Yashica D
Nikon F80
Mamiya C200 TLR
Zeiss Ikon Nettar (medium format)
Canonet G-III QL17

The first two will go on the block sometime this year... They're really not getting any use. The rest of them... I like them too much to part with them! 🙂
 
None. I buy cameras to use them, not *sniff* collect them.
If a camera doesn't fit a need of mine like walk-around medium format, pocketable 35mm, etc, etc. then it doesn't get bought.
 
Hmm
I use my DSLR, my film SLR doesn't see as much use as my Rangefnders but It still see's a roll of film a week or so. My Leica M6 and MP are in constant use and my M8 gets a lot of work as well. My little D-lux 3 is the "party cam" and is often out getting passed around.
so
0.
I wouldn't have a camera if I wasn't going to use it.
 
Some to repair, one just repaired and not yet used, two plastic things, never to use, three recently purchased, waiting for film. That's even more than the nine I put in the poll I see.
