I have too many cameras too list and cannot recall exactly when I bought them, but in terms of the road map ahead, I really would like to purchase another BP M4.
What's your "camera roadmap"

-Dad's Nikkormat FTN (run over by a security guard in his little hatchback whilst been kicked out of a skate spot)
-Some kind of early sony digital camera (traded)
-Sony DSC V1
-Nikon D70 (stolen in Barcelona from a hire car rental office. Went to sign papers and turned around and my camera bag was gone, can still remember running thru the streets with rage wanting to murder someone. Think it may have been an inside job, who knows)
-Nikon D70S (stolen in Melbourne, went to suss out a skate spot in broad daylight and returned 5 minutes later to car window smashed and bag gone)
-Nikon D200 (traded)
-Nikon FM2 (still use, but very rarely)
-Leica M4P (traded)
-Epson RD1 (given to my dad)
-Olympus MJUii (gift from brother in law, really need to use it more!)
-Panasonic LX5(traded)
-Hasselblad 503CX (traded)
-Fuji XE1(current, and don't see it going anywhere soon!)
There has been others along the way I cant recall and others hardly worth mentioning, very much content with the Fuji body for now though. Glass on the other hand, now that's a different story!

Minolta SR-T 100 2.0/50, increadible 35 years ago (destroyed)
Nikon FM migrated to girl-friend
Nikon FT-N (still here)
some other I don't manage to sort out (FT2, FT3) exchanged?
F, F2A (rarely used, still there)
FE (to replace FT-N when 1.35 batteries died out, but still here)
D700 (nice for shots of the kids, but failed to retrigger my old ambitions)
M6 cron50 (recently, inherited, did trigger restart of b&w)
Ah, and I still have a Linhof Technika 4x5, greatest camera ever made. Unfortunately this one requires time that my family absorbs.....

Olympus OM10 and 50mm lens - 1998 - borrowed from my college photography society and used for about a year until I got my...
Minolta X700 with 28mm and 50mm lenses - 1999 to 2007 - relied on this simple combo for 8 solid years during which I think I made some of the best stuff I'll ever shoot. Sat is closet from 2007 when I began to play with larger formats. Now given to my brother.
Mamiya 6MF + 50mm - 2007 to 2012 - dream MF camera and much nicer VF than any Leica. Used it mostly for colour work but let it go after getting a DSLR which gets the job done more easily for colour (though admitedly with nothing like the IQ that the Mamiya 50mm packs)
Shen Hao and Ebony 4x5, Canham 5x7 - 2008 to 2012 - dabbled in LF for a few years before realising it's not the format for me. Selling the kit.
Leica M6 with 28mm Elmarit ASPH and Voigt and Zeiss 35mm lenses - 2010 to 2012 - Fantastic lenses. Didn't get on with the Leica though and sold after 18 months.
Nikon system, comprising FM3a (2009), F6 (2010) and D700 (2012) - after selling my MF and LF kit, I've come to realise that this trio provides a really flexible combination that does everything I require of a camera. Sure, I don't enjoy the IQ or enlargement that I enjoyed with the Mamiya but for me, this disadvantage is outweighed by the increased flexibility of a Nikon system. Funnily though, I miss the character of the Minolta lenses I started out with and so, just for kicks and since MD glass is such good value these days, I keep a
Minolta system comprising XD7, SR102, 24mm, 35mm f1.8, 50mm f1.4, and 58mm f.12
So after 14 years of shooting and trying most stuff in between, my dabbles and daliances with various exotic camera have led me back more or less to where I started - with SLRs, albeit that Nikon is now my main system rather than Minolta.
