OK, for fun, lets see where the bulk of us are with different cameras we use at least a few times a year.

I see no entry for pinhole either.
From the above, I use m4/3, 35mm RF and SLR, medium format film, and a cameraphone, although the later is just pathetic.

I think you forgot that there's DSLR's that have a crop of 1.3, as well. (My Canon 1D (MkIII) has a sensor that is a 1.3 crop).

I have my E-P3 by my side pretty much everywhere I go, and my E-P1 acts as backup/family/home-cam. I occasionally use my OM-2 and one of my Minolta Hi-Matic Fs, but I need to find a better solution for developing/scanning than I've used before (too expensive, not good enough quality), so I've kinda taken a break from film. I think I might buy a scanner some day, I do love shooting film.
So that's 4 cameras that I use, and I have 5 or 6 more that I'm not using.

I use an Olympus E-P3 everyday and sometimes an E-P1.

In the studio, a Nikon D700, full frame.

Added a few by request, you may edit your selections

adash · « **Reply #9 on:** January 28, 2012, 09:46:42 AM »

But, wait, I meant pinhole cameras, loaded with darkroom paper, not film! Obviously the options are numerous however.

Oh, Fixed

Would a GoPro fit in with Flip type cameras?

voyager · « **Reply #12 on:** January 29, 2012, 02:22:28 PM »

Oops, I forgot to select cameraphone. :-P

Only 2 out of 21 voters use a 4/3 camera some of the time? On an Olympus forum?? What does that mean??? I'm more than a little surprised.

voyager · « **Reply #14 on:** January 31, 2012, 04:44:10 PM »

4/3 is dead, remember?

Very flippant, now.

Dead? Olympus still sells 3 E-series cameras and 20 lenses on its website. There are many excellent 4/3 cameras on the used market from the 18 models produced, some of them great bargains. The 4/3 system is more complete than m4/3 and in significant areas more capable. Many years from now 4/3 cameras will still be making wonderful photos.

And yet, only 2 members here (out of 24 now) say they use 4/3 cameras while a large number appear to use other brands of DSLRs (16) and many types of film cameras (21)! Heck, there are more people (5) using other mirrorless brands than are using 4/3. That seems very strange when there are so many similarities between Olympus 4/3 and m4/3 systems--more than between Panasonic and Olympus m4/3.

I am curious as to why so many non-Olympus, non-4/3 and pro-film users?

I don't think it's strange at all. Despite the similarities, micro4/3 and 4/3 are two very different systems. Most micro4/3 users value compactness, so they're likely to be interested in other mirrorless/compact systems rather than DSLRs. And even if they are interested in DSLRs, Canon and Nikon have more and better things to offer than 4/3.

The 4x4 format is missing on the list. I am using a Yashica 44 LM every now and then. Some film is still available

Yes, I know you like to do that. I was looking for content.

There are certainly some users who fit that description, especially relatively recent converts, but I strongly disagree that "Canon and Nikon have more and better things to offer than 4/3" in DSLRs. More, perhaps, but hardly better for 99% of photographers. Canon and Nikon are more common and visible is all. I'd think that an Olympus forum would to some extent self-select users who are familiar with and appreciate the 4/3 system, some models of which are roughly the size of many mirrorless alternatives. I use micro4/3 and 4/3 interchangeably, preferring one over the other for certain things.

Had to check several since I've used many film formats before coming to digital. Still use film though...

Poll

I am curious how many cameras you use, you may have more, but the ones your use, how many?
