Ok so I've been pro but I'm not these days but just wondering on average how many camera bodies do you use day to day and are they the same type or different?

I use two camera bodies at most gigs I shoot as I dont like to change lenses in dark/dusty venues.Plus the bigger gigs have a first 3 songs rule so it saves me time fiddling about trying to swap a wide for a telephoto or whatever. both are Nikon bodies.

Two. Usually because one does something the other doesn't. Speed/video.
Sometime just one if I'm lugging other stuff like tripods/ lights and don't need the fps aspect.

i always have a back-up body in my kit and just flog the previous body when i get a new one. i don’t have 2 digital backs though as that £6-£20k tied up and a high mp dslr acts as a back-up instead.
it does mean the second body sits there unused for a year or 2 but that’s just a cost of doing business and in the big scheme of things i view them as a consumable as they are usually superseded in a couple of years.

I'm no where near a pro, but I've done one shoot in the Lakes for a client where I borrowed a friends body. It was an absolute godsend in appalling conditions and I can definitely see the appeal of not needing to swap lenses all the time. Looking forward to the day when I can justify having a second body...
