SUMMARY
A professional photographer maintains a diverse camera kit of 10 bodies, featuring a modern Nikon Z8 alongside five DSLRs (two D850s, two D780s, one D200) and four film cameras (Nikon FM2, F100, F6, N80). The photographer explains this extensive collection serves as essential backup for commercial and event shoots, where having multiple working cameras is crucial. While the Z8 is cutting-edge, DSLRs are preferred for low-light events and daily work, with the D780 often chosen for its lower-resolution sensor in such scenarios. This approach is justified by the photographer completing 700 jobs in three years, indicating significant wear on equipment and the need for reliable backups.
