Some of my collection of cameras

Top row: Nikon D70, D7000, D750, DJI Air 3S.

Bottom row: Nikon N8008, Canon SX120is (I think, something like that), Graphlex 35mm, Kodak Brownie, and a Panasonic video camera from about 2010.

I can think of several cameras that aren't shown - my wife's Olympus OM-D, my Nikon N65, a 110 film (cartridge, not the roll) camera that was my first camera, and a cheap Polaroid APS camera. They're all around somewhere.

The N65 was the first SLR I owned, I'd gone into the camera shop to buy a Canon Rebel 2000, and the shop suggested the N65 instead because it had a metal ring to mount the lens, as opposed to plastic on that model of Canon. So that's how I ended up being a Nikon guy. The D70 was the first digital camera I owned.

Not shown are the many lenses I have to go with the Nikons, but very few are "good" lenses - mounted on the D750 is the wide angle lens (a Sigma 14-24 1:2.8 DG) I use professionally. In full frame lenses, there's also the 24-70 f/4 lens, and the 70-300 AF-P. Both are decent lenses, but the best quality lens is that Sigma. There's a 50 mm 1.8 here that's also excellent, but I don't use it much.

The D7000 has a Nikon 24-120 lens that's not bad. I also have the Tokina 11-16 for that camera, and some sort of longer zoom that I'd have to check. It's not a high end lens by any means, though.

The Brownie is the only camera I own that I've never actually used, though it did work last time I played with the mechanism (there isn't much to it - a spring to control the shutter). The N8008 I bought used, well after I had the D7000, because I wanted to play with film again, and the N65's shutter had failed.

Edit to add - just realized I forgot my Gopro Hero 4 Silver, my new Insta 360 x4, and I have a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 being delivered today.
