Digital, 35mm, Medium, & Large Format Cameras?
There are never enough
I use a 1DsMk2 and a Linhof MT 4x5. That's all I need. One camera would be enough, but there are no practical digital solutions to equal the resolution of 4x5 scanned film right now for landscape photography. When that becomes available, which may be as soon as the Seitz digital back becomes available for cameras other than the Seitz panoramic, then I may carry only one camera.
In general, I recommend carrying no more than 2 cameras for any given shoot. The more cameras you carry, the less you use each of them and the more time you spend deciding which camera you are going to use. Of course, the kind of cameras you use can be different for different types of assignments. But carrying more than 2 at any given time is counterproductive in my experience.
Yes, Alain, the 1DsII is a great upgrade, but not exactly subtle!
What do you use for that?

Probably within the next few years I'll jump up to a D-SLR but I wanted to learn more about photography before jumping into something that expensive.
