I’m not a professional photographer although most of my friends are inclined to consider me as such. But when asked if I am a pro, I’d always reply that I’m more of a photo hobbyists/enthusiasts. Anyway, that’s not the subject of this article but what I really want to know is just how many digital cameras do you have right now? To make it more fun, let’s include phone cameras. And to make it even more fun, let’s include the cameras in your household.

I’ve got seven of them and they are:

Canon EOS 40D – Bought this one year ago as a replacement to my old Canon 400D (sorry Nikon fanboys). Along with this camera are several accessories including an external Speedlite 480ex, a Lowerpro camera bag, extra Li-ion battery, screen protectors. Obviously this one is what I use for my photo gigs.

Canon Ixus 100IS – This baby never leaves my pocket or bag. It’s so small that I could slipped it into my pocket and bring it anywhere I go. What for? Mostly for food photography.

iPhone 3GS Camera – If I want to share photos quickly to Facebook, I use my iPhone’s camera. The 3MP would produce decent quality photos. But lately, I’ve been using it because of the photo enhancement apps that I’ve downloaded. The most recent was “The Best Camera App.”

Sony Ericsson G900 Camera – It beats the iPhone’s 3MP camera but the only gripe about it is that it focus to slowly. The iPhone camera is faster.

Canon A650IS – My wife’s trusty old 12MP Camera. She’s waiting for me to hand her down the IXUS 100IS before she disposes this camera. I’ve used this several times and I would have to say that this camera is decent enough and falls just a little bit short of the Canon G90 in terms of features and functionality.

iPhone 3G Camera – This is my wife’s phone which she inherited from me after I got my 3GS. Lower MP than the 3GS but could still produce good quality photos.

Flip MinoHD – This is more for videos but you can produce still images from those videos. Never tried it though.

Sony Ericsson W760i – This one also beats the iPhone 3GS’ camera with its 3.2MP camera with auto-focus. Good enough to take decent quality photo.

There you go, 7 still image capturing devices. Care to share you collection of digital and mobile phone cameras?
