&gt;Photography, 1 decent camera is really enough.<p>Bahahahahaahhahahah... no.<p>1 decent camera is enough if you are <i>not</i> a photographer, just a person who likes taking pictures.<p>As a very amateur photographer, I do in fact only own one camera. The rest of the two bags is accessories for that one camera and several lenses, each of which serve a unique and useful purpose. Good camera equipment is dammed expensive. If I could buy less of it and still do everything I want to do, you better believe I would! I don&#x27;t even do very complicated photography. I shoot exclusively outdoors in relatively bright surroundings. There is a whole other realm of lighting equipment that I haven&#x27;t even entered into yet.<p>And just for some perspective, it is not at all unusual for professional photographers to carry two cameras <i>at the same time</i>. (With different lenses, since it takes several seconds to swap a lens.)<p>And that doesn&#x27;t get into specialty equipment like medium&#x2F;full format.<p>My two small bags of equipment is <i>nothing</i> compared to the amount of gear that an experience professional photographer is likely to acquire over the course of a decade or two.
