Who has back-up cameras?
 

Quite a few people that I've met in this industry don't carry any
backup equipment when they go out on location to shoot. I guess
it comes from my days as a commercial photographer (where I
had backup cameras, lenses, lights & meters) but that would
scare the hell out of me to go out on a shoot and not have
backup gear -

I always carry a backup cock in case the main fails to deploy at the appropriate time! :Graucho

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh Is it your own ?

I do. They are not as good as my main cameras but it's better that nothing. :)

I still have every camera I ever bought. Maybe like 5 stills and 4 video. Plus a bunch of lenses and accesories. A whole closet full of crap.

We always bring a backup camera.

I have a backup but it sucks.

I do now as I had problems in Czech with mine.

I am looking for a backup maybe a d1 or d100 as well as a camera for times when you dont want to lug around 3 pounds of camera.


I think I want to get one of the mini cameras that arnt too much bigger than a credit card in length and maybe 1 inch deep.

We shoot with a D1X and have a full backup set up also.

I was thinking you meant back up cameras on your car, like so when you back up you can see. lol

With what it costs for a shoot today, it would be foolish to not have a backup camera.

Still shoot on film, Nikon F5.
