How many photographic devices do you own?

I've got two phones that can take photos.
And an iPhone 3.
Three point and shoot cameras.
Canon DSLR with 5 lenses - two zooms, one LensBaby, a 105mm telephoto/macro, a 30mm and just gave away a 50mm.

Sony Alpha 100 that lives in my car
A Canon Powershot S50 that lives in my purse
and a Sony Alpha 500 that lives in my house

A few lenses that I rarely use, but I plan to figure out how they can help me, because I can surely use some help.

That is somewhere upstairs.

Down here are:
2 Canon PowerShot point and shoot digital cameras - A520 and A1200
Nikon D70 DSLR
Nikon N70 35mm SLR
A cheap pair of binoculars with a built in low res (640x480) camera
A 35mm 3D camera that uses a unique processing procedure to make"dimensional" pictures - that one should be in the box with the other obsolete stuff like the old Polaroid cameras.

Oh - I forgot the web cam in the notebook and the other web cam!

one is an old mechanical SLR, have not used it for years, a 12 year old digital camera, a cell phone that I never use for photos and a small half broken ultra compact point and shoot. The thingy that holds the battery in is broken, so it's hard to close. Miracusly, there is only one SD card that will work, but it does work. I do get bouts of equipment envy.

6. Not enough

but then I doubt I could ever have enough since there is always something new & different. Yet I do have enough to do what I really want to and do a decent job of it. I do get torn between the wanting bigger, badder etc. and the lack of the money I'm willing to spend so I make my self wait and if I still want it I save for it. Stops those impulse buys.

I'm really getting into photography and would LOVE to get a DSLR but can't afford it right now

Been drooling over an inexpensive Canon Rebel T3 as the next step up....one day!!
