Cameras for work and cameras for pleasure

Its been interesting seeing the number of photographers with work and personal or ‘fun’ cameras.

Despite the trolls and fanboys all crying that ‘Canon/Nikon/Sony’ (delete your chosen hated brand) are the best, its interesting to see what’s in the bags of professional photographers.

While Canon 5D’s 1D’s, R1/3/5’s; Nikon D5, D850, Z9/8 and Sony A1/A9 are the main choices when working, its interesting so see what else they have packed away.

The top choice seems to be a Fuji X100 tucked away in the bag, small good quality, and so useful to photographers mixing flash and daylight with its leaf shutter. It also seems to be the internets favourite camera. I have come close to pulling the trigger on one myself.

For those with the cash the Leica Q has been racing up the list; I know of one New York fashion photographer who is know for his wide-angle use has switched to the Q as his main camera.

What would you pick as a personal camera for when you put the pro cameras away?
