I usually travel with 3 cameras... 2  1dmk2 and a g9.

I was reading a conversation on Facebook about someone talking about their upcoming choices for new cameras and I started thinking ( usually not a good thing)

I know some people who collect cameras.  They treat them like they are masterpieces of technology ( which they are)

The bodies never show any signs of wear... no scratches or dents... no wear marks on the lens.  If I bought a used body from them I know if would be in better shape then when it was delivered from the factory.

Then there are other photographers ( like me) who don't care so much... my bodies have wear marks, a few scratches.  Anybody who bought a used camera from me would be getting a used camera.

Does how you treat your camera doesn't effect your skill as a photographer?

Does it effect how you approach photography?
