While I cannot speak for Mike, it seems that most people on this list have and use multiple camera bodies, as well as different formats. For those still reading this thread, please raise your hand if you only have one camera body. While it may be true that some cannot afford to purchase two DSLR's at the same time, again, many have helped finance their purchase of new gear by selling old gear, so it's not unreasonable to assume that at least some people could afford two DSLR bodies if they so desired.
