I bought a second body (D), because I sometimes have to do an out of
town shoot. You can't ask a client for travel expenses, then tell him
your camera broke. But I've found that having two bodies can be great
when shooting events or athletic contests where two distinctly
different focal lengths are desirable. I shot a car show for a mag last
summer and used the DA 16-45 on one camera and the DA 50-200 on the
other. It was perfect. I was covered from very wide to very long, and
both lenses deliver excellent results.

Yup. When I went on holidays in 2004, I regularly used 2 bodies. Long
lens on one, short lens on the other. Made it a whole lot easier to
capture the shot (seems with the one DS body, I always have the wrong
lens).

really only 'need' one.
I'd like a 2nd DS to use along with the 1st - it cuts down the number
of
times that I have to change lenses (which, depending on the
situation, may
or may not be of significant help). And, if one did ever "poop out"
on me
(perhaps even due to batteries or a full card), I'd have the other one
ready to go. (Yes, I know that batteries and memory cards can be
changed,
but sometimes it'd be quicker to switch bodies and lenses than to swap
batteries or cards.) And, of course, this would also be true if the
failure was more serious than a full card or empty batteries.
