There is one other reason i like to have a second(specifically a cheaper or older body that i have upgraded from)camera. And that is because i am willing to risk it in situations I don't like taking my more expensive body that i really can't afford to lose. Kayaking in iffy conditions or on faster water. When wading in waterways that don't provide great footing. On small moving boats with lots of spray etc. And obviously as you have stated innorder to have two bodies with different lenses. But yes. You are correct in saying that largely people don't really need a second body. I suppose that is very similar to the argument that we don't really need a second card slot either. For me it is the peace of mind that matters in having redundancy. Not so much that i think i will ever need it.No not the Arctic or Antarctic (though I have spent many years on boats) but if I was I wouldn't rely on a single point of mission failure for anything. But my point was most peoples perceived need for a 'backup' is largely bullish!t, not every specific use case. That was why I wrote "largely".
