Ive been a two camera shooter for years. Being a fire department photographer conditions are often the worst and the immediate availability of two different lenses is not a luxury, but a necessity.
I took that two camera habit into my leisure photography as well as my current work related construction/architecture photography.
Once you’ve gotten comfortable with it it is a great wat to shoot.
Two different lenses, Two unique settings – I’m spoiled…

It would depend upon the shooting situation. I would want the 7D on the lens that I thought the majority of the important shots would be made with for that given situation. If you’re shooting a portrait outdoors, the 70-200 might be your ‘main’ lens, so I’d use the 7D for that…and so forth.

Hi
I am an enthusiast photographer.I have a canon 7d body,a 17-40mm EF lens and a 70-200mm 4L lens. I actually got two lenses because i am planning to buy another low priced body as i don’t want to change lenses too often(i hate dust getting into my camera while changing lenses).Now i am confused about which lens to use on which body (the second body would be probably canon 1000d)….Thanks

Usually, I’ve got a camera bag over my left shoulder, camera around my neck and the second camera (not being used) on my right shoulder, with the lens pointed in towards my torso (safer for the glass).

Do use a special harness or strap system to hold the two cameras (without having them bang into one another?) You said one around your neck, the other over your shoulder, but I can’t quite picture the exchange. Thanks.
