  get two of the same camera, why not? this way you wont have to deal w/ the differences the in controls. and if you want two different cameras that take the same lens just make sure they are the same brands. but note that some older models aren't compatible w/ newer models. (i.e. canon fd mount and canon ef mount.)

  I could imagine a Canon EOS digital body and a Canon EOS film body sharing the same lenses. Except for the very expensive 1DS models, however, you have a conversion factor when using the same lens on both cameras. For example, you have a 35mm wide angle on the EOS, but a 50 or so when used on most Canon digital bodies.

Some photogs buy a top-of-the-line pro body and a cheaper body by the same manufacturer as a backup. If both are digital, or both are film, there's no conversion factor to worry about when switching between them.
