Currently I have three FF bodies, the A1, the A7R V and the A7C.   My first FF Sony was the A7R IV,  and although I had the RX10 IV bridge camera to use as a second body, it wasn't quite the same.  In my Nikon days I'd always had two interchangeable lens bodies and I missed that.  When the A1 came along, I weighed the pros and cons of trading in the A7R IV, but realized that the two cameras really would complement each other in many ways, so bit the bullet, saved more money and waited longer before I finally had the A1.    Later when the A7R V was announced I decided that I would eventually trade in my A7R IV for it, and did so.   The A7C is sort of an anomaly, purchased for travel but also comes in handy every now and then around home, too, and complements the other two quite nicely. 

The A1 is my speed demon, the one upon which the 200-600mm and the 100-400mm spend the majority of their time.  It's the camera I use when shooting birds on the water and birds in the air,  squirrels scampering around the neighborhood, turtles on a log dozing in the sun,  etc.

The A7R V is my macro queen, the camera which primarily hangs out at home shooting macros, closeups and occasionally tabletop scenes.  She does venture outdoors from time to time during the spring and summer seasons when there are lovely flowers everywhere, too. 

The A7C is the lightweight wonder, the one which couples nicely with my smaller, lighter-weight lenses and also goes out on walks around the neighborhood with me.   This is the camera body which will be accompanying me on future trips.

When going to a local botanical garden or somewhere else, I usually take the A1 and the A7R V, and at the location have a long lens on the A1 for scenics while the A7R V sports a macro lens to capture the wonderful flowers there.  Haven't tried taking all three camera bodies with me yet, but that is a possibility, too.  I agree with Landshark and really prefer to do no lens swapping outdoors in the field.  Much safer all the way around!
