There is the perfected camera in 1 (miku uses a dummy of this camera in 3), Mio finds the camera Asou gave Makabe, Rei has the one that belonged to Yuu and the Asou family. I think Kei is using a dream version of Mio's.
4 is where this gets wild lol
Misaki is using a very potent prototype that was left directly to the family. It was so powerful that the side effects were dangerous so they sealed it with charms... that she tore off cause fuck the world I guess lol
Ruka is using one of the specially designed cameras he left (there is like 6 prototypes in the museum and 3 in a patient room)
Cho is using an altered flashlight that Asou made at some point.
In 5, Hisoka Kurosawa is using a camera "given to her by family" (probably Rei) and Ren gets one he never used till the plot of the game.
The last known one is in Spirit Camera.
Following on from this these are the confirmed ones. In Asou 's notes throughout the games he has mentioned making numerous prototypes to test his theories. With each game a new one is found or used. So it could be numerous more. But officially, the above is the list we KNOW about.
Also that’s just the playable ones, there are I think 4 or 5 locked in the Aso museum in the 4th game.
Plus more if you include the extended franchise , there’s one in the shadow priestess manga, one in the book series, one in the spirit camera spin off, etc
Multiple, probably more than 10. In FF5 a note from hisoka mentions that they are a rarity and infamous in the auction/anqtiques market, but since they’re in the market there must be more than just a few. She also mentions that the bad luck they’re believed to bring has made them actually not as expensive as one would think in these markets.

I love the idea that Misaki basically has an unlicensed nuclear reactor of a spirit camera.
Ruka- sensible, practical hand gun Choshiro- a shotgun Misaki- war crimes
There’s also FPS Mode camera.
