The airline won't say anything, but the Polish customs might if they stop you as you might have to pay duty on them. Also, provided you're flying from the US, you might be forced to pay duty on it. Be sure to declare all your cameras before leaving the US so you'll have proof that you exported them and are re-importing them to avoid having to pay duty.

Palal is on the money - show up early and go to US CBP / Customs, they can give you a form to fill out. The form is "proof" you had this all before you left, can help in case of theft / loss and insurance claims, and makes it easier for you to fil out declaration forms on arrivals (description and serial numbers all in one place).
As to the airline, they don't care - the only issue is the carry-on limit.
Some of us get around some of that with Scottevest.
