I live on the Oregon coast & I carry a Cannon Powershot A540 with a water proof cover.
It is amazing the shots you can get when you can put your camera right down in the sand & tide pools.
I have people tell me there is no way I took the photos where I said I did.
I also have a Cannon D30 that I use once in a while.

Well, I always have a camera with me no matter what since my phone has a 1.3mp camera in it, but it’s useless for anything other than “OMG! Bigfoot!” type shots. So, depending on whether I’m on the motorcycle or in the truck, I either pack my 28-70L and 1D MK2n or 50 f/1.4 and my 20D. I refuse to leave the house without a camera unless I’m going somewhere where there’s absolutely no chance of getting it in…like a concert at a large venue.

Sony Ericsson K750i – *always* in a pocket – great for snaps

Panasonic LX-2 – *always* in Crumpler bag – for wide angle, more printable snaps

D2x + standard and wide angle lenses – less frequently in Crumpler bag – for more serious fun!

I have found the camera phone is very versatile (despite certain foibles) and *very* much better than no camera at all. After reading the above – I can’t wait to get a compact D-slr, make that a D90 or similar :-)

Yep… Nikon D100 w/ Vert Grip and a 18-70 DX lens

Its my “throw-away” camera.

If it breaks I don’t even care!

I take my Nikon D80 most everywhere. I have a big purse and working on throwing the back out of alignment. I suppose if I could find a really great point and shoot I would take that everywhere as well.

I’ve been trying to take a photo a day, so while I may not take my camera everywhere (picking up or dropping the girl off at pre-school) I do take it most places. It is a Canon Digital Rebel, usually with my 50mm and 28-300 Tamron.

Now that I have one, I carry my DSLR (a Pentax K10D) with me everywhere I go. For a couple of years prior to getting the DSLR I carried a point and shoot super zoom (a Canon S2IS).

I may carry my camera with me all day and not make a photograph — and I am okay with that. But if I leave my camera at home, I always see a photograph to be made and regret being unable to make it.

Since a month or so I try to have with me everywhere a dslr-like Canon (the Canon S5 IS). It’s not too big, not too small, has a nice optical zoom (36-432 mm equiv.), pretty good lens (2.8-3.5) and full manual controls :)

Well, you have “full auto”, as well, when you need it! :-)
