I carry my Olympus XA with me always. It's an amazing little feat of engineering, and never fails me. I don't leave home without it.

MP black paint with 2.0/50 sometimes 2.0/35. TriX or HP5+ always in D23 1:1 @24C.
Canon 1DsII with 24-105. Not exactly a small/light, but I can tell truthfully people that it is my small camera. If the newly announced Panasonic LX2 is usable to 400ASA or even 200, I'll get one :-)
A Mamiya 7, if I'm being somewhat purposeful. I keep a Leica mini-zoom in my briefcase at all times.

I had one. Great camera. Dropped it on the asphalt in Barcelona while on my honeymoon. Not repairable. Later replaced it with a black Olympus Stylus Epic. Dropped that one on the asphalt at the hospital when my first son was born. Would have cost almost as much as a new one to repair it. Moral: Don't bring an Olympus you care about to an important life event.Originally Posted by Jay De Fehr
Ha, it is not the Olympus that is at fault Dave...
I used to carry around an XA - great little camera but mine had been filled with sand by a previous owner and I eventually wanted something more P&S / quicker for snapshotting.
Tried a Canon 28-90 film compact but the shutter lag was a joke and too idiot level / no control over it. It said in the manual that the only way to tell the shutter had closed was when you heard it wind on...
Had a Canon S40 for quite a few years but this eventually fell apart and got some dry joints inside so it would power off at inopportune moments. Liked it apart from the start-up time of nearly 5 seconds.
Someone at work came in with an Digital Ixus 65 compact yesterday - seems ideal for shirt pocket carrying and looked to take reasonable piccies from the stuff he took. Could be tempted but no funds at the moment as I've other photo priorities...
Depends whether it's a trip to the shops or with photographical intent, here. I've always got my mobile on me (3 lousy MPels); the normal bag has an olympus e-500 (+2 lenses) and bronica SQa (+80mm lens - the 105mm comes out rarely) in it. (Sometimes it gets cut-down to the olympus if space is a premium.) Real excursions merit the Shen Hao.
