Canon D30 for street work. Bessa R3A and Konica T3 autoreflex when I want film.
35mm "walk around" is a last resort to MF or LF for me. Too many times a good shot is lost when enlarged. My serious "walk around" camera is the Iskra 2 loaded with Portra 160VC or Astia 100F. Then of course there is "Kong", the "Speed Graphic" for the "money" shots,I wish.
A quick Iskra 2 shot before the weather change.
Regards.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be
a mile away and you'll have their shoes.
I'm with David Goldfarb on this one: German folders rule. I go for the Balda Super Baldax -- it's a little bigger than the Perkeo but has a coupled rangefinder, much faster to shoot that way. I won't post examples to the board but you can find samples at this URL:

As for Jeffrey Sipress's remark about MF cameras being too big: My Balda shoots 6x6 but it's smaller and lighter than most 35mm rangefinders. So there! :-P

But what would I do with the backpack then?
It's kind of nice to be able to shoot in low light tho - which rules out the medium format folders for walking when it isn't bright out.
Frank! I have one word for you:
Diafine.

(Handheld folder shot @ 1/5 second in a dim rolling Amtrak train vestibule, en route to Florida -- TX exposed at EI 1250 and processed in Diafine.)
Sanders and I are on the same track. I use TX/Acufine with my folder when I need the extra speed. That night shot of the "Towers of Light" I posted above was f:3.5, 1 sec, with my Perkeo II braced against a signpost.
Another set of votes for the Mamiya 7ii and Canon 20D. Then add in a Leica C-Lux1 shirt-pocket digi P&S.
