I must say that I do carry my Pentax DSLR with me about 85 percent of the time. The rest of the time I carry my Cannon A540 point and shoot along with my cell phone that I have literally with me 24/7. My favorite saying is “if you don’t see my camera I am likely not there” because it is so true!

I’ve been using a dSLR almost exclusively now for nearly two years and lately have found myself seriously considering getting and P&S just for sheer convenience when lugging the SLR and lenses around is just not practical.

Your article has all but made my mind up for me.

@Gina–I love the camera on my phone, like you I often find myself using it to snap a couple of random pictures

Since my P&S is very nearly a DSLR, I can’t say that I carry it when I wouldn’t carry the DSLR but I do, in fact, have one. I just bought a pocket camera for my teen and expect that I’ll take advantage of it’s compact size at some point in the future. I also use my phone’s camera quite often (without zoom) because I’ve found some great shots when I’m out doing the grocery shopping and I’d hate to miss it to run home for my camera. I’m a camera fiend – I’m never without SOME way of snapping a pic – even a bad one.

Thanks for the reply I’m terrified to leave my camera gear out in the car, I think of it as a baby and no one in their minds is gonna leave a baby out in a hot car :O, lol maybe I’m an over protective “parent”.

You bet I carry a point and shoot! I can’t always carry camera gear wherever I go. I live in Texas, and I don’t even want to think about what would happen to my gear if I left it in the trunk in the summer months.

And you know what? A point and shoot is a lot less intrusive in certain situations. Some people just feel more relaxed around a smaller camera. A DSLR rig may be intimidating, and that can make all the difference in getting a candid shot.

Besides, I can’t slip my DLSR into an evening bag!
