Do You Take Your "DSLR" With You Everywhere?

[klava]

I like the concept of having a body and a lens only, hence my Canon EOS 5D Mark III and Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 USM are the only kit I can carry with me for everyday us- but it's too much weight and bulk to carry everyday leading to lost of interest in taking pictures

I don't. Especially when I'm going fishing

Me too. I wish I do, though.

 

[Ysarex]

Nope. I bought one of these so I'd have a camera I could take everywhere, and I do keep it with me always.

Nope, I have a real lfe. A camera is not always part of it.

Depends on how you define "everywhere". There are always at least two bodies and a basic lens kit in my truck...

I used to but I got tired of lugging it around... I recently just picked up a Samsung NX300 though. Replaced my work EliteBook 8560w with an ASUS MeMO Pad FHD 10 LTE and replaced my full size backpack with a Lowepro StreamLine Sling. So I can now basically take everything with me everywhere I go. On the days I know photography is the primary activity I take my DSLR setup in a bigger backpack.

No, a high quality pocket camera with a large sensor is a better size and weight choice on many occasions where a camera may or may not be used.

if im going out at the weekend to town or on a day trip, yeah, otherwise no, my phone has a good camera. If i have my man-bag my T70 if often somewhere in it (I find the older 70s/80s SLRs with thier flatter squarer shape fit in such places much better than a compact dslr).

No, I don't take mine when I got to the bathroom. That would just be too obsessive.

Not to mention probably illegal in Oklahoma. Most everything else is. :lmao::lmao::lmao:


Sorry there neighbor, couldn't pass that one up.

I don't in day-to-day life, but I have considered keeping the old body and a cheap lens in my truck. There has been many mornings and evenings, to and from work, where I wish I had something to shoot with.

No, I rely on an iPhone for a number of social situations where it's easier to carry; I sometimes use the app called FastCamera, which shoots full-rez at VERY fast frame rates on the iPhone, and I will in lower-light situations, allow the iPhone to shoot 15 or 16 frames in 2 seconds or so, and go thru them later. THe issue is that the iPhone has a fast (f/2.8 or f/2.4,depending on model) lens, but the programmers left it so the shutter stays at a slooooow speed, such as 1/15 second, and at low ISO (base is 80, top is 1,000 ISO), so in lower-light indoor or outdoor scenarios, SUBJECT movement is a big problem. FastCamera takes what normally would be a 1- or 2-frame opportunity using the Apple camera application, and gives you 8 frames per second or so to choose from.

My Panasonic 10x Optical Stabilizer P&S has died, come back to life, died, then come back to life, and is now shooting in a lovely purple and white, so there went $399 down the toilet.

I went to BestBuy yesterday and looked at dozens of cameras...I liked the Sony RX100 a lot...and Ysarex's Samsung also is nice...

I often do keep my camera (in a pelican case) in the truck when I am working.

But no I don't take it everywhere and I don't use it every day. The title is different from the actual poll I see.

 

[DorkSterr]

I used too. Got too heavy and gave me shoulder pain.
