If you want your ditital photos to look more like film then why not try my go to lightroom preset, available here - www.lucylumen.com/shop/p/lucys-warm-film-preset

My OM5 from OMS with a Panasonic 20mm 1.7 is even smaller than my x100v with the retro look and just a fantastic camera to use and carry.

The thing about rangefinders is, it takes practice and even I didn't love it at first but now that I'm used to it, it's really fast and it's a tactile process and the results feel good. That said, it's not for everyone and an auto camera where you can just snap away is much easier. I think the point of the range finder is to be purposeful with your photos and take photos you want to take vs taking lots of snaps. Just my thoughts.

My picks. If someone wants better than digital P&S function and image quality I recommend the Olympus E-Pm2. Very small with say the 35mm equivalent 17 2.8 pancake but it has the same sensor and AF as the OMD5. Very well made and if you can find one the price is very attractive. For film it is the Olympus RC rangefinder. Both are tiny cameras that give big results.

I don't carry a camera with me everywhere I go, but whenever I want to bring along a camera "just in case" I bring my Rollei 35. It has an incredibly compact size, it's fully manual, and it takes amazingly beautiful photos. At first I was really intimidated by zone focusing, but after shooting a few rolls I've found that I really enjoy the process. It really forces me to be present and pay attention to the picture I'm about to take. I really like that "slow" aspect of it.

My EDC changes from month to month with the cameras I own but currently have two digicams. 1. Samsung EX2f 2. Canon Powershot SD790 IS Both are point and shoots that offer me something different. The Samsung has fast lens, manual controls, shoots RAW, flip screen, and decent ergos. The Canon is ultra compact and has a boxy shape. Something that I can hide and be super discreet with.

Great vid! I've been using an Olympus Pen EE-S lately and it's been real fun. Very small point and shoot, and the lens is extremely sharp - pair it with a fine-grained film and it will amaze you. I really want to make some big enlargements in the darkroom just to test its limits but I'm confident they'll hold up.

I could listen for hours… thank you, please keep making videos. 💙 it

I recommend having a look at the Contax Tvs. Mine is the first version of three (i believe). It has a 2x zoomlens, 28-56mm Carl Zeiss-lens that is very sharp. A fantastic camera. Easy to use also.

My X-pro1 also looks exactly like my personality. It’s more so an accessory than a full on camera to me at this point I love it

Just came back from a trip to Boston and only had my Olympus XA. Aperture priority rangefinder from a 35mm f2.8 lens. Can easily get 37 or 38 shots out of a roll if you’re careful enough. And small enough to fit inside my shirt pocket. The original XA was a rangefinder but the following series XA1-4 were zone focus cameras with the XA4 having a macro function. The flash is detachable and two options are available the A11 and A16. Pretty much the perfect travel camera, check it out!

My favorite point and shoot film camera is my Nikon 35Ti and in digital it would be my Canon G7. I also like my Canon P when I want to use a rangefinder. My favorite just walk around and shoot camera would be my Olympus Digital Pen F with the 12-40 f2.8 lens. As to your comments about your OM-10 with the Orange add ons and colorful strap, I say go for it. If you love it and it makes you want to use it that is just fantastic. Many photographers say that a camera that looks good or is a little different than everyone else’s is what makes them want to take more and better images.

This was really helpful, as I’m trying to find a reasonably compact digital camera that I could EDC along side my OM20.

I have not used a film camera in many years. My EDC is Canon M50 mark ll mirrorless with 22mm prime lens, it’s light and compact with prime lens helps makes it simple to use, when using as EDC I have it set in AP mode iso around 500 leaving me just to adjust shutter speed.

My EDC is an Olympus EM10 MkII with a Panasonic 20mm pancake lens (M4/3). It’s compact, versatile and great for street photography. I really enjoy your channel, keep up the good work.

My EDC for ages now has been the iPhone but I recently acquired a Fuji X100V and it’s brilliant! I started out with film when I was just a lad over 50 years ago, including developing and printing B&W … somehow that little X100V takes me back. It can be a fully auto point and shoot or go fully manual with those delightful tactile controls! I find myself creating B&W images as often as colour with the Fuji. Thanks for your fun video! 📷😀

I was looking at the X20 a few years ago as a pocket camera, but in the end The EM5 MKII won hands down. The price of these cameras have shot up for no apparent reason these days, and some of the asking prices now equal what people were asking for a X100 T three years ago. It is a half decent camera that doesn't take up a lot of space.

My digital EDC is my Oly EM-1 and the 7 Artisans 25mm f/0.95 as well as the Oly 14-42mm kit lens. Filmwise is different because I always like the camera that I end up using. If it's a quirky camera or a finely tuned and precise piece of equipment, I use them depending on what I want at that moment. But, if you pushed me for a camera that's both a good bit of kit and is super easy to use, I'd say my Minox 35GL would fit that bill. You should try and get yourself one, if you can. I have quite a few rangefinders and I have no trouble with the focus patches, it doesn't worry me so much.

Great channel! I don't shoot Rangefinder only canon with magic lantern crop mood 14 bit raw. but KONICA AUTO S2's lens HEXANON 45MM F1.8 is totally overlooked and fantastic (actually many use them on e.g. the sony a7 models) It needs to be fixed a bit but there are many videos on youtube about how 🔥Many konica glasses are super overlooked and really good! konica hexanon 50mm 1.7 - 40mm 1.8 - 52mm 1.8 is kickass especially together with new cameras like Eos m - 700D together with crop mood which actually makes it a Cinema camera. I think they have a super unique look and the colors and sharpness are really dope.

Typically I carry my Olympus Pen S manual half frame point and shoot. The reason is I participate in something called the Frugal Film Project. You pick a camera that has a total cost of $75 USD and a cheap film and shoot and upload each month. My camera I carry really depends on the situation. Ever since I got a Nikon 35mm f2 lens I live using it on my f100 like a point and shoot because I can use it one handed when I am with my son.

For digital, I find my Panasonic GX85 (yes, with the Pana 20mm f1.7) is quite compact and very capable. For film, I've enjoyed carrying around a Ricoh 500g/500GS, as it's so small and does tend to grab some attention!

I really like the theme of this video and I love your comment about how the practical choice isn’t always the right one. Photography can be so emotionally driven ☺️

I sold all of my camera gear (Oly PenF and EM5iii) for one camera to start over. That camera a Ricoh GR Digital II, perfect for my use and proved to me that I didn’t really need the fancier stuff just a snap focus camera. I intend to use that spares cash to get a film camera (canon 7 or other LTM rangefinder) and eventually upgrade to a GRDIV. As I shoot mostly black and white the camera doesn’t really matter for digital (at least to me)

Olympus Epic/MJU II 2.8 lens film camera and Canon PowerShot S95 or the EOS M with 22mm lens for small digital cameras. I got GAS years ago when the bottom dropped out of the film camera market so there are over 100 on my shelves and in boxes to pick from. One of the most addictive to shoot is that little black Olympus Stylus Infinity with the 35mm 3.5 lens, I love the shutter on those things.

My EDC camera currently is a Pentax Optio 330GS, here is why: - the picture style when shoot on a sunny day - one handed operation (turn on-off, zoom, snap) - pretty accurate optical viewfinder - 3x optical zoom - AF illuminator - party flash photos looks good

That was really a nice discussion 😃

Lens that good in a body that small? Olympus XA! Magic lens design. No good for you I imagine, 😅even within the rangefinder world its patch is known as difficult to work with. But it’s so small and such a great lens

My film EDC is an Olympus Mju 1. My digital EDC is a Canon Ixus 70 (Elph SD1000). Small, quick and easy to use with great results.

My digi point and shoot now is just my phone, they are shockingly good. I find it almost a cheat, like I'm not a photographer, but I'm learning to brush that off and shoot with it anyway. Film point and shoot is my Contax T2, it just works well all the time.

Need a Nikon em with the pancake lens! Still an affordable set up. Small, compact full frame SLR

I couldn’t agree more on the x20 as a digital option! It’s got an analog-ish experience available if one craves that, but the sr-auto is also absolutely fantastic to just set and forget. I love mine! Great video!

I spent 40 years doing film (Instatmatic 50 and Pentax K1000 with 35 and 50mm) so done that. Digital for the last 15 years and my go to cameras are all small consisting of Fuji X-M1 and X-E3 and Canon M10 and M200, my point and shoot is a Canon G5-X. Favourite all time is a toss up between X-M1 and M10.

My EDC is currently going back and forth between the Olympus XA and the Rollei 35. I love the size of both. The Rollei is more reliable (I’m still finding my groove with the XA), but I like that the XA has a flash and that the rangefinder better guarantees you’ve nailed the focus.

My EDC is the thoroughly impractical Rolleiflex 2.8f. It’s heavy, it’s slow. But Damon it looks good, takes beautiful images and starts conversations on the street. Perfect for portraits!

For a while I really enjoyed carrying a toy camera with me either Diana or Holga. Now I gravitate towards a TLR or SLR.

I agree with the Yashica T4. That is a fantastic camera. In digital point and shoot, I recommend the Canon G11 or the Fujifilm XP140. For EDC rangefinder, I carry a Fujifilm X-Pro3 or Fujifilm X100F. My favorite SLR carry is a Nikon FG. It’s small and light and has good programmed exposure. I put the 50mm f/1.4 lens. In digital, SLR cameras have fallen out of favor. However, I would suggest the Nikon D7000 or D200. I have owned both of these and currently own a D7000 converted to infrared.

I found a Canon S95 digicam in a box in my basement. Hardly used! Takes amazing photos and is tiny. I do lots of environmental portraits here in DC and NYC and frankly I could easily use it in lieu of bigger, heavier, “better” cameras - Llkoolwhip

As much as I love my cameras, my choice is my iPhone 13 Pro with the NOMO CAM app. Everything from classic Leica and Olympus cameras to instant and even quirky toy and disposable cameras. Over 50 different film camera simulations in my pocket, can't beat it.

Another good lightweight film SLR camera is a Minolta Maxxum (Dynax) 5. Has manual control when you want it or just leave it in either aperture or shutter priority.

Film and processing is just too expensive for me, so all my shooting is done digitally. My favorite digicam since I bought it in '09 is the Canon SD780. So tiny but so capable. Goes in a little Domke case on my belt. My first copy I managed to break. My second I got on ebay before the prices went up, c. $25. Also use an SD1200 that's very nice. $7 at a garage sale. When I'm in a more serious mood, it's my Olympus EM5 Mk I, usually with the Lumix 12-32.

Good tips! I love your approach of feeling first gear second. I think we don’t really appreciate that enough in life. My personal picks are Fujifilm x70, Sony Cybershot T7 for digital compacts, Minolta hi matic AF2 & olympud AF1 Super for film compacts, Fujifilm X-Pro1 for a rangefinder and an X-T4 & Canon A1 for the SLRs. But of course I’ll keep switching out as I thrift and buy more cameras

My EDC cams: Film - Olympus XA Digicam - Canon Powershot G2 The 100% carry is my iphone

I’ve had a 35mm camera forever. The first was a Kodak Pony 135 in 1958. Now it’s a Contax G1 w/45mm f2.0 for film and the Fujifilm X-E4 w/30mm f1.4 for digital. If I need something a little wider and less weight I will put the 27mm f2.8 on the X-E4. That’s it.

You are so right about those Cameradyctal grips! When I put a purple one on my Pentax MX, it turned that camera into my film SLR EDC. With the grip and the 40mm pancake, it’s nearly ergonomically perfect.

The comment about Fuji/Faizal is so real because he's the sole reason I want a fuji camera and almost rented the X100V for a trip I'm going on soon lol

Minolta TC-1 or Ricoh R1s (film) / Ricoh GRIII (digital) 😁

Nikon 35Ti. Pocketable, easy to hold, photos are perfect.

I'm using an Olympus em10 mark 3 and a dji 15mm. I like that it's compact and easy to control. Maybe I'll go for a little wider lenses in the future.

I'll admit, the camera I have with me every day is my iPhone; it's great for family photos of my little guy and daily life! As for a camera, I always take one along, it's an SLR, and it all depends on what's happening. The heavy-hitter is the D750, while the film is the F5 or Maxxum 9. If size/weight is an issue, I'll go with the Nikon FE2. I don't have many rangefinders; the same reason I don't get along with same, save my Contax IIIa, but it's starting to develop some problems.

Really enjoyed this video and greatly appreciate your perspective and insights. Thank you! I have been trying to find an EDC camera for 20 years or so! Tried the Canonet (too heavy), Olympus Trip (not enough control), Canon Powershot A610 (AF lag), Lumix LX100 (too bulky and heavy) and Lumix TZ10 (can't see the screen on a sunny day). I have just ordered at Canon Powershot G12. Hopefully that will be the one! Having a viewfinder and RAW capture are vital for me, I've realised.

I had the X20 and foolishly sold it. I agree with you its a fantastic camera. My EDC is the OM-1 it's small and with the 50/f1.8 a great perfomer. I carry a PEN S from time to time. With 72 shots I shoot in almost digital "spray and pray" mode and not so precious with each frame. Lots more candids that way. A nice little pocketable folder is the Voigtlander Vito II. Slim enough to slide in your pocket and eas the point and shoot of its time. Loved the video.

EDC ,only camera if you don't count a Crown Graphix 4x5, is a Leica M10 usually with a 35mm Summicron V2 (1969) due to it small pancake design or if I want to go even smaller a 3.5cm Summaron F3.5. Think camera choice is very personnel and though I love using the M system from the time I got a M4-2 film camera in 2009 but can understand why ranger finders are not for everyone and don't see why anyone would force them selves to use one if they didn't enjoy.

I used to love my nikon coolpix 7900, many moons ago! All in on Sony now. a7iii 📷

dave hancock has an excellent video on replacing light seals with cotton yarn. I just bought a sheet of light seal foam from japan because the average age of cameras in my collection is 54. I hear you on the lack of enthusiasm for rangefinders but i've grown quite fond of them and tlrs in the last month. They make it so easy to drop a nd, red or green filter on the lens. If you want a lighter 35mm slr build you should check out the humble pancake lens. they are small. I wish i could have a positive emotional response when using a 35mm for a walk about camera. I just love the big negative to much. It's all situation dependent. I'm rotating between a tlr, prewar-folder and mamiya 645 for a general purpose walkabout kit. They all garner to much attention. I want to capture a moment on film anonymously and be almost invisible. When people see me with vintage kit i become part of that moment. the curious, people with memories of family with cameras swarm around and make it impossible to shoot. It's like taking a cute puppy to the park everyone wants to pet it and tell you about their dog. I use digital as a polaroid to get a good estimate if i'm clipping highlights or blocking up shadows. That's an easy answer for a walkabout camera. apsc mirrorless without a viewfinder. the 35mm f2 fuji is tiny and stopped down the performance is acceptable. It's real fun to throw rangefinder glass on there. that's 24mp in a coat pocket. Don't be afraid of melding the newest tech with your vintage gear. I managed to get a new godox trigger and flash working with a 70 year old tlr this weekend. It could a hotshoe meter, new glass, or a cheap trigger to a pocket flash.

Inspired by the EDC idea. I have a nice option. Probably missing out by not having it on my person regularly.

For me, I love my Olympus XA2 as a film edc camera. Digital, the Ricoh GRIII; it's a tiny camera but with an APS-C sensor, and the image quality is outstanding. Both fit easily in a pocket, but I also love the OM10 for days when I know I want to shoot photos.

Im still very new to photography so i just carry around my Pentax SP500 everywhere I go. Though at this point in my hobby im 100% an SLR fanboy and often leave my Ektar H35 at home regardless

The Yashica T4 has been my fun go-to for over 25 years. My "serious" one is Leica M3. No digital fir me unless phone camera counts. LOL

For EDC my option are Petri Racer 35mm, Canon G12. For heavier depending on my mood/need mamiya/sekor 1000dtl, Contax 139q(my fav). If i wam medium format Bronica ETRSI, or Yashica Mat 124. Still putting together my DSLR kits

my "now EDC" for film cameras are Nikon One Touch Zoom 90 and Nikon EF500SV! already fell in love with EF500SV tbh since its 28mm, but still uses free focus lens. for digicams are Canon PowerShot A540 and Kodak EasyShare C140, both are still under 10MP! but I still want to add Yashica T4 like yours for my collection if I have enough money hahah

At the moment for film cameras my Canon L2 rangefinder is the everyday, for digital its always my Sony a7c.The a7c for me is the perfect everyday full frame digital camera.

For me it would do if it can something inbetween 28-50mm. Close focus is a nice bonus (My X100 does pretty well). On My A7 got a std zoom 28-70 that is nice due to the range as IS. Primes can be iffy due to the MFD.

I understand your comment about the time taken to take 72 shots although slightly more expensive 24 exposure films help, I suppose the other option is bulk roll and a film loader. If you like a bright grip and strap you should consider a wrist or body tether in case you get unwanted attention

Film:olympus om2n,ricoh 500g,zorki 4 Digicam:olympus omd 10 mk 2 and olympus omd 5 mk 2

You are what's known as a film star. Bloody loved the video as usual.

My EDC is a Ricoh GRiii, small, easy to carry around in your pocket. Can be used on auto, or other modes if needed. Perfect for the street or travel. Great lens. For film, the only film camera I have that still works is the Nikon F80. Need to do more with this coz digital has pretty much taken over for me.

My personnal EDC is a Nikon Coolpix A for digicam. And sometime I switch between a Nikon L35AF 2nd gen and Nikon TW Zoom for film camera. I'm a long time Nikon user (kinda fanboy since I only buy nikon stuff)

My EDC SLR is also an OM10 with the manual adapter. I bought it new when my original OM1 was stolen. I wanted the aperture-priority feature, but the OM2 was out of my price range. It still works fine nearly 40 years later.

The cameras look great too 😅✌️

I was looking for this video, also gr3at to see a fellow goldcoast mate.

Always seem to have some sort of 35mm point and shoot with me and my XT5. Another great video!

My current active film camera is a voightlander Vito, which is tiny and has a folding lens that hides behind a door. I struggle with the controls, as it is scale focussing, and has no meter. But the feel and size make me just want to have it with me everywhere. My hope is to grow in confidence with guessing exposure until I don’t need to pull out my phone to help.

For film, Nikon FM2. It gives me joy to take pictures with it. I just bought a Canon G9 on the digital end of things. It fits in my pocket and takes great pics. And I’ve paid for a Fuji X100v but won’t be getting that for a few months because they’re on backorder.

I'm in love with the Olympus Pen F (the old one from the 60's)

Excellent post! I enjoyed carrying the Olympus XZ-2 with a leather half case to make it a little more wieldy along with a wrist strap. I got in over 450 photos one morning walking around Tokyo and didn't feel fatigued. The CCD sensor is awesome! I rarely used the zoom and shot mainly wide. But a Fujifilm XQ1 (tiny!) just arrived and I look forward to using it on some hiking and business trips, especially with the F1.8 aperture and 25mm equivalent focal length.

My EDC bag has a Fujifilm X100T digital, a Nikon 35Ti film camera, and a Fuji Instax mini Evo.

My Canon EOS100D/SL1 with a fixed 24mm pancake lens is a very compact and fairly light combination (645 grams) I can slot it in my messenger bag and it gives me great control when taking photos.

My very first camera was LC-A and it became my everyday camera for a long time. I've started to shoot on Fuji X100S as film had become too much expensive here on Russia. It's my favourite camera now for it's colours, lightness and ergonomics. I've also found shooting on digicams a lot of fun not so long ago and I shoot on Lumix DMC LX-2 now too.

Good point about editing photos. I usually spend about a minute checking and putting minimum changes on my scans, but I cannot understand this Lightroom stuff or be bother with it. Btw I use film mostly also (contax ii and yashica tlr user) and have Panasonic one in cameras which are easier to use whe i do do digital

My EDC is my CanonRP. I take it everywhere. I would take my AE-1 out more if I was comfortable and the prices weren’t too crazy.

This was great video, no you certainly don't come across as film snob. You come across as someone who enjoys photography, more film than digital and that is only the method of recording. I was film upto 4 years ago, owning OM1,( from 1872), and Olympus IS3000 . It has taken me 4 years to get used to my Fuji XE1 . Still get frustrated re setting. Digital certainly alot lighter to carry then OM system but enjoy both now. Keep up the great videos. Kaipara New Zealand.

I totally agree about rangefinders, I just don't like them, even though I have gone the M route. I second the OM 10 but my digital carry is an Olympus E PL9 with 17mm f1.8 & Olympus optical VF1 view finder. The lens can be used in real manual focus, including zone focus, or auto & has a pop up flash.

Ah... the backup camera!!! The first time I played a gig with my band, I didn't have extra strings or a backup guitar ... rolled with it ... I have never had to worry about it photograph-wise ... but i don't do pro photo stuff ... only personal!!! I kinda just roll with whatever happens!!!

For me, it's the Canon EOS 300V with either the 50mm f1.8 or 40mm f2.8 pancake lens for slr. The Konica Minolta Dynax 5D with either my Sigma 30mm f1.4 or Sony 20mm f2.8 lens for dslr. When it comes to rangefinders, I have to pick the Minolta Hi-Matic 7s over my Leica options - because as a daily carry, the much cheaper Minolta has a lot to offer. Compacts... The Minolta Riwa zoom 70W is so small, but delivers beautiful photos, it's my pick at the moment. For digital compacts, I find myself picking up the Olympus XZ-1 (I.Zuiko digital lens) and the Sigma DP1s a lot. I also a like good bridge camera like the Olympus C-8080 wide zoom (a very heavy camera, but with a lens made at the same factory as the contemporary Zuiko lenses and of the same quality) and I have just added the Olympus C-730 ultra zoom to my line-up. For the super compact and definitely pocketable option, I just picked up a Canon IXUS i5 - the smallest dedicated camera, I have ever owned (even smaller than the Olympus Mju 400 digital).

For absolute compactness, I'd go with my Sony A7R III and an APS-C pancake lens, the 20mm f/2.8. If you like the grainy, high-contrast b&w look of that Art mode in the Olympus DSLR, most of the later Olympus Micro Four Thirds bodies have that, and many of them are very small and compact. Canon also has a similar mode in its lower end Rebel DSLRs, and they rank among the smallest and lightest.

I seldom shoot film but when I do it is with a Pentax MESuper. It is a very small SLR. I have an Olympus Trip 35 which I haven't tried yet. My EDC digital is an Olympus micro 4/3 camera, either of the four models I own, usually with a 17mm prime lens (but I do have options such as the excellent 45mm). I also have a Sony a6000 but I am not fond of using it so it mostly just comes to family events for snapshots.

Loved my T4 but the pressure plate came off???? Now it is just a paper weight with an amazing lens!!!!

For 4 days in Paris I used only the Sony RX1R2 for 1.000 shots. That’s my EDC. About 20 pictures analogue with Yashica FX-D with Distagon 2,8 28mm

My EDC is a Canon VT Deluxe with a Voightlander 21mm f4 Color Skopar/LH1 hood yellow B+W filter loaded with Rollei RPX 100 film

Nice the see the X20! It sounds you don't like to bring bigger camera's and prefer the smaller point and shoot camera's and I can understand that especially if you’re out and a bout with your family. Its funny that you named the Olympus Pen with the SLR’s because its technically a SLR but many of the PEN series are not so many consider them a rangefinder. Its also pretty small, a Leica M might even be bigger with most lenses. To me it sounds even better than the Point and shoots you like to bring maybe with the exception of the Yashica T4. I would love to own one since I don’t like point and shoots at all because of the fully auto settings. 
That said my ADC is a Leica M6 and it taken me like 10 years to finally get the perfect camera for my every day carry, as I tried many (cheaper) camera’s but none of them sparked the same joy.
I don’t care for flash, I don’t like automatic settings and manual focus needs to be smooth and available. The reason I sold my X100 is because the manual focus is horrible on that camera which is a same because it was almost perfect as a ADC especially when film is getting way to expensive.

My EDC is an Olympus OMD E-M5 mkII with a 17mm 2.8 pancake lens. Fits in my short pocket. All the controls I could possibly want and can wirelessly upload the images into my Google Photos library on my phone.

I usually go back and forth between my Fuji xpro 3 and Leica TL2. If it’s anything moving or requiring fast AF, it’s the Fuji for sure. Anything else at all…definitely the Leica. Just renders more natural looking to my favoring without the trending clinical over sharpened look.

My current EDC is a Diana F+ as i have given myself the challenge of getting the best possible (black & white) photos from a Plastic Fantastic camera. I was inspired by the photos by Michael Kenna in his book "Holga".

ten for aesthetic expression!!

As a preface, I enjoy your videos but I'm probably not in your target market. I'm 65 and retired and began photography before digital was an option. I don't look for the kinds of things you photographs; I've always been passionate about natural and artificial landscapes. I do enjoy looking at your photographs, even if I have little interest in making them myself. That said, when I'm out and a out without the specific intent of making a photograph, I carry my Konica Big Mini, usually loaded with Tri-X. It has an excellent lens, only a short shutter lag and in twelve years has only missed focus once, unlike my Olympus Stylus cameras. If I intend to take pictures it's more complicated. I still love my Minolta SRT-101 35mm SLR but it wasn't new when I bought it and shows its age. Also, the light meter was designed to use no longer available mercury batteries. It was converted to use modern alkaline batteries but exposure is now a matter of opinion, more or less. If I want a 35mm camera I grab my Minolta 800si super-duper big bodied 1990s SLR but alas, I have to admit that I don't often shoot 35mm. When I want a larger negative, which usually is the case, I take my 1939 vintage Rollieflex New Standard. Excellent lens and extremely light but no built in light meter and it occasionally doesn't advance film properly because 120 format film base was thicker back then. I also have a Kiev 88 but I'm not in love with it. But I'm usually wanting a larger negative, so... When I intend to make pictures I take my ancient Burke & James 5x7/4x5 view camera, usually with Ilford FP4+ or HP5+. This is neither lightweight nor compact, I admit, but given the opportunity it's what I carry. I don't do digital. I don't hate it; I'm grateful that it made so much film equipment affordable. I was a computer programmer/systems analyst/IT manager for 40 years and for a number of years was the go-to company photographer using Nikon digital cameras and lenses. I just never fell in love with the digital process or workflow. My darkroom is my refuge and playground and have no intention to give it up. Anarchic, I know, but hey, the world needs goofy old farts, too! I hope...

XA and S95 are EDCs for me!

For film point and shoot cameras I can't say much, maybe the Minox 35, but many models are not fully automatic and they can suffer from many reflection if the light source is in the frame, but they are pretty sharp. Maybe in the RF category... For digital, I have a Ricoh GR IIIx, and the first time I saw the files I was really amazed for how sharp is that lens! I owned a Fujifilm X30, beautiful camera, but I didn't liked files, so I sold it. SLR/DSLR or Mirrorless in my opinion are not really "every day carry", especially if you think about a digital FF.

i have everyday 2 cams, always an ixus 90is and for film an olympus xa or an Ricoh FF1 both top lenses... greets BM

You should definitely try OMD series if you like older DSLR Olympus. I have a pen e-p1 which is compact and pretty interesting in terms of image quality. You have also the OMD EM10 mk2 which are becoming DIRT cheap and are small, not too heavy, offer amazing pancake lenses AND a flash + viewfinder. This was my first camera ever, and I wanted it small to bring them with me everywhere. I did then switch to the OMD OM1 which is cool but less compact.

Cool take on the EDCC syndrome and great editing. I usually bring my Trip 35 and XA cameras around, and for digital the Sony RX100 III or Ricoh CX5 or GRD. I just had my Yashica T4 serviced so that will probably get a good run for the money. And I don't mind carrying SLR's around, an EOS or Contax 137MD or any Minolta SRT. Yes, I usually bring several cameras around.
