how often do you have your camera?

Published by: anonym 2009-01-08

hmm, seems we cant do polls, but how often do you have your camera on you? I always keep my bag with me most of the time, usually not when I go get fast food or beer run and such. I do have a friend that has his in hand at all time, im sure he sleeps that way too.

so how often do you guys carry your camera with you? just for planned shoots? never?

I carry mine a good percentage of the time except when doing errands, etc and most work days. When i wake up early enough before work though I can shoot 5 minutes down the road to a wildlife area and catch a sunrise. If I'm going some where leisurely, I will more than likely take it, just in case.

I take mine any time for a shoot obviously, when I travel for hobby or vacation (I even sacrifice shoes to carry the tripod). I take it to some parties, but not all. If I think it may get a little crazy, the baby stays at home. I wouldn't want her to get hurt.

The heat is also too bad here to leave it in the car and if it got stolen, I would probably just die. (Of course, if I would get the friggin' thing insured this wouldn't be a concern.)

only take it with me when I plan to shoot.

only on very few occasions I regretted not having it on me. most cases were when I was running in the woods and ran into some wildlife.

I'm usually the same way, but right now I feel really stupid for not having my gear with me. The company I work for is doing lighting and audio for some of these last big political rallies for the U.S. Presidential race, and I have even better accesses than the press, but and because everything is so last second planning, I didn't even think to grab my cameras and lenses before getting on the truck!:grumpy:

Perhaps your camera was a ?special?. Presume you sent the serial number with the inquiry -- if they don?t reply, guess you?ll have to badger them.

I'm really thinking I should get a G9 or G10 to always carry for cases like these.

I carry a camera where ever I go with the exception of work (not allowed). Usually a single camera and 1 lens (on occasion 2 lenses) in a regular messenger bag which is used to carry a variety of personal items.

My Kiev 4 goes everywhere my Canon gear doesn't. Unless I want to shoot digital and the weather is bad, then I grab the E1.

I only carry it with me when I know I'll be using it. It's very rare that I kick myself for not having it with me and I'm always a bit worried having to keep an eye on it when I'm out so I figure it's not worth taking everywhere.

If there is a small chance that I might use a camera, then I take along a pocket camera. If a videoclip is possible, then I will take along a superzoom or compact. I will only take a DSLR and accessories out if I am going out to shoot.

I've also been considering picking up the new nikon P&S because the bag and camera are just too much of a hassle.

I always have the Nikon 5200 in the cah which is always near by. I bring out the D200 when I am specifically shooting photographs.

I nikon E8800 P&S comes with me about 75% of the time. I have the Nikon dSLR when I want to take the better quality shots.

My camera bag is like my wife's purse...I don't go anywhere without it. It used to drive her nuts...until I got a photo on the bottom fold of the front page of the Dayton Daily. Now we leave the house and I hear "C'mon, Peter Parker, grab your bag"....:lol:

I have a combination laptop/camera bag. It fits my 17" laptop, power supply, various computer gadgets, the D300, all of its lenses and accessories. I drag it almost everywhere. At just under 30 pounds, I count it as my workout regimen as well.

I need the laptop for work and the camera for my addiction.

I never casually carry my camera... If it is with me, I am there to shoot. I do however haul it around in a backpack (about 12 - 16 lbs) with my 70-200 2.8 & a nifty fifty (to offset weight:lol:) and I sometimes I do not find something interesting to shoot, turning my photographic adventure into a simple bike ride, with extra weight.

I'm expecting a carbon monopod any day now, and in addition to shedding a few pounds (7 lb tripod) I think it will also suit my shooting style.

I take it everywhere! Even w/ the bulky bag I carry it in! Sometimes it stays in the car ... but it's always available!

D40 is always on me. I bring the D300 for "really important" stuff. lol

Im startin to carry the film a lot more than the digi these days

My cam goes along with me everywhere i go, got a bridge P&S(G9) for this very reason.Potability.
Fits well in a formal trouser's pocket.

Only when I know I'm going to need it.

It's too hot here (usually) to leave it in the car, and I can't take it to work with me, so I just leave it at home unless I plan on using it.

i take it only when i know i'll be using it as here in sweden, where i'm currently living, i don't have a car, so wherever i go i get there with public transport or walking.
if i did have a car i'm sure it would be with me more often.

I don't tend to carry it round with me much unless I am going out to specifically use it - firstly its just too big and cumbersome to carry around all day - secondly I am rarely anywhere interesting to warrant taking a photo ;)

That said at some point I would like to pick up a good bridge camera - I don't think after tasting the delight of the DSLR that I could go and then happily use a pure point and shoot - so bridge camera will be a happy medium :)
