One reason I switch back to film when I photograph for myself is to be able to carry small rangefinder 35 mm or MF cameras without sacrificing image quality and control.
When I go out however without any real intentions to photograph anything specific, I carry either an Olympus XA2, Pen EES or lately an Mju.

I used to have one with me all the time. Lately I don't. I'm thinking that maybe just tucking my Fed 2b with collapsible lens into my jacket pocket might be fun again. The 3.5 lens is a bit on the slow side, but my E-P2 has the a slow lens as well... So I may just start doing that again.

Just got a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 (great camera for stuff that's not moving, particularly small stuff for evilbay). Works well at ISO 100-200. Not so well above 200. Fits in most pockets. So I alternate between it and my Oly XA. Sometimes I carry both.

my m2 with compact cron 40/2 & epic. Or just epic
I don't feel the need to have a camera with me all the time... especially on dates, etc. I bring a camera when I feel like bringing one...

An M goes with me everywhere 95% of the time, but I don't see an option for a rangefinder in your poll, oddly

I typically carry a camera bag everywhere I go. Sometimes it has Pentax SLR/DSLR cameras and lenses in it. Sometimes it has a TLR. Sometimes, a rangefinder. sometimes it just has odds and ends, like auto-everything P&S cameras and folders. It depends what mood I'm in, why I'm shooting, and how much room I have. Most of the time, though, the bag has an SLR, TLR or Rangefinder in it. All of my RFs currently are fixed-lens (Save the M2, for which I only have one lens anyway, and won't be shooting till I get it CLA'd.)
When I can't or don't have a camera bag, I always have a Pentax Optio A40 on me. Always. It's a beautiful little digital compact with plenty of manual control and image quality.
When I can't even get away with the A40, I have my iPhone 3Gs, which, honestly, is enough point-and-shoot for almost anyone.

Hmm...It seems I might have added more options; no rangefinder option, right?
Well, I think that most 24x36 rangefinders would qualify as "small analogue cameras" whereas a 120 rangefinder in my terminology would qualify as "medium format analogue camera".
So if some of you are still in doubt - please click the boxes according to the above description
Happy shooting - no matter what gear you are carrying (or not)...

My job has nothing to do with my camera hobby, so I cannot bring with me intruding camera equipment. It has to fit into my notebook backpack. Sometimes I don't even have a backpack, so it is important, the camera is pocketable!
When pocket size is a must, I carry alternatively:
Panasonic DMC-FX30
Minolta Vectis-300
Rollei B35
Minolta Vectis-300L
(Don't blame me for the APS for P&S in good light condition they are still a good small toy.)
If I have my notebook backpack I also carry sometimes the Ricoh 500GX.
And, very few time, I got a good shot with the Nokia N73.
