Had a Stylus Epic until I loaned it to my mother...don't think I'll ever get it back.
I always have something with me but in a bag or around my neck. If I'm really wanting small I'll laod the Agat 18.

Canon A70 digicam when someone else hasn't borrowed it, Kodak Retina IIa. But I usually have an RF in the car or bag or both.

Today it's an XA ... sometimes my Lomo or the camera that it was copied from the Cosina CX-1. I really like my Retina's but find them a bit on the heavy side for a pocket. I have more pocket sized cameras than I know what to do with. I tend to find them in thrift stores and pack them home. I have a little Minolta that takes fantastic photos but I can remember the model number off the top of my head ... something like PC-A ...

I have a Yashica Super T5 D (D for date back) with the great little Zeiss Tessar lens and the sneaky "Super Scope" waist level like finder.
It is one of the only cameras I have bought new and have taken some great pics with it. Unfortunately I just don't use it these days which is a shame, not helped by the fact that when I think of selling it I always manage to convince myself otherwise. 😀
...they have since become a rather cult classic mainly due to Terry Richardson and the fact that these camera are his "axe" of choice for big fashion shoots for Vogue and the like. Strange but true...
Ooops forgot to add, have been using the Contax IIa a lot lately and its more to my taste and still quite, well almost, pocketable.

Minox 35gt. just too bad its not a "real" rangefinder. Or may be thats good? Less time spent on focusing.

I carry my domke satchel pretty much everywhere, so I usually have an MP or M3 with 50mm lens wherever I go. My most pocketable camera is a Rollei 35 that I was given a deal on, but I must admit that I have not really used it much yet. Something about zone focusing with a 40mm lens makes me a little queasy. I suppose it works.

Bessa T with C/V 21, or Leica M6 with C/V 40/1.4. The 35/1.4 is a little too big for my pocket. (Shaved the frameline selector on the Nokt to bring up the 35 lines on the M6.)

It's a toss-up these days. Either the Olympus SP, Bessa R or (sssh) the Olympus D595 P&S digital.

Always a Contax T
I don't carry a camera in my pocket, but I do usually have one over my shoulder or in a belt pouch. Light meters; now those go in pockets!

I use a Ricoh R35, bought a set of three with a rebate, one for my wife, one for my son and one for me.
I took it because of the nice 4/30mm fixed lens and because you can use it with manual focus and aperture priority which allows a bit of tuning the DOF.
A nice hood for the lens is included, it's got a hotshoe for an external flash and one can mount filters ! The image quality is very good and size is small enuff to take it with you everywhere.

Once I can get the thing working, I'm thinking of carrying the Olympus Pen around with me everywhere. Fits in the pocket of my jeans and will take 72 shots on a roll. May take the Canon Demi instead as well, though that's harder to focus.

That Olympus Pen mast be great, my dream P&S is the Ricoh GR1 and I have a free pocket. 🙂

Chapstick, cell phone, fifty one cents, and my Bessa R either around my neck (actually I like to carry it across instead of around). I sometimes have my F-1 in a bag on my back, but the Bessa is never far away.

PS I am looking to snag an Oly XA. Now that will fit in my pockets, and hopefully replace the darn cell phone!!

Nothing, I'm just happy to see you.

Used to be a Ricoh GR1V but now it's a tiny Sony digicam - which works amazingly well!
