Do you always carry your DSLR with you?
I dont always (maybe the fact that I just got my first DSLR last week), prior to that I most always had my Canon S3 IS or Fuji F100FD with me.
So I was just curious - do you always have a DSLR with you or just a P&S or nothing?

BUT there are times I purposely don't take it.
.
There are so many times that I deliberately go out and shoot that I do not want a camera with me when I am not purposefully traveling with my camera.
Otherwise, for important photo emergencies, I have an N80 loaded with Fuji 200 in the trunk of my car. Old school, but better than a P&S. (although I'm sure someone will debate that)

- over the course of last 12 months, how many times did you used the said gear for such an "unexpected shoot"?
- if you did, would you mind sharing the results (liks are fine)?
Speaking from my own personal experience, I had two cases over ~7-8 years when there were some curios sky effects that benefited from being captured on a decent camera. However, I must honestly say that my typical commute was dull and short (plus SoCal skies are notoriously featureless most of the time), so I don't discard the possibilities of the fact that people commuting in a more scenic areas can actually benefit from the habit of carrying the stuff around...Philadelphia Flyers arriving to play the NY Islanders:
I will say my "strangest" catch was seeing workers install this giant replica of "American Gothic" in a local park

From there, in the order of convenience, I add a P&S, small old film SLR, and DSLR.
Keep the old 300D with 18-200 mm in the dry box in the boot of the car. Bring along the 5D mount with 24-105 and flash for all business trip. Optional 17-40 and 70-200 F2.8 depends on how much free I can get overseas.

I also do some freelance work for the local newspapers and assignments can happen while on the road, so that is one reason to always keep a camera on hand.
I also use the camera for scout work while looking for locations.
