I usually have my X100 with me or a small film point and shoot.

I have a laptop and gym gear to carry to work so my 5D II, Tripod & gear doesnt stand a chance. I dont ever leave home without my canon s95 and a gorillapod.

Ive found it indespensable on more than a few occasions. sure the 5d would have been nice, but the s95 is an amazingly versatile and high quality camera for a pocketable camera.

I go to the swimming pool after work every evening.

I'm not leaving my camera in a hot humid locker then taking it back outside into the cold (while carrying it in the same bag as my wet swim kit!)

I bring a small digital camera everywhere in my van. I live in Sweden and I am trying to get a good pic of hawks and falcons which I see resting on posts regularly along the quiet country roads I drive on everyday. Unfortunately, the dam buggers fly off every time I stop to get the pic!

insurance is key. At times its actually safer to leave gear in car then in a locker room lol.

i heard many people leave gear in their car!

You might want to double check with your insurance company that the full value of your camera gear is covered in your car (and at the time of day you are leaving it there).

only bit i don comply with is "Locked Luggage Compartment" god knows what that means but no car has a locked luggage compartment and if they mean that your camera bag is locked then whats the point as the thieft takes the whole bag anyway.

Also, if they can easily break in your car, im pretty sure they can easily unlock a locked luggage compartment

The boot?

jonneymendoza

What constitutes a locked luggage compartment? a locked luggage compartment is something like a glove compartment or something inside the car that has its own separate lock.

when its inside the boot, its not on its seperate lock because as soon as the theift break the window etc they have access to all stuff inside the car

magicbastarder

generally speaking, if it's not in the glove compartment or boot, you're not covered.

FYI my gear was stolen from my boot approx 18 months ago. The thieves were opportunists who broke into six cars in the same car park. On some they broke windows, on others removed the back window by cutting around the seals. They struck lucky with my boot! Thankfully I was insured, but I still had a few sleepless nights while the claim was being processed. On renewal my excess went up significantly if a future claim involves theft from the car again. I never leave camera gear in the car any more! You might think it will never happen to you, but it might...

pete4130

Yes.

Snowie

my camera has never been inside of a boot because its always 3 feet with in reach i carry it every were i go even if its to the shops...

To quote a pro..

Best camera is the one you left at home!

Yes. I don't get a chance of taking pics very often, so if I'm going to have any moment free on the way in, or back, or in between, I'm not going to miss it. Can't take it in to work as it's not legal, unless specifically asked to take pics.

The camera stays in the boot, or under mess/a jacket somewhere in the banger.
The car is not in a public space during the day, our car park is pretty well supervised and nothing has ever happened there. I'm lucky not to be in a big town, I can go about my business and I'm rarely worried about it.

Of course mine is just a little K-x, cheap thing, I do have most lenses in the bag, but they're not the dearest of the dear either.

I like having one of the cheaper cameras for that reason, less stress.

Simple really. ......leave your gear at home then!

I got a new job last week!
They've got a guarded car park that is overlooked by the security centre - it only holds about 400 cars and they drive around it every few minutes! So I brought my camera in for the first time ever yesterday.

Shot over to Howth straight after finishing at 2pm for a shoot in Howth. I plan on bringing it in more often, too - I need to shoot more often and the early shift is a blessing for it.

If you have a smart phone and instagram why bother worrying about bringing your camera everywhere. Just use your phone. It's the way things are going.

Since my only work at the moment is photography, yes, I do. Would I take it to a work place if I got a job? I doubt it, but there are going to be times I would, but would keep it in a safe place
