Rx100. After 10 sub zero days, getting wet a few times, and a good bash with my snowmobile handlebars, it is tougher than it looks. Even my Olympus "tough" camera slows down enough to make it basically unusable at those temps.
not so nice to operate the controls with gloves on, that's kind of a bummer

RX100. My other cameras are just for show. I've worn off the paint in spots.

Thankfully I have two pockets at the back of my jeans - left Oly mju-ii, right GR.

GR and A7 on a daily basis. When I'm pushed to not even have my daily bag with me. Then the GR and phone and wallet.

That is a VERY good question. I think I left it in a hotel room this time. I don't recall where I lost my last one. I'm gonna feel like an idiot buying another charger (and batteries).

Still hard to beat the LX5, (only because I don't have a 7) for "grab and go" and it's usually in the day bag, but the iPhone is in my pocket within reach 95% of the time and it's pretty darn good for a phone.

I used to grab my X10, until I got an X100s and then that was my go-to camera. Recently though, I've been carrying the X-E1 with the 35mm - I just love that lens!

For me it's been my Leica M8.2.

The camera of no camera - Ricoh GR.
(the camera I carry when I'm not carrying a camera)
The wartime eye - Leica M9.
(blazing across time zones and countries)
The filmmaker's dream - Panasonic GH3.
(when it has to be caught on video)
I shoot, I score - the Olympus EM-5.
(when I need to capture people in flight)
The new plan: Ricoh GR and Panasonic LX7 in a Lowepro Streamline 250 for day to day shooting. Let's see how long that plan lasts!

Congratulations on the RX10. Tell me... how is the zoom function on that camera in terms of its speed? Michael Reichmann of The Luminous Landscape web site thinks its too slow (although he loves the camera) overall. What say you?

Definitely the RX100 for me. It's my most versatile compact thanks to the zoom, and also very useful in low light thanks to the 1.8 aperture and the pretty good high ISO performance.
