I'll usually have a compact with me even when I'm using my EOS. It's usually the Powershot A495 but sometimes the old Sony DSC-W5, which has a bigger sensor (1/1.8) and dead-on color.

I ALWAYS own a point shoot as there are WAY too many times in my life its just not practical to carry my DSLR equipment. I need something as high quality as possible and compact so that I can have it with me whenever. On top of that its needs to be "operatable" by others so I can be in some pics too!

There are things I see that I'd like to photograph when my DSLR isn't handy, but if I were to photograph them with anything less, I'd likely spend an inordinate amount of time crying over how much better they could have been if they had been taken with the right camera.

Iancentric Senior Member ![]() More info | May 10, 2011 15:44 | #112 i nearly always have a compact with me, right now I am using a SD1200, (It was cheap, $99). Even if i am carrying a DSLR. I have been out shooting birds or something with a long lens on then something close will grab my attention, It's easier to pull the compact out of my pocket then go digging through my bag for a different lens. The other way as well, I have on a uwa, then suddenly need telephoto.

I use my DSLR's a lot too, but hate dragging them all around with me. So, this little baby does a fine job when I want to catch something while I am out without the DSLR's.

But usually I just lug around my damn SLR's. Been looking at a good compact but for the price of a good compact I have 1/4th of the price of an L lens or perhaps the whole price of a good zeiss. lol, yes, you could get 1/4th of a lens - or an entire camera. One of the two - I'm pretty sure - will take a complete picture.

I'm absolutely loving the freedom and quality this compact delivers. The quality is hardly surprising, since it has a newer and slightly larger sensor than your 50D. The X100 has an APS-C sensor, not what most people would consider a compact.
