I want to carry my camera around with me more but I hate camera bags, and I especially hate the big camera backpacks. But I also struggle with carrying my camera around and not having to worry about it. I would like to slip it in my bag with me when I go out, that way I have it on me if I see something cool, but I don't want it to get in the way if I need to do some shopping, and I want it to be protected so I don't have to worry about it getting broken in my bag. I use a mirrorless camera with a pancake prime lens and a wrist strap, I don't carry any equipment with me except for maybe a spare battery.
Film cameras are no issue. I have a half frame compact camera and it fits easily into my jacket pocket. I also have a point and shoot which has a little pouch for strapping to my body. It's just the digital camera that I'm concerned about. Digital cameras feel more fragile for whatever reason.
