What camera do you carry on the trails?

What kind of cameras do people carry on the trails?

I looked for a thread on here about what cameras people carry, but my search came up empty handed. If this thread is out there, and someone could post a link that would be cool. However, if there isn't I think we should start the thread.

I carry a gopro hero2.

Panasonic GF2, one pancake and one telephoto. I also have a 45mm macro and 14-45mm GP.

Nikon D3100 + 35mm 1.8 G (just got it today! My first DSLR:)

Just picked up the same setup as my first DSLR. Getting home from the Redwoods and finding the old point and shoot had taken a whole batch of junk photos in the lowlight under the trees was the last straw! The prime lense is fun, it sure keeps you on your toes.

Gone through way too much gear over the years ... current setup is Pentax K5ii, 16-50 2.8 and 50-135 2.8. All weather sealed. Pentax weather sealing is first rate, and prices on the gear is quite good (for used lenses that is).

The K5ii is tiny in comparison to other full-featured APS-C cameras (camerasize.com) and only slightly bigger than the Olympus OM-D, which I previously had.

When Olympus gets more weather sealed lenses for the OM-D series, I'll probably move again as I really, really like the Olympus gear. After lugging Nikons and Canons around for 25+ years professionally, small and light is a pleasure (especially if it gets the job done).

Down Side- No brilliant blow you away shots.

Up Side- Still a good shot every time, light, the zoom.

Shots like this I wouldn't of got with a 200mm lens.

Depends on the trail. Walking the dog on local trails, I carry a Leica d'Lux 4. If I'm somewhere really cool, Canon 5D MkII and one or two lenses. Try to keep things as light as possible.

Last year I picked up a Fuji x100 for backpacking so that i could leave the DSLR at home. The auto focus can be a little finicky at times, but so far I'm really happy with the image quality.
