I have a big purse, throwing my D80 in there is just fine. I don't carry my D300 with me for day to day stuff because it is too big (unless I took the grip off). I have a pool of cameras that get thrown in my purse... but my Holga and D80 are the usual suspects.
@sarmientorj: I bought a DSLR a few months ago but sadly I'm not using it much because among all the stuff I have to bring to work every morning it's just too much and I have to take my pictures during my work day. So I take my little point and shoot with me wherever I go and I'll try to take my DSLR more over the next few months, when I go out on weekends or on photo walks.
@suzk and @jannaellen, the same goes with me. I find my dSLR very bulky that's why I bring it for planned shots like big parties and events. I have my handy P&S though. which hasn't failed me. I bring my P&S everyday to school and to the hospital to take nice shots in med school. :)
I just have my original camera bag that came with my camera .... however it has a handy pocket for my purse & phone and also a flat pocket at the back which fits a nappy & wipes haha ! so this mummy can take the camera bag over the handbag without any hassle really :)
I wouldn't go so far as to say reserved just for special occasions... but my 'good gear' is in the nice camera bag and only goes when I know I've got something to shoot. My P&S lives in my car for those times that I run across something I didn't know I might want to shoot.
I use range finder cameras, which are more compact than DSLR. Always in the car or with me. Only use DSLR about 10% of the time, or when I want to use macro or telephoto lenses. If I don't have any real camera, iphone will do.
