DSLR owners, When do you actually use your compact camera?
Again just a neat little camera so that when I don't feel like carrying a DSLR I have a capable camera with me.
Remember to engage brain before putting mouth in gear

The reason I bought it was to have a lightweight solution for family holidays - which you Americans call a "vacation" for some reason - (where I know I won't be shooting anything great, but just hanging out with the family) and as a daily camera I can bring around with me everywhere.
The 1Dx with 24-70/70-200/35 1.4 is used for work
AND
I use my fuji when shooting events as a second camera so I can grab quick "hey can you take a photo of us" pics (which people never seem to ask for later) and if I need a wider angle when I'm using the 70-200.
The quality is quite good for wider angle stuff. Just as good as a 7D would be (though the AF isn't as good).
I am considering buying a 5Diii as a medium weight solution for times where I want a nice camera but not need to lug around a 1Dx.
That Fuji is a really nice camera, would love to see a range of photos from it!
Most of them are family pics. I haven't really had time to edit any. Will put some up eventually.
