Yes
Im just curious to what people are using as a second camera to their main DSLR/Mirrorless setup for those times when you don't want/need a big body and big lenses?
 
A Sony Nex 6 for digital or a Contax 139 for film...
 
Panasonic LX100 if I anticipate video (4k).

Fuji X20 for convenience.

Pentax K-S1 + Pentax Ltd's for lightness and high IQ.
 
Stick a pancake 27mm on the X-E2 and it's nice and compact, not that it's a massive body to start with. My main cameras are already compact - X-E2, DP2M, DP3M - any bulk is down to how many of them I'm carrying at the same time.
 
X30 as a compact, Nikon P900 as a bridge.
 
Olympus XZ-10. In the shirt pocket. Or PEN with body cap lens. In vest pocket.
 
My "main" camera is my Sony A7 which is already small when fitted with a 35 or 55mm lens but although this is the best camera I've ever had I use MFT more and my most compact MFT camera is my Panasonic GX7 which when fitted with a 17 or 25 or even 45mm lens or the tiny 14-42mm kit zoom is winter coat pocketable.
 
Canon G7 X (1st gen) or mobile phone, currently Galaxy Note 3.
 
I usually just stick my 50mm on my D750 and take a smaller bag. Would like something smaller sometimes but for the amount of use it would get I can't justify it right now.
 
X100S, TCL, WCL, hitech filters packed and ready for Vietnam next week.

Hope you enjoy. It's a place I'd like to visit but GF (she's Thai) refuses to go due to their treatment of animals.
 
Sony RX100, awesome little thing :)
 
RX 100 M3

RX100 m2 for me
 
iPhone 7

MIGHT pick up one of the RX100's now the mark V has been announced. Hoping for a nice price drop of the IV
 
Another one who uses an em5 when travelling light. Actually nearly all the time. The D3 is for special occasions only.
 
Panasonic Lumix TZ80. I bought for when I don't want to carry heavy kit - it fits nicely in my trousers pocket.

A6000 is my travel camera - though my inability to properly 'travel light' means I usually have the 16-50, 55-210 and 50 f/1.8 lenses with it...

Still fairly compact set-up though :)

Thank you for your answers! Im thinking about what camera to get as a second camera, weather to go for a compact like the RX100 or a small interchangeable lens camera like the Olympus OM-D series! Olympus have the Test and Wow so i may try one out for a couple days and see how i get on with one!
 
I don't own a DSLR! My second camera for travelling light is a Sony a7rii; my main camera is a 5x4 Walker Titan SF.
 
Canon eos-m with 22mm f2.0 or Fuji XA -XA2 or XM with XF 27mm f2.8 or XF18mm f2.0
in all honesty I'm spoilt for choice when it come to a compact camera :runaway:
 
LX100 too, i just find it's pretty good and all the buttons are in the right place! I love the layout of the buttons which i have slightly adapted, and i love the instant access to aperture/shutter speed/image ratio. I got some picture at iso 1600 and iso 2500 that are really pretty good and some video at iso 3200 too!
