Do you always take your DSLR all the time?

I'm very happy with my D5100. There are times, though, that I just don't grab it and carry it with me when I go out. I know it's common for DSLR users to have compact cameras. I would like to hear from other forum members whether this is an issue for them or not.

I'm tempted to buy a compact like the Canon G15. (Had a G11; it was fun to carry/shoot with very good IQ.) It's $419.00 on Amazon right now. Then I start thinking it's more "logical" to put that money into Nikon DX lenses or accessories. Not an easy decision with limited funds.

No compact will do what my D5100 can, but the best camera is one you have with you!

Thanks for taking your time to respond with your opinions on having/using a compact camera in addition to your DX. If you use a compact, what is your favorite?
