Yep! I used mine for that! Was a coincidence I had it even though, haha. (Not normally the car I drove)

I was somewhat surprised as I started reading this thread that someone carried an ancient old Canon S330....then I notice that post was from me when this post was new grin


I have upgraded to a Canon G9 now...still daily carry. There are so many reasons to not only have a small digital but to carry it daily....just for being able to post cool stuff is a good enough reason for me.

Here is a SD card wallet I sewed up last week...notice the precision seam work whistle



Folded it slips in my shirt pocket.

Does a Blackberry w/ a 2.0 MP camera and built-in GPS count?

I still throw a disposable film camera into the glove box of the car.
Sure developing has become a pain and they do go stale eventually but they are fairly cheap, nobody steals them and there is no old battery problem.
The only reason I put them in the glove box is in case an accident or something unusual needs to be recorded.

Just picked up a better one myself, we carried a small nikon, but nikon has some issues so I bought a small canon to relace it.
I use eneloops so low batteries are not an issue, got rid of all our film camera back in 2000, even the nice $1000 film camera we has can't take a good and clear pictures as a $150 digital, glad to be rid of that format.

I keep a digital camera in the car now. Used to keep a film camera, I can't get them developed anymore. Keep a set of lithium batteries in a wrapper - they last forvever and you can pop them in as needed.

I've put my Canon Digital Elph in the car as it's now backup to a Nikon D90.

Most of us have cameras on our cell phones and other gadgets, but in the event of a car accident I'd much rather have the Canon quality.
