Women have pants with real pockets? Please tell my wife.

Old Navy! Well sort of..... Since they re-did all of their sizing many of their womens jeans actually have a full pocket inside but they're stitched in half

$5 amazon thread ripper kit and I have real pockets! lol

Yes. This. Either no pockets, fake pockets, or pockets stitched in half.

I really liked my LA Police Gear Battle Rattle tactical pants for work. They, and most tactical pants, would make perfect camera-toting pants. Plus, they’re butch.

One might do better with cargo pants, although even the small cameras, ignoring cell phones, weight down the pockets too much.

I personally carried a heavy duty flashlight and all manner of hand tools including 2 cell phones in my pants and never felt weighed down and I did a bunch of monkey work in attics.

Carrying an XA or two plus extra film and batteries would be a breeze.

I’ve been looking at point and shoot camera prices on eBay. The word is out on anything with a Zeiss or Leica lens.

There are still some secrets out there in the RF and ZF world, but I’m worried that suddenly those will be all the rage, too.

Then you need an early version Leica with a panache lens.

the olympus infinity jr can be had real cheap, good iq (if you find the xa any good, as some apparently do, it's comparable)

Whether or not the Oly XA series is considered overpriced based on its capabilities, consider another Oly: the Trip 35. Talk about a bare-bones shooter. But look at its prices these days, especially the black ones. Several years ago, I bought a guy's Oly OM outfit and he tossed a black Trip 35 in with the mix. I sold all the OM gear, but kept the Trip 35 out of curiosity. So I put a few rolls of B&W through it -- good old Plus X Pan, which I had a brick of the stuff I'd kept frozen, but was slowly working through. Despite the camera's almost total lack of controls, the photos it took were quite good. Well exposed, and sharp. Somewhere around then I also looked up the price of the Trip 35 and found out that the black ones were selling for a healthy premium. Which, strange for me, made me want to keep it even more. Glad I dd -- it's a great, no-frills, compact shooter.
