Some people use their smartphone's camera (recent smartphones have rather good cameras, some of up to 13 MP) to take semi-artistic/semi-professional photos, not just pictures of friends and selfies for social networks.
Do you have a smartphone, and if you do, have you thought about using its camera as an instrument for feeding your passion for photography?

I used to use my phone all the time for pictures, despite the fact that it has only a 2MP camera. I now have a 10MP camera to work with, so I suppose my phone has pretty much been replaced.
It's definitely very interesting to see just how much phone cameras have improved recently. The main disadvantage is the lack of the high quality lenses, but some companies have begun to look into the idea of implementing better lenses into phones. It will be interesting to see what happens.

I do, typically when I'm just out and about and see a cool scene worthy of a photo.

Eh, I don't use it often for serious purposes, real cameras are still far ahead on that front.

My point-and-shoot is out of service, and my camcorder doesn't take really nice pictures so I use my smartphone's 8MP camera. It's quite nice, and much better than I initially expected it would be.

XOLO q800x and sometimes my sister's Xperia z1 when we are out together. She is as much of a photophile as me.
