Even something that can handle so-called "digital ink" (as much as I despise the term) such as Microsoft's Surface, in combination with software that is designed specifically for it, really isn't all that great. I'd still rather carry pen and paper for those occasions.
And although the camera might be useful for taking a picture of someone's whiteboard scribbling...the result leaves a lot to be desired.

It's a matter of great irony to me that in many of the meetings I get invited to, I'm the only one who arrives completely naked - no laptop or [electronic] tablet. Most of those meetings I'll be the only computer/software-type there.
I carry a small paper tablet and a pen[^], along with my reading glasses. Yes I'm old, dammit, now get the off my lawn!

I'm not sure what a portable is, but I keep notes on my phone - I just write them into my phone after the meeting because using a phone during a meeting tends to seen as not paying attention. Although usually I go back to a computer and type it up, it's just easier that way.

Yup, on my second log book. My 30th Propelling pencil. Much easier to scratch a circuit diagram on dead wood...

Yes, and not just in the office.
A paper notepad during meetings (mindmaps mostly), adding notes or comments to any printed material. Outside the office there is a moleskine for notes, and a "dry erase marker" on the toilet to write on the toilet-door. Any door is a whiteboard

Moleskine makes the best field notebooks I've ever used. I love the perforated ones, fantastic for leader books.

Yes, to mostly doodle.
or when writing down stuff in a format that is more difficult to do on screen
I'd rather be phishing!

Rarely, when taking notes during meetings mostly, for the rest all digital

Not in my day-to-day work, but when I'm constipated I like to work it out with a pencil.

Must be a very flexible pencil?

I use paper for doodles, maths, design, shopping lists, and all manner of other things.

You forgot to mention the blessed whiteboard: the best place to visualize designs and realize when you're being stupid.

I just came back from a discount store nearby and bought one for the reason to make notes

My problem with whiteboards is that I'll write something down and leave it there for months. After that much time, so-called "dry erase markers" might as well be permanent markers...
