I don't know what to say to you about worrying about inhibitions with the 7K camera, except to say that there are very few camera thieves these day because pawn shops just don't buy cameras much anymore. Since there are no real camera shops in most places; (You know, stores that sell more than two emulsions of film and have a full Used Camera counter.) the market for stolen photo goods barely exists. What's left to fear is pilot error including clumsiness and forgetfulness. Insurance can mitigate these. The main thing is to just do it! Carry the camera all the time so it becomes a part of you. You NEVER know when a picture will jump out in front of you! -- Regards, Sonny http://sonc.com/look/ Natchitoches, Louisiana USA
