I can't tell you the number of times I've brought home shots I liked because I had some camera rather than none, whereas if the choice has been limited to big serious camera or no camera, it'd have been none. --------- If you ALWAYS carry a camera, , then becomes invisible. People notice only that you do not have it along. If you fiddle with the camera in meetings and church services and on the street in your neighborhood, people will ignore you, if they are used to seeing you with it. If you dig into your pocket, and pull out a camera, and turn it on and focus it, you are lost. They have your number. It is a stupid idea to think you can drag a camera, any camera out into the open and get the drop on a picture. It just won't happen. In fact, you'll probably be to shy to drag it out. You will lose the picture. You deserve to lose the picture. You had the camera in your pocket. Cameras cannot take pictures in pockets.
