Something nice about a smaller camera is you can get into more places. There isn't much room for argument when the sign in the museum clearly says no SLRs, but "point and shoot" cameras are fine.

Currently eating a Lamb Biryani in England's oldest Indian restaurant. The maitre d' sounds Russian, the waitress is definitely South African and the guys at the table next to me -- who have a pretty good buzz going for 1:00 pm -- are Korean.
