[QUOTE="zx7dave, post: 1715, member: 257"] So this has always been a question... So if you carry your P&S then you can put it anywhere...but are limited on your zoom and overall capabilities in how you want to shoot the picture... The next step up for me in size would be my D3000 with fixed AF-S 35mm so both the camera and lens are not too overwhelming for socail events where camera's stick out like a sore thumb...So then I have more low light capabilities, and more setting options, but am stuck with one focal legnth. Necessary to keep the compact size... Then we get into the D1X/D300Sw/grip with zoom size which people notice you carrying from a block away..never good as you have issues that vary from losing the ability of a surprise shot to capture folks in their natural state, to the problem of getting mugged or asked for money since you must be rich to own a big camera... The various backbacks are nice that are out there, but super slow to get a camera into action from this position...so is only good for transporting to a event... In the end I carry the D3000S (compact), or the D1X/D300S with zoom (obnoxiously large) and a backup Sony TX7 in my pocket. I always use the RS-4 strap that hooks to the tripod mount so the camera sits waist level and I can cup with my hand as I walk, but can swing into motion very quickly for a shot. What is everyone else doing??? [/QUOTE]
